Abstract:
We prove the following:
THEOREM.Let $U$ be a locally finite Suzuki–Higman $2$-group with respect to an automorphism group $H$. Then $U$ and $H$ are representable as the respective unions of ascending chains of finite subgroups \begin{align*}
U_1<U_2<&\dots<U_n<\dots,\\
H_1<H_2<&\dots<H_n<\dots,
\end{align*} in which case every subgroup $U_n$ is a Suzuki $2$-group with respect to$H_n$.
