Abstract:
We prove the local finiteness of some periodic groups generated by odd transpositions. As a consequence of our results we will show that the Suzuki simple groups $Sz(2^{2m+1})$ are recognizable by their spectrum in the class of periodic groups without subgroups isomorphic to $D_8$, the dihedral group of order $8$.
Keywords:spectrum of a group, recognizability, Suzuki simple groups, involution, odd transposition.
