Abstract

A subgroup X of a group G is strongly inert if the index | ⟨ X, X g  ⟩: X| is finite for all elements g ∈ G, and a group is strongly inertial if all its subgroups are strongly inert. This article investigates the structure of strongly inertial groups. In particular, strongly inertial groups which are either finitely generated or minimax are completely classified. Moreover, groups in which many subgroups are strongly inert are studied.
