Abstract:
Let H be a subgroup of a group G generated by a finite G-invariant subset X=⋃ki=1Ci that consists of elements of finite order, where Ci is the class of conjugate elements of G with representative ai. We prove that
|H|≤k∏i=1o(ai)|Ci|,
where o(ai) is the order of the element ai∈Ci. Best estimates are obtained for some important special cases.
