“…Thus a profinite group G with fewer than 2 ℵ0 isomorphism classes of infinite procyclic subgroups has non-trivial p-Sylow subgroups for only finitely many primes; if G also has fewer than 2 ℵ0 conjugacy classes of p-elements for each prime p it follows from Theorems A and B, and the fact that each finite nonabelian simple group has order divisible by 3 or 5, that G is finite. Therefore we recover the result of Jaikin-Zapirain and Nikolov [7] mentioned above.…”

“…In [4], Jaikin-Zapirain and Nikolov proved that a profinite group with countably many conjugacy classes must be finite. A well-known theorem of Zelmanov [9] asserts that profinite torsion groups are locally finite; that is, their finite subsets generate finite subgroups.…”
