Infinite Groups with Finitely many Conjugacy Classes

341 Views Asked by At

If $G$ is an infinite group with finitely many conjugacy classes, what can be said about $G$? (Should $G$ be simple/ solvable/....?) For $n\geq 2$, does there exists a (infinite) group $G$ with exactly $n$ conjugacy classes, which is periodic also?

I couldn't find any information on these questions. One may provide links also for details. Thanks in advance.
