A '''torsion-free group with two conjugacy classes''' is a nontrivial group satisfying these two conditions: it is [[torsion-free group|torsion-free]], i.e., no nontrivial element in it has finite order, and [[group with two conjugacy classes|it has two conjugacy classes of elements]].
A '''torsion-free group with two conjugacy classes''' is a nontrivial group satisfying these two conditions: it is [[aperiodic group|aperiodic]], i.e., no nontrivial element in it has finite order, and [[group with two conjugacy classes|it has two conjugacy classes of elements]].

A torsion-free group with two conjugacy classes is a nontrivial group satisfying these two conditions: it is aperiodic, i.e., no nontrivial element in it has finite order, and it has two conjugacy classes of elements.
