Definition
A group of finite exponent is a group satisfying the following equivalent conditions:
- Its exponent is a finite natural number. In other words, all the elements of the group have finite order, and the lcm of the orders of all elements (which is how the exponent is defined) is finite.
- The maximum of element orders is a finite natural number. In other words, all the elements of the group have finite order, and the maximum of the orders of all elements is finite.
