Definition

A group in which every finite abelian subgroup is cyclic is a group satisfying the following equivalent conditions:

• Every Finite abelian subgroup (?) (i.e., every subgroup that is a Finite abelian group (?)) is cyclic as a group: in other words, is a Cyclic subgroup (?).
• Every Finite subgroup (?) is a Finite group with periodic cohomology (?).

Formalisms

In terms of the subgroup property collapse operator

This group property can be defined in terms of the collapse of two subgroup properties. In other words, a group satisfies this group property if and only if every subgroup of it satisfying the first property (finite abelian subgroup) satisfies the second property (finite cyclic subgroup), and vice versa.
