FC-group

In mathematics, in the field of group theory, an FC-group is a group in which every conjugacy class of elements has finite cardinality.

The following are some facts about FC-groups:

  • Every finite group is an FC-group.[1]
  • Every abelian group is an FC-group.[2]
  • The following property is stronger than the property of being FC: every subgroup has finite index in its normal closure.

gollark: Not really sure what sort of stuff exists on IRC which I might be interested in, though.
gollark: I might get some sort of web-based IRC client installed (like this: https://thelounge.chat/).
gollark: Which is... not too problematic, but an extra barrier to entry.
gollark: A bouncer is *a* solution, kind of, but it means I have to run an extra program just to get a basic feature which Discord and whatnot support.
gollark: Formatting does belong in the client, sure, except there's not really much of a way to get people to actually standardize on one.
