Abstract

Let G be a profinite group in which every centralizer CG(x) (x ϵ G) is either finite or of finite index. It is shown that G is finite-by-abelian-byfinite. Moreover, if, in addition, G is a just-infinite pro-p group, then it has the structure of a p-adic space group whose point group is cyclic or generalized quaternion.
