Locally finite groups with all subgroups either subnormal or nilpotent-by-Chernikov

Let G be a locally finite group satisfying the condition given in the title and suppose that G is not nilpotent-by-Chernikov. It is shown that G has a section S that is not nilpotent-by-Chernikov, where S is either a p-group or a semi-direct product of the additive group A of a locally finite field F by a subgroup K of the multiplicative group of F, where K acts by multiplication on A and generates F as a ring. Non-(nilpotent-by-Chernikov) extensions of this latter kind exist and are described in detail.

GROUPS THAT INVOLVE FINITELY MANY PRIMES AND HAVE ALL SUBGROUPS SUBNORMAL II

It is shown that if G is a hypercentral group with all subgroups subnormal, and if the torsion subgroup of G is a pi-group for some finite set pi of primes, then G is nilpotent. In the case where G is not hypercentral there is a section of G that is much like one of the well-known Heineken-Mohamed groups. It is also shown that if G is a residually nilpotent group with all subgroups subnormal whose torsion subgroup satisfies the above condition then G is nilpotent.
