Properties of Infinite Groups
For an infinite group, a "small neighborhood" is taken to be a finitely generated subgroup. An infinite group is said to be locally P if every finitely generated subgroup is P. For instance, a group is locally finite if every finitely generated subgroup is finite. A group is locally soluble if every finitely generated subgroup is soluble.
