locally 𝒫


Let 𝒫 be a property of groups. A group G is said to be locally P if every nontrivial finitely generated subgroup of G has property 𝒫.

For example, the locally infinite groups are precisely the torsion-free groups. Other classes of groups defined this way include locally finite groups and locally cyclic groups.
