Özet
We consider infinite locally finite-simple groups (that is, infinite groups in which every finite subset lies in a finite simple subgroup). We first prove that in such groups, centralizers of involutions either are soluble or involve an infinite simple group, and we conclude that in either case centralizers of involutions are not inert subgroups. We also show that in such groups, the centralizer of an involution is linear if and only if the ambient group is linear.
