On groups whose subnormal subgroups are inert

Abstract

A subgroup H of a group G is called inert if for each $g\in G$ the index of $H\cap H^g$ in $H$ is finite. We give a classification of soluble-by-finite groups $G$ in which subnormal subgroups are inert in the cases where $G$ has no nontrivial torsion normal subgroups or $G$ is finitely generated.
