Corrigendum and addendum to: “Centralizers of finite subgroups in Hall’s universal group”. (English) Zbl 1453.20050

Summary: In Hall’s universal group every non-trivial conjugacy class satisfies \(CC=U\). Hence generalized version of J. G. Thompson’s conjecture is true for every non-trivial conjugacy class \(C\) in \(U\). Moreover Ore’s conjecture (every element is a commutator) is true for \(U\) is added to [the authors, ibid. 138, 283–288 (2017; Zbl 1380.20039)]. In [loc. cit., Theorem 2.4] \(C_U(F)/Z(F)\cong U\) is true if \(Z(F)=1\).
