%0 Journal Article %T Large localizations of finite groups %A Adam J. Przezdziecki %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X We construct examples of localizations in the category of groups which take the Mathieu group $M_{11}$ to groups of arbitrarily large cardinality which are ``abelian up to finitely many generators''. The paper is part of a broader study on the group theoretic properties which are or are not preserved by localizations. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0810.1632v1
