This answers a long-standing open question. The involutions in the groups G that we construct have no fixed points.SubjectsABELIAN groups; FIXED point theory; FREE products (Group theory); GROUP theory; PERMUTATION groupsPublicationJournal of the European Mathematical Society (EMS Publishing), 2017, Vol 19, Issue 10, p2895ISSN1435-9855Publication typeArticleDOI10.4171/JEMS/730
