Abstract
We show that there exists a constant K such that for any PI- algebra W and any nondegenerate G-grading on W where G is any group (possibly infinite), there exists an abelian subgroup U of G with $[G : U] \leq exp(W)^K$. A G-grading $W = \bigoplus_{g \in G}W_g$ is said to be nondegenerate if $W_{g_1}W_{g_2}... W_{g_r} \neq 0$ for any $r \geq 1$ and any $r$ tuple $(g_1, g_2,..., g_r)$ in $G^r$.
