The two generator restricted Burnside group of exponent five
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 1902 Burnside [4] wrote "A still undecided point in the theory of discontinuous groups is whether the order of a group may be not finite while the order of every operation it contains is finite". This leads to the following problem, now called the Burnside problem: "If a group is finitely generated and of finite exponent, is it finite?" This is a very difficult question so a weaker form known as the restricted Burnside problem has also been investigated. The restricted Burnside problem is "Given integers n and r is there a largest finite group B(n, r) with v generators and exponent n ?" Of course an affirmative answer to the Burnside problem is automatically an affirmative answer to the restricted Burnside problem.

The Restricted Burnside Problem
In 1902 William Burnside [5] wrote 'A still undecided point in the theory of discontinuous groups is whether the order of a group may be not finite, while the order of every operation it contains is finite'. In modern terminology the most general form of the problem is 'can a finitely generated group be infinite while every element in the group has finite order?'. This question was answered in ...
متن کاملOn the Restricted Burnside Problem
After many unsuccessful attempts to obtain a proof in the late 30s-early 40s the following weaker version of The Burnside Problem was studied: Is it true that there are only finitely many 7??-generated finite groups of exponent nl In other words the question is whether there exists a universal finite m-generated group of exponent n having all other finite m-generated groups of exponent n as hom...
متن کاملOn Subgroups of Free Burnside Groups of Large Odd Exponent
We prove that every noncyclic subgroup of a free m-generator Burnside group B(m, n) of odd exponent n ≫ 1 contains a subgroup H isomorphic to a free Burnside group B(∞, n) of exponent n and countably infinite rank such that for every normal subgroup K of H the normal closure 〈K〉B(m,n) of K in B(m, n) meets H in K. This implies that every noncyclic subgroup of B(m, n) is SQ-universal in the clas...
متن کاملOn the Burnside Problem for Groups of Even Exponent
The Burnside problem about periodic groups asks whether any finitely generated group with the law x ≡ 1 is necessarily finite. This is proven only for n ≤ 4 and n = 6. A negative solution to the Burnside problem for odd n ≫ 1 was given by Novikov and Adian. The article presents a discussion of a recent solution of the Burnside problem for even exponents n ≫ 1 and related results. 1991 Mathemati...
متن کاملApplication of Computers to Questions like those of Burnside, II
We show how automorphisms can be used to reduce signiicantly the resources needed to enforce laws in p-groups. This increases the extent to which Burnside groups with prime-power exponent can be studied in detail. For example, we describe how to construct power-conjugate presentations for the restricted Burnside groups R(5; 4) and R(3; 5) which have orders 2 2728 and 5 2282 respectively. We als...
