An infinite finitely presented periodic group
OpenAI
Abstract
We construct an infinite group with an ordinary finite presentation in which every element has finite order, answering the finitely presented Burnside question negatively. We also construct an infinite-dimensional finitely presented nonunital nil associative algebra over 𝔽 that is Jacobson radical but not nilpotent. Its unitization is finitely presented, algebraic, and infinite-dimensional. These algebras answer the finitely presented nil- and radical-algebra nilpotence questions and the finite-presentation version of Kurosh's algebraic finiteness question negatively.
