A sample iterated small cancellation theory for groups of Burnside type

I. G. Lysenok

Steklov Mathematical Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow

Abstract: We develop yet another technique to present the free Burnside group $B(m,n)$ of odd exponent $n$ with $m\ge 2$ generators as a group satisfying a certain iterated small cancellation condition. Using the approach, we provide a reasonably accessible proof that $B(m,n)$ is infinite with a moderate bound $n>2000$ on the odd exponent $n$.
