A simple construction of infinite finitely generated torsion groups
Abstract
The goal of this note is to provide yet another proof of the following theorem of Golod: there exists an infinite finitely generated group G such that every element of G has finite order. Our proof is based on the Nielsen-Schreier index formula and is simple enough to be included in a standard group theory course.
