Finitely generated infinite torsion groups that are residually finite simple

Group Theory 2024-07-09 v1

Abstract

We show that every finitely generated residually finite torsion group GG embeds in a finitely generated torsion group Γ\Gamma that is residually finite simple. In particular we show the existence of finitely generated infinite torsion groups that are residually finite simple, which answers a question of Olshanskii and Osin.
