Rank gradient and torsion groups

Group Theory 2014-02-26 v5

Abstract

We construct first examples of infinite finitely generated residually finite torsion groups with positive rank gradient. In particular, these groups are non-amenable. Some applications to problems about cost and L2L^2-Betti numbers are discussed.
