Abstract

We construct an infinite finitely generated recursively presented residually finite algorithmically finite group GG answering thereby a question of Myasnikov and Osin. Moreover, GG is "very infinite" and "very algorithmically finite" in the sense that GG contains an infinite abelian normal subgroup while all finite Cartesian powers of GG are algorithmically finite (i.e., for any positive integer nn, there is no algorithm which writes out an infinite sequence of pairwise different elements of GnG^n). We also state several related problems.
