Groups of small period growth

Group Theory 2022-01-13 v1

Abstract

We construct finitely generated groups of small period growth, i.e. groups where the maximum order of an element of word length nn grows very slowly in nn. This answers a question of Bradford related to the lawlessness growth of groups and is connected to an approximative version of the restricted Burnside problem.
