Burnside conjecture for exceptional surface homeomorphism groups
Burnside conjecture for exceptional surface homeomorphism groups
Let be one of the four exceptional closed surfaces
A subgroup is periodic if every one of its elements has finite order. Burnside conjecture for exceptional surfaces. For each , every finitely generated periodic subgroup of is finite. The sphere and torus cases are open without additional hypotheses, while the corresponding questions for the real projective plane and Klein bottle appear to be entirely open.
