The finitely presented intermediate-growth conjecture

About 20 years old · traced to

A group has intermediate growth when its growth is faster than every polynomial and slower than every exponential function.

Finitely presented intermediate-growth conjecture. There are no finitely presented groups of intermediate growth.

The existence of finitely presented groups of intermediate growth is described as a major open problem, and the source says the answer is believed to be negative.
