Title: The Burnside problem for odd exponents
(Submitted on 28 Mar 2023 (v1), last revised 28 Mar 2024 (this version, v5))
Abstract: We show that the free Burnside groups $B(m,n)$ are infinite for $m\geq 2$ and odd $n\geq 557$, the best currently known lower bound for the exponent. The proof uses iterated small cancellation theory where the induction is based on the nesting depth of relators. The main instrument at every step is a new concept of a certification sequence.
