Abstract

A proof is given that the quasivariety of groups generated by finite and torsion-free groups does not contain the class of periodic groups. This result is related to (and inspired by) the solvability of equations over groups. The proof uses the Feit–Thompson theorem on the solvability of finite groups of odd order as well as Kostrikin–Zelmanov results on the restricted Burnside problem, and applies technical details of a recent construction of weakly finitely presented periodic groups.
