Mathematicians prove finite groups admit 'just finite' presentations

A mathematical conjecture posed in the Kourovka Notebook has been resolved, confirming that every finite group can be represented by a 'just finite' presentation. This means that for any finite group, there exists a set of relations such that removing any single relation from the set results in a presentation for an infinite group. The proof was published on arXiv by Marc Lackenby. AI

    Every finite group admits a just finite presentation

    arXiv:2605.10402v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A finite presentation < X | R > of a finite group is called `just finite' if removing any relation from R results in a presentation for an infinite group. It has been an open question (Kourovka Notebook, Problem 21.10) whe…
