Sep 14, 2012 at 2:05 comment added Benjamin Steinberg @Misha, this is a nice answer. There is a very slight misstatement. There is no such thing as a single finite presentation for which it is undecidable whether the group is finite or not. Either the Turing machine that says yes or the one which says no is correct. What is undecidable is the uniform problem. Similarly finite presentability is undecidable as a uniform problem, not for a fixed subgroup. On the other hand the generalized word problem is unsolvable for a fixed subgroup.
