Needs more focus
Apr 11, 2019 at 8:38 comment added YCor This sounds to me a bit open-ended; I think this is better-suited to MathSE. By the way "large torsion" hasn't been defined and has already been interpreted as "having elements of arbitrary large order" and "having arbitrary large finite subgroups".

Apr 11, 2019 at 5:52 comment added YCor More precisely, you provide presentations of Thompson's group $F$ and then give a statement about Thompson's group $V$ (about its finite subgroups).
Apr 11, 2019 at 5:24 comment added user35370 You are probably thinking of Thompson's group V instead of F(which is the presentations you give)
Apr 11, 2019 at 4:58 comment added user35370 Thompson's group is torsion free, so it doesn't contain any finite subgroups except the trivial group
Apr 10, 2019 at 23:18 comment added Derek Holt With finitely generated torsion groups, it is very much easier to construct examples that have unbounded torsion than ones that do not! The Grigorchuk and Gupta-Sidki groups have unbounded torsion.
