Does the Tarski Monster group with prime 5 exist? I know that for 2 and 3, the group does not exist, but what about 5?

1$\begingroup$ The Burnside problem en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnside's_problem for exponent 5 still seems to be open. $\endgroup$– PrimozAug 2, 2013 at 7:23

3$\begingroup$ It is an open problem. It is not even known whether finitely generated groups of exponent 5 are finite. $\endgroup$– Derek HoltAug 2, 2013 at 7:26

5$\begingroup$ Then in that case, i will try it. $\endgroup$– D. N.Aug 2, 2013 at 7:37

13$\begingroup$ @Deibor: Good choice! Finding a Tarski monster for $p=5$ is the surest way to get a Fields medal. $\endgroup$– user6976Aug 2, 2013 at 7:56

3$\begingroup$ Of course, you won't get a Fields medal even with a Tarski monster, if you are at least 40 years old on January 1st of the next year that is congruent to 2 mod 4. $\endgroup$– S. Carnahan ♦Aug 3, 2013 at 8:05
