[edit] p^∞-group

I don't think the linked article defines the p^∞-group. Cound someone do that here? Orthografer 23:16, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I've corrected the link: p^∞-groups are also called Prüfer groups (or quasicyclic groups). --Zundark 10:35, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Restricted Burnside Problem

Defining M to be the intersection of all NORMAL subgroups of finite Index of B(m,n), makes things much easier. See "The Restricted Burnside Problem" by Michael Vaughan-Lee (available at google books)
