Abstract We prove that for positive integers $m \geq 1, n \geq 1$ and a prime number $p \neq 2,3$ there are finitely many finite m-generated Moufang loops of exponent $p^n$ .

AbstractWe survey the current state of knowledge of bounds in the restricted Burnside problem. We make two conjectures which are related to the theory of PI-algebras.

In the course of preparing a book on group theory [1] with special reference to the Restricted Burnside Problem and allied problems I stumbled upon the concept of a dimension-linking operator. Later, when I lectured to the Third Summer Institute of the Australian Mathematical Society [2], G. E. Wall raised the question whether the dimension-linking operators could be made into a ring by introduction of a suitable definition of multiplication. The answer was easily found to be affirmative; the result wasthat the theory of dimen sion-linking operators became exceedingly simple.

AbstractIn this paper, we prove that the maximal order of a semiregular element in the automorphism group of a cubic vertex-transitive graph Γ does not tend to infinity as the number of vertices of Γ tends to infinity. This gives a solution (in the negative) to a conjecture of Peter Cameron, John Sheehan and the author [4, conjecture 2].However, with an application of the positive solution of the restricted Burnside problem, we show that this conjecture holds true when Γ is either a Cayley graph or an arc-transitive graph.

We characterize the structure of linear semigroups satisfying certain global and local nilpotence conditions and deduce various Engel-type results. For example, using a form of Zel'manov's solution of the restricted Burnside problem we are able to show that a finitely generated residually finite group is nilpotent if and only if it satisfies a certain 4-generator property of semigroups we call WMN. Methods of linear semigroups then allow us to prove that a linear semigroup is Mal'cev nilpotent precisely when it satisfies WMN. As an application, we show that a finitely generated associative algebra is nilpotent when viewed as a Lie algebra if and only if its adjoint semigroup is WMN.
