Abstract

A group G is periodic of bounded exponent if there exists k ∈ N such that every element of G has order at most k. We show that every finitely generated periodic group of bounded exponent G < DiffwS2/ is finite, where DiffwS2/ denotes the group of diffeomorphisms of S2 that preserve an area form !.
