Extract

1. The object of this note is to prove the restricted Burnside conjecture for exponent 5, that is, to prove, for n = 5, the proposition:

Rn: For each positive integer k there is an integer rn, k such that every finite group of exponent n that can be generated by k elements has order at most rn, k.
