The author constructs an embedding of a free Burnside group \(B(m,n)\) of odd exponent \(n>2^{48}\) into a finitely presented group with certain special properties. One application of this embedding is a new simpler construction of finitely presented non-amenable groups without non-cyclic free subgroups. Earlier such groups [which solve Grigorchuk's Problem 8.7 in The Kourovka Notebook (2006; Zbl 1084.20001)] were constructed by \textit{A. Yu. Ol'shanskii} and \textit{M. V. Sapir} [Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 96, 43--169 (2002; Zbl 1050.20019)] using a different method. Another application is a construction of so-called weakly finitely presented groups of sufficiently large odd exponent \(n\) which are not locally finite. Previously the author constructed weakly finitely presented periodic groups which are not locally finite [Contemp. Math. 296, 139--154 (2002; Zbl 1026.20024)], but those groups were of unbounded exponent. The proofs rely on the author's technique of HNN-extensions for groups of large odd exponent [developed in Math. Appl., Dordr. 555, 39--53 (2003; Zbl 1042.20024)].
