Review text

The study of groups with exponent six is a special case of the study of the Burnside questions about periodic groups. The nature of relations required to provide proofs of finiteness for some groups with exponent six is investigated. Let \(C(r,s)\) be the largest 2-generator group with exponent six generated by elements of orders \(r\) and \(s\). Presentations for the groups \(C(2,2)\), \(C(2,3)\), \(C(3,3)\), \(C(2,6)\) and \(C(3,6)\) are determined. Upper and lower bounds for the number of sixth powers needed to define the largest 2-generator group with exponent six are obtained.
