Generators, relations, and presentations of groups (20F05) Hyperbolic groups and nonpositively curved groups (20F67) Word problems, other decision problems, connections with logic and automata (group-theoretic aspects) (20F10) Other classes of groups defined by subgroup chains (20F22)

Abstract: We show that a construction by Aanderaa and Cohen used in their proof of the Higman Embedding Theorem preserves torsion length. We give a new construction showing that every finitely presented group is the quotient of some $C^{\prime }(1/6)$ finitely presented group by the subgroup generated by its torsion elements. We use these results to show there is a finitely presented group with infinite torsion length which is $C^{\prime }(1/6)$, and thus word-hyperbolic and virtually torsion-free.
