This question already has an answer here:




  • Torsion elements of a group aren't necessarily a subgroup [duplicate]

    1 answer




Let $Tor(G) = { g in G | exists n >0 , g^n = e }$ of a group $G$ , give an example to $G$ such that $Tor(G)$ is not sub group ?



Easy to prove that $G$ must be non-Abelian and infinite in size, so i thought of matrix but i don't have concrete example

          Take $langle x,y | x^2=y^2=1rangle$.

            I think the above answer is better, but here's one too. Take the infinite dihedral group. It's generated by reflections (which are torsion elts).
