Tarski monster group

In the area of modern algebra known as group theory, a Tarski monster group, named for Alfred Tarski, is an infinite group G, such that every proper subgroup H of G, other than the identity subgroup, is a cyclic group of order a fixed prime number p. A Tarski monster group is necessarily simple. It was shown by Alexander Yu. Olshanskii in 1979 that Tarski groups exist, and that there is a Tarski p-group for every prime p > 1075. They are a source of counterexamples to conjectures in group theory, most importantly to Burnside's problem and the von Neumann conjecture. (Wikipedia).

Mark Sapir - The Tarski numbers of groups.

Mark Sapir (Vanderbilt University, USA) The Tarski number of a non-amenable group is the minimal number of pieces in a paradoxical decomposition of the group. It is known that a group has Tarski number 4 if and only if it contains a free non-cyclic subgroup, and the Tarski numbers of tors
