Group Theory

We construct a finitely presented non-amenable group without free non-cyclic
subgroups thus providing a finitely presented counterexample to von Neumann's
problem. Our group is an extension of a group of finite exponent n >> 1 by a
cyclic group, so it satisfies the identity [x,y]^n = 1.
