TITLE: Does $C'\left(\frac{5}{11}\right)$ imply exponential growth?
QUESTION [5 upvotes]: I came across this rather week small cancellation condition $C'\left(\frac{5}{11}\right)$ of a group $G$. It has been proved that $C'\left(\frac16\right)$ is enough for $G$ to contain free subgroups. I was therefore wondering if $\frac{5}{11}$ is maybe enough to still have exponential growth. 
Does anyone know of any related papers or results?

REPLY [11 votes]: Every finitely presented group has presentation satisfying $C'(1/5)$. Note that $1/5 < 5/11$. See the book by Olshanskii's book "Geometry of defining relations of groups".
