  2. Gromov's theorem on groups of polynomial growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gromov's_theorem_on_groups...

    A relatively simple proof of the theorem was found by Bruce Kleiner. [5] Later, Terence Tao and Yehuda Shalom modified Kleiner's proof to make an essentially elementary proof as well as a version of the theorem with explicit bounds. [6] [7] Gromov's theorem also follows from the classification of approximate groups obtained by Breuillard, Green ...

  3. Non-squeezing theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-squeezing_theorem

    The non-squeezing theorem, also called Gromov's non-squeezing theorem, is one of the most important theorems in symplectic geometry. [1] It was first proven in 1985 by Mikhail Gromov. [2] The theorem states that one cannot embed a ball into a cylinder via a symplectic map unless the radius of the ball is less than or equal to the radius of the ...

  4. Gromov's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gromov's_theorem

    Gromov's theorem may mean one of a number of results of Mikhail Gromov: One of Gromov's compactness theorems: Gromov's compactness theorem (geometry) in Riemannian geometry; Gromov's compactness theorem (topology) in symplectic topology; Gromov's Betti number theorem Gromov–Ruh theorem on almost flat manifolds

  5. Hyperbolic group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_group

    In group theory, more precisely in geometric group theory, a hyperbolic group, also known as a word hyperbolic group or Gromov hyperbolic group, is a finitely generated group equipped with a word metric satisfying certain properties abstracted from classical hyperbolic geometry.

  6. Yakov Eliashberg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakov_Eliashberg

    This fundamental result, proved also in a different way by Gromov, [27] is now called the Eliashberg-Gromov theorem, and is one of the first manifestations of symplectic rigidity. In 1990 he discovered a complete topological characterization of Stein manifolds of complex dimension greater than 2.

  7. Geometric group theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_group_theory

    Geometric group theory grew out of combinatorial group theory that largely studied properties of discrete groups via analyzing group presentations, which describe groups as quotients of free groups; this field was first systematically studied by Walther von Dyck, student of Felix Klein, in the early 1880s, [2] while an early form is found in the 1856 icosian calculus of William Rowan Hamilton ...

  8. Bishop–Gromov inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishop–Gromov_inequality

    In mathematics, the Bishop–Gromov inequality is a comparison theorem in Riemannian geometry, named after Richard L. Bishop and Mikhail Gromov. It is closely related to Myers' theorem , and is the key point in the proof of Gromov's compactness theorem .

  9. Gromov's compactness theorem (topology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gromov's_compactness...

    In the mathematical field of symplectic topology, Gromov's compactness theorem states that a sequence of pseudoholomorphic curves in an almost complex manifold with a uniform energy bound must have a subsequence which limits to a pseudoholomorphic curve which may have nodes or (a finite tree of) "bubbles". A bubble is a holomorphic sphere which ...
