  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. Gromov's compactness theorem (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    The role of this theorem in the theory of Gromov–Hausdorff convergence may be considered as analogous to the role of the Arzelà–Ascoli theorem in the theory of uniform convergence. [2] Gromov first formally introduced it in his 1981 resolution of the Milnor–Wolf conjecture in the field of geometric group theory , where he applied it to ...

  7. Mikhael Gromov (mathematician) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhael_Gromov_(mathematician)

    Following ideas of Edward Witten, Gromov's work is also fundamental for Gromov-Witten theory, which is a widely studied topic reaching into string theory, algebraic geometry, and symplectic geometry. [39] [40] [41] From a different perspective, Gromov's work was also inspirational for much of Andreas Floer's work. [42]

  8. Pseudoholomorphic curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoholomorphic_curve

    (The finite energy condition holds most notably for curves with a fixed homology class in a symplectic manifold where J is -tame or -compatible). This Gromov compactness theorem , now greatly generalized using stable maps , makes possible the definition of Gromov–Witten invariants, which count pseudoholomorphic curves in symplectic manifolds.

  9. 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 .
