  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. Tits alternative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tits_alternative

    The Tits alternative is an important ingredient [2] in the proof of Gromov's theorem on groups of polynomial growth. In fact the alternative essentially establishes the result for linear groups (it reduces it to the case of solvable groups, which can be dealt with by elementary means).

  8. Growth rate (group theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_rate_(group_theory)

    This fact is a special case of the general theorem of Hyman Bass and Yves Guivarch that is discussed in the article on Gromov's theorem. The lamplighter group has an exponential growth. The existence of groups with intermediate growth, i.e. subexponential but not polynomial was open for many years.
