  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. 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

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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 ...

  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).

  7. 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 .

  8. Hyperbolic group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_group

    The Baumslag–Solitar groups B(m,n) and any group that contains a subgroup isomorphic to some B(m,n) fail to be hyperbolic (since B(1,1) = , this generalizes the previous example). A non-uniform lattice in a rank 1 simple Lie group is hyperbolic if and only if the group is isogenous to S L 2 ( R ) {\displaystyle \mathrm {SL} _{2}(\mathbb {R ...

  9. Growth rate (group theory) - Wikipedia

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

    In the mathematical subject of geometric group theory, the growth rate of a group with respect to a symmetric generating set describes how fast a group grows. Every element in the group can be written as a product of generators, and the growth rate counts the number of elements that can be written as a product of length n.
