  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 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. 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

  6. 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 .

  7. Tits alternative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tits_alternative

    A linear group is not amenable if and only if it contains a non-abelian free group (thus the von Neumann conjecture, while not true in general, holds for linear groups). 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 ...

  8. Haagerup property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haagerup_property

    In mathematics, the Haagerup property, named after Uffe Haagerup and also known as Gromov's a-T-menability, is a property of groups that is a strong negation of Kazhdan's property (T). Property (T) is considered a representation-theoretic form of rigidity, so the Haagerup property may be considered a form of strong nonrigidity; see below for ...
