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

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

    rank denotes the rank of an abelian group, i.e. the largest number of independent and torsion-free elements of the abelian group. In particular, Gromov's theorem and the Bass–Guivarc'h formula imply that the order of polynomial growth of a finitely generated group is always either an integer or infinity (excluding for example, fractional powers).

  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. 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 ...

  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. Growth rate (group theory) - Wikipedia

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

    The free abelian group has a polynomial growth rate of order d. The discrete Heisenberg group H 3 {\displaystyle H_{3}} has a polynomial growth rate of order 4. 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 .

  8. Pseudoholomorphic curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoholomorphic_curve

    Gromov used this theory to prove a non-squeezing theorem concerning symplectic embeddings of spheres into cylinders. Gromov showed that certain moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic curves (satisfying additional specified conditions) are compact , and described the way in which pseudoholomorphic curves can degenerate when only finite energy is ...
