Uniform Growth in Groups of Exponential Growth
نویسنده
چکیده
This is an exposition of examples and classes of finitely-generated groups which have uniform exponential growth. The main examples are non-Abelian free groups, semi-direct products of free Abelian groups with automorphisms having an eigenvalue of modulus distinct from 1, and Golod–Shafarevich infinite finitely-generated p-groups. The classes include groups which virtually have non-Abelian free quotients, nonelementary hyperbolic groups, appropriate free products with amalgamation, HNN-extensions and one-relator groups, as well as soluble groups of exponential growth. Several open problems are formulated. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). 20F32.

Uniform growth of groups acting on Cartan-Hadamard spaces
We say that Γ has uniform exponential growth if Ent Γ > 0. In [11], remarque 5.12, M. Gromov raised the question whether exponential growth always implies uniform exponential growth. The answer is negative, indeed, in [14] J.S. Wilson gave examples of finitely generated groups of exponential growth and non uniform exponential growth. Nevertheless, exponential growth implies uniform exponential ...
متن کاملUniform Growth of Polycyclic Groups
The Milnor-Wolf Theorem characterizes the finitely generated solvable groups which have exponential growth; a finitely generated solvable group has exponential growth iff it is not virtually nilpotent. Wolf showed that a finitely generated nilpotent by finite group has polynomial growth; then extended this by proving that polycyclic groups which are not virtually nilpotent have expontial growth...
متن کاملOn Uniform Exponential Growth for Solvable Groups
We discuss free subsemigroups in solvable and elementary amenable groups improving earlier results of Milnor-Wolf, Rosenblatt, Alperin and Osin about uniform exponential growth for these groups.
متن کاملNotes on Uniform Exponential Growth and Tits Alternative
Remark 1.2. Uniform exponential growth for solvable non-virtually nilpotent groups was proved independently by Osin and byWilson. The existence of a uniform constant C(d) as in Theorem 1.1 for solvable groups is very striking since it implies the well known Lehmer conjecture concerning the Mahler measure of algebraic integers. However for virtually solvable non-virtually nilpotent groups we onl...
متن کاملA GROUP OF NON-UNIFORM EXPONENTIAL GROWTH LOCALLY ISOMORPHIC TO IMG(z + i)
We prove that a sequence of marked three-generated groups isomorphic to the iterated monodromy group of z2 + i converges to a group of non-uniform exponential growth, which is an extension of the infinite direct sum of cyclic groups of order 4 by a Grigorchuk group.
