A New Proof of Gromov’s Theorem on Groups of Polynomial Growth
نویسنده
چکیده
We give a proof of Gromov’s theorem that any finitely generated group of polynomial growth has a finite index nilpotent subgroup. The proof does not rely on the Montgomery-ZippinYamabe structure theory of locally compact groups.

Notes on Kleiner’s Proof of Gromov’s Polynomial Growth Theorem
We present and explain Kleiner’s new proof of Gromov’s polynomial growth [Kle07] theorem which avoids the use of Montgomery-Zippin theory. We also stress the connection to Shalom’s property HFD. No originality is claimed. These notes have not yet been proofread or polished.
متن کاملA new proof for the Banach-Zarecki theorem: A light on integrability and continuity
To demonstrate more visibly the close relation between thecontinuity and integrability, a new proof for the Banach-Zareckitheorem is presented on the basis of the Radon-Nikodym theoremwhich emphasizes on measure-type properties of the Lebesgueintegral. The Banach-Zarecki theorem says that a real-valuedfunction $F$ is absolutely continuous on a finite closed intervalif and only if it is continuo...
متن کاملBranching Program Uniformization, Rewriting Lower Bounds, and Geometric Group Theory
Geometric group theory is the study of the relationship between the algebraic, geometric, and combinatorial properties of finitely generated groups. Here, we add to the dictionary of correspondences between geometric group theory and computational complexity. We then use these correspondences to establish limitations on certain models of computation. In particular, we establish a connection bet...
متن کاملAnother proof of Banaschewski's surjection theorem
We present a new proof of Banaschewski's theorem stating that the completion lift of a uniform surjection is a surjection. The new procedure allows to extend the fact (and, similarly, the related theorem on closed uniform sublocales of complete uniform frames) to quasi-uniformities ("not necessarily symmetric uniformities"). Further, we show how a (regular) Cauchy point on a closed uniform subl...
متن کاملSolvable Groups of Exponential Growth and Hnn Extensions
An extraordinary theorem of Gromov, [4], characterizes the finitely generated groups of polynomial growth; a group has polynomial growth iff it is nilpotent by finite. This theorem went a long way from its roots in the class of discrete subgroups of solvable Lie groups. Wolf, [11], proved that a polycyclic group of polynomial growth is nilpotent by finite. This theorem is primarily about linear...
