Abstract Shalom and Tao showed that a polynomial upper bound on the size of a single, large enough ball in a Cayley graph implies that the underlying group has a nilpotent subgroup with index and degree of polynomial growth both bounded effectively. The third and fourth authors proved the optimal bound on the degree of polynomial growth of this subgroup, at the expense of making some other parts of the result ineffective. In the present paper, we prove the optimal bound on the degree of…

Schramm’s Locality Conjecture asserts that the value of the critical percolation parameter p c of a graph satisfying p c < 1 depends only on its local structure. In this note, we prove this

We show that for some absolute (explicit) constant C, the following holds for every finitely generated group G, and all d > 0: If there is someR0 > exp(exp(CdC)) for which the number of elements in a
Finite linear groups and theorems of Minkowski and Schur
Let G be a finite group with a faithful rational valued character of degree n. A theorem of I. Schur gives a bound for the order of G in terms of n, generalizing an earlier result of H. Minkowski who

Abstract. This paper considers growth series of 2-step nilpotent groups with infinite cyclic derived subgroup. Every such group G has a subgroup of finite index of the form Hn×ℤm, where Hn is the

The Degree of Polynomial Growth of Finitely Generated Nilpotent Groups
It will be convenient to say that a group G virtually has a property P if some subgroup of finite index has property P. Thus the theorem above concludes that 'G is virtually nilpotent'. (This

We show that an arbitrary nilprogression can be approximated by a proper coset nilprogression in upper-triangular form. This can be thought of as a nilpotent version of Bilu's result that a

We give a new 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 MontgomeryZippin-Yamabe structure
