Group Theory 2019-10-18 v1

Abstract

The aim of this work is to show that on a locally compact, second countable, compactly generated group GG with polynomial growth and homogeneous dimension dhd_h, there exist a continuous, proper, negative definite function \ell with polynomial growth dimension dd_\ell arbitrary close to dhd_h.
