We study the growth of typical groups from the family of $p$-groups of intermediate growth constructed by the second author. We find that, in the sense of category, a generic group exhibits oscillating growth with no universal upper bound.…
For any finitely generated group $G$, two complexity functions $\alpha_G$ and $\beta_G$ are defined to measure the maximal possible gap between the norm of an automorphism (respectively outer automorphism) of $G$ and the norm of its…
We show that there exists a finitely generated group of growth ~f for all functions f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R} satisfying f(2R) \leq f(R)^{2} \leq f(\eta R) for all R large enough and \eta\approx2.4675 the positive root of…
In [K. Bou-Rabee, B. Seward, J. Reine Angwe. Math. 2016] Bou-Rabee and Seward constructed examples of finitely generated residually finite groups $G$ whose residual finiteness growth function $\mathcal{F}_G$ can be at least as fast as any…
We construct an uncountable family of finitely generated groups of intermediate growth, with growth functions of new type. These functions can have large oscillations between lower and upper bounds, both of which come from a wide class of…
For every $\alpha \in [1,2r-1]$, we show there exists a subgroup $H<F_r$ whose growth rate is $\alpha$.
A variety of behaviors of entropy functions of random walks on finitely generated groups is presented, showing that for any $\frac{1}{2}\leq \alpha\leq\beta\leq1$, there is a group $\Gamma$ with measure $\mu$ equidistributed on a finite…
We study the LEF growth function of a finitely generated LEF group $\Gamma$, which measures the orders of finite groups admitting local embeddings of balls in a word metric on $\Gamma$. We prove that any sufficiently smooth increasing…
For a positive constant $\alpha$ a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is called an $\alpha$-expander if every vertex set $U$ of size at most $n/2$ has an external neighborhood whose size is at least $\alpha\left|U\right|$. We study cycle lengths in…
Intersection growth concerns the asymptotic behavior of the index of the intersection of all subgroups of a group that have index at most n. In this note we show that the intersection growth of some groups may not be a nicely behaved…
In 1980 Rostislav Grigorchuk constructed a group $G$ of intermediate growth, and later obtained the following estimates on its growth function: $$e^{\sqrt{n}}\precsim\gamma(n)\precsim e^{n^\beta},$$ where $\beta=\log_{32}(31)\approx0.991$.…
Fixing a subgroup $\Gamma$ in a group $G$, the full commensurability growth function assigns to each $n$ the cardinality of the set of subgroups $\Delta$ of $G$ with $[\Gamma: \Gamma \cap \Delta][\Delta : \Gamma \cap \Delta] \leq n$. For…
In this paper we introduce some new methods to understand the analytic behaviour of the zeta function of a group. We can then combine this knowledge with suitable Tauberian theorems to deduce results about the growth of subgroups in a…
Assume that $g(t)\geq 0$, and $$\dot{g}(t)\leq -\gamma(t)g(t)+\alpha(t,g(t))+\beta(t),\ t\geq 0;\quad g(0)=g_0;\quad \dot{g}:=\frac{dg}{dt}, $$ on any interval $[0,T)$ on which $g$ exists and has bounded derivative from the right,…
For a residually finite group $G$, its normal subgroups $G\supset G_1\supset G_2\cdots$ with $\cap_{n\in\mathbb N}G_n=\{e\}$ and for a growth function $\gamma$ we construct a unitary representation $\pi_\gamma$ of $G$. For the minimal…
Given an abstract group $G$, we study the function $ab_n(G) := \sup_{|G:H| \leq n} |H/[H,H]|$. If $G$ has no abelian composition factors, then $ab_n(G)$ is bounded by a polynomial: as a consequence, we find a sharp upper bound for the…
For every $3/4\le \delta, \beta< 1$ satisfying $\delta\leq \beta < \frac{1+\delta}{2}$ we construct a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ and a (symmetric, finitely supported) random walk $X_n$ on $\Gamma$ so that its expected distance from…
We introduce a model in which city populations grow at rates proportional to the area of their "sphere of influence", where the influence of a city depends on its population (to power \alpha) and distance from city (to power -\beta) and…
We calculate exponential growth constants describing the asymptotic behavior of several quantities enumerating classes of orientations of arrow variables on the bonds of several types of directed lattice strip graphs $G$ of finite width and…
Given an orientation-preserving diffeomorphism of the interval [0;1], consider the uniform norm of the differential of its n-th iteration. We get a function of n called the growth sequence. Its asymptotic behaviour is an interesting…
