In this paper, we study discrete harmonic functions on infinite penny graphs. For an infinite penny graph with bounded facial degree, we prove that the volume doubling property and the Poincar\'e inequality hold, which yields the Harnack…

For a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, we show that bounded biharmonic functions are constant and the space consists of biharmonic functions with polynomial growth of a fixed rate is finite…

In this paper, we consider the conjugacy growth function of a group, which counts the number of conjugacy classes which intersect a ball of radius $n$ centered at the identity. We prove that in the case of virtually polycyclic groups, this…

Gromov claimed, with a sketch of proof, that simply connected nilpotent Lie groups have polynomially bounded filling invariants. The literature establishes this, often with a stronger conclusion where the exponent of polynomiality is…

We consider space functions $s(n)$ of finitely presented groups $G =< A\mid R> .$ (These functions have a natural geometric analog.) To define $s(n)$ we start with a word $w$ over $A$ of length at most $n$ equal to 1 in $G$ and use…

Let ${\sf G}$ be a locally compact group with polynomial growth of order $d$, a polynomial weight $\nu$ on ${\sf G}$ and a Fell bundle $\mathscr C\overset{q}{\to}{\sf G}$. We study the Banach $^*$-algebras $L^1({\sf G}\,\vert\,\mathscr C)$…

Suppose $(M^{n},g)$ is a Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, and let $h_{d}(M)$ be the dimension of the space of harmonic functions with polynomial growth of growth order at most $d$. Colding and Minicozzi proved that…

We study completions of the group algebra of a finitely generated group and relate nuclearity of such a completion to growth properties of the group. This extends previous work of Jolissaint on nuclearity of rapidly decreasing functions on…

We show that every non-decreasing function $f\colon \mathbb N\to \mathbb N$ bounded from above by $a^n$ for some $a\ge 1$ can be realized (up to a natural equivalence) as the conjugacy growth function of a finitely generated group. We also…

Gromov's theorem states that a finitely generated group has polynomial growth if and only if it is virtually nilpotent. A key ingredient in its proof is the small doubling property. In this work, we study entropy analogues of this property…

Full residual finiteness growth of a finitely generated group $G$ measures how efficiently word metric $n$-balls of $G$ inject into finite quotients of $G$. We initiate a study of this growth over the class of nilpotent groups. When the…
