Grigorchuk group

In the mathematical area of group theory, the Grigorchuk group or the first Grigorchuk group is a finitely generated group constructed by Rostislav Grigorchuk that provided the first example of a finitely generated group of intermediate (that is, faster than polynomial but slower than exponential) growth. The group was originally constructed by Grigorchuk in a 1980 paper and he then proved in a 1984 paper that this group has intermediate growth, thus providing an answer to an important open problem posed by John Milnor in 1968. The Grigorchuk group remains a key object of study in geometric group theory, particularly in the study of the so-called branch groups and automata groups, and it has important connections with the theory of iterated monodromy groups.

Alexander Olshanskii - Relative growth of subgroups in finitely generated groups

Alexander Olshanskii (Vanderbilt University, USA and Moscow State University, Russia) Let $H$ be a subgroup of a finitely generated group $G$. The (relative) growth function $f(n)$ of $H$ with respect to a finite set $A$ generating $G$, is given by the formula $f(n) = card \{g\in H;

Nekrashevych: Constructing simple groups using dynamical systems

We will show how minimal dynamical systems and etale groupoids can be used to construct finitely generated simple groups with prescribed properties. For example, one can show that there are uncountably many different growth types (in particular quasi-isometry classes) among finitely genera
