“Gromov’s Theorem: Part II”

We'll continue our look at Gromov's theorem and consider the case of solvable groups. In particular, we will begin the proof that a finitely generated solvable group of polynomially bounded growth is nilpotent-by-finite. It is again my hope that the lecture will be accessible to a general audience.
