The positive-power lower-bound conjecture for intermediate growth

At least 19 years old · documented by

Let GG be a group of intermediate growth, and let γG(n)\gamma_G(n) be its growth function. Write f(n)≽g(n)f(n)\succcurlyeq g(n) when ff is bounded below by gg up to the comparison convention used in the source.

Positive-power lower-bound conjecture. Then

γG(n)≽exp⁡(nα)\gamma_G(n)\succcurlyeq\exp(n^\alpha)

for some α>0\alpha>0.

Such a lower bound has been established for large classes of groups, but not in general; obtaining it for every group of intermediate growth remains open.
