Degrees of Growth of Finitely Generated Groups, and the Theory of Invariant Means

TL;DR: In this article, a negative solution to the problem of Milnor concerning the degrees of growth of groups was given, which also answers a question of Day concerning amenable groups and a number of other results are obtained on residually finite finitely generated infinite 2-groups.

TL;DR: Theorem 1.1 Theorem 2.1 as mentioned in this paper Theorem 3.2 Theorem 4.3 Theorem 5.1: For any group H, the least integer n such that X can be covered by open sets UO, * * *, Un such that each Ui is contractible in X, if no such integer exists then cat X = oo.
