On uniform exponential growth for solvable groups

Abstract

Using a theorem of J. Groves we give a ping-pong proof of Osin's uniform exponential growth for solvable groups. We discuss slow exponential growth and show that this phenomenon disappears as one passes to a finite index subgroup.

minor changes: the connection with the Lehmer conjecture is explicited
