Milnor's TheoremIf a Compact Manifold has Nonnegative Ricci Curvature, then its Fundamental Group has at mostPolynomial growth. On the other hand, if has Negative curvature, then its Fundamental Group hasexponential growth in the sense that grows exponentially, where is (essentially) the number ofdifferent ``words'' of length which can be made in the Fundamental Group.
