Abstract


We shall use proof mining techniques in order to obtain finitary versions with effective bounds of some important results in metric analysis, geometric group theory (Gromov's theorem on groups with polynomial growth, approximate groups) and ergodic Ramsey theory. Proof mining is a new paradigm of research, with researchers working at different universities in Europe and USA. The program of proof mining is concerned with the extraction of hidden finitary and combinatorial content, such as algorithms and effective bounds, from proofs that make use of highly infinitary principles. This research direction can be related to Terence Tao's proposal of "hard analysis", based on finitary arguments, instead of the infinitary ones from "soft analysis".
