== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Geometric Group Theory (GGT)''' β Studying groups through their actions on geometric spaces. * '''Group''' β A set of elements with an operation (like addition) that follows specific rules. * '''Cayley Graph''' β A visual "map" of a group where elements are points and operations are connecting lines. * '''Hyperbolic Group''' β A group whose Cayley graph "looks like" hyperbolic (curved) space. * '''Word Metric''' β Measuring the distance between two elements by the number of steps needed to get from one to the other. * '''Quasi-Isometry''' β A way of saying two shapes look the same from "far away," even if they are different up close. * '''Action''' β When a group "moves" or "transforms" a space (e.g., rotating a square). * '''Mikhail Gromov''' β The founder of modern GGT who introduced the idea of "Hyperbolic Groups." * '''Free Group''' β A group with no "loops"βits map looks like a tree that branches infinitely. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
