{{menu|events|On the limits in the space of marked groups}}

Talk held by Goulnara Arzhantseva (Mathematics, University of Vienna, Austria) at the KGRC [[Friday seminar]] on 2012‑04‑20.

===Abstract===
The space of marked groups provides a natural topological framework for
studying the class of finitely generated groups as a whole (as an alternative to the
investigation of specific classes, e.g. solvable groups). It plays a crucial role, for
instance, in Gromov’s proof of the polynomial growth theorem and in Grigorchuk’s
construction of, for any prime ''p'', an uncountable family of 2-generated torsion ''p''-groups
with different types of intermediate growth. In this talk, we will focus on the
amenability of the limit groups in this space.
