Event description: 

I will try to give a comprehensive talk explaining the ideas of the proof of Eskin Mozes and Oh for uniform exponential grwoth for non virtually solvable finitely generated linear groups, and the analog result for solvable non virtually nilpotent groups. I will also try to explain why in the “anistropic” case, this result could be generalized to an effective version of Tits theorem.
