"Margulis lemma" meaning in English

See Margulis lemma in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

Forms: the Margulis lemma [canonical]
Etymology: Named after Grigory Margulis. Head templates: {{en-prop|def=1}} the Margulis lemma
  1. (differential geometry) A result about discrete subgroups of isometries of a non-positively curved Riemannian manifold, stating roughly that, within a fixed radius (the Margulis constant), the structure of the orbits of such a group cannot be too complicated. More precisely, within this radius around a point all points in its orbit are in fact in the orbit of a nilpotent subgroup (in fact a bounded finite number of such).
