Quantifying metric approximations of discrete groups
Residually finite groups were introduced as an approximation of infinite groups by finite ones. Two principal methods are commonly used to quantify such approximations: one focuses on counting the number of subgroups of a given finite index, while the other measures the minimal cardinality among all possible finite quotients that detect the algebraic structure of the fixed finite set of elements of the group.\N\NThe paper under review extends this second approach far beyond the class of residually finite groups by developing a general framework based on metric approximations. In particular, the authors introduce the concept of a \textit{metric profile}, a function that, given a finite set of group elements in the approximated group, returns the minimal dimension among all possible metric approximations that preserve the algebraic structure of that set. This construction generalizes classical notions such as the Følner function for amenable groups and more recent functions that quantify residual finiteness.
