Let $T^2$ be a 2-torus and $f:T^2\rightarrow T^2$ a smooth map. Let $f_*:\pi_1(T^2)\rightarrow\pi_1(T^2)$ be the induced map on the fundamental group $\pi_1$. If $f_*$ has no eigenvalue greater than 1, then all balls of $T^2$ have subexponential growth by $ f $. Why?

    $\begingroup$ What makes you think this is true? Also what do you mean by a ball having subexponential growth? $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 10, 2014 at 20:23
  • $\begingroup$ This statement is in a paper. Let $B\subset T^2$ be a ball, $B$ have subexponential growth by $f$ If $Vol(f^n(B))<\lambda^nVol(B)$, $\forall\lambda>1$. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 10, 2014 at 21:03

You should check out the paper of R. Bowen: ENTROPY FOR GROUP ENDOMORPHISMS AND HOMOGENEOUS SPACES (Transactions of the AMS, 1971)
