abstract
Verifying a conjecture of Gromov we establish a generalized Margulis Lemma for manifolds with lower Ricci curvature bound. Among the various applications are finiteness results for fundamental groups of compact $n$-manifolds with upper diameter and lower Ricci curvature bound modulo nilpotent normal subgroups.

Proves that nonnegative Ricci curvature manifolds with sublinear diameter growth in dimension n<12 have almost abelian fundamental groups via a bound n >= 4s(s-1)+k+1 on nilpotent subgroups of rank k and step s.
Establishes a D^{-3} lower bound on the fundamental gap for large horoconvex domains in hyperbolic space, matching a prior upper bound.
Slow relative volume growth on complete manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature implies almost abelian or finite fundamental groups.
