CHARACTER THEORY OF SYMMETRIC GROUPS AND SUBGROUP GROWTH OF SURFACE GROUPS

Results from the character theory of symmetric groups are used to obtain an asymptotic estimate for the subgroup growth of fundamental groups of closed 2-manifolds. The main result implies an armative answer, for the class of groups investigated, to a question of Lubotzky's concerning the relat...
