Compression functions of uniform embeddings of groups into Hilbert and Banach spaces

We construct finitely generated groups with arbitrary prescribed Hilbert space compression \alpha from the interval [0,1]. For a large class of Banach spaces E (including all uniformly convex Banach spaces), the E-compression of these groups coincides with their Hilbert space compression. Moreover,...
