Title: Effective rank-rigidity and uniform exponential growth.
Abstract: Let G be a finitely generated group which contains a free subgroup. Gromov asked whether there is an integer m such that for any finite generating set S for G, one can find a pair of elements g,h in G whose length is bounded above by m and which generate a free subgroup. I will discuss some results in that direction.
