Title: Examples of simple groups of intermediate growth
Abstract: I will describe several explicit examples of simple groups of intermediate growth: groups associated with irrational rotations, a group acting on the Morse-Thue subshift, an embedding of the Grigorchuk group into a simple group of intermediate growth, etc.. Open questions and directions for future research will be also discussed.
