- 2022, Helmut Hofer, Alberto Abbondandolo, Urs Frauenfelder, Symplectic Geometry, page 64:
  If we postcompose the embedding ɩ with a dilation by a factor of t, the algebraic growth Γ will obviously not change but the group will be generated by loops of length λ(tɩL) = tλ (ɩL), implying that Γ_T(#P_g1( tɩ, T ) ) → ∞ as t→ 0.
