This property makes sense for infinite groups. For finite groups, it is always true

Definition

For an infinite group , let denote the number of subgroups of index at most in . Then, is said to be a PSG-group, or is said to have Polynomial Subgroup Growth if is bounded from above by a polynomial function of .
