We can prove these results only under some additional assumptions. Namely, we can prove the statements that the Thompson group F and some solvable groups of class 3 have exponential dimension growth as- suming exponential control (i.e. exponential bounds on the sizes of λ-clusters). The result that every solvable finitely generated subgroup of F has polynomial dimension growth is true, though the argu- ment presented in the paper had to be modified. Detailed proofs can be found in a revised version of the paper in the arXiv (see [DS1]). In this erratum, we give the main definitions and formulations from the revised version. We also list wrong and unproved statements from the original paper. DOI of original article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jalgebra.2011.09.004. * Corresponding author.
