摘要：

We study the growth of the rank of subgroups of finite index in residually finite groups, by relating it to the notion of cost. As a by-product, we show that the 'rank vs. Heegaard genus' conjecture on hyperbolic 3-manifolds is incompatible with the 'fixed price problem' in topological dynamics.
