Abstract
How hard is it to fill a loop in a Cayley graph with an unoriented surface? Following a comment of Gromov in "Asymptotic invariants of infinite groups", we define homological filling functions of groups with coefficients in a group . Our main theorem is that the coefficients make a difference. That is, for every and every pair of coefficient groups , there is a group whose filling functions for -cycles with coefficients in and have different asymptotic behavior.
