Isoperimetric functions for graph products

Group Theory 2008-02-03 v1

Abstract

Let Γ\Gamma be a finite graph, and for each vertex ii let GiG_i be a finitely presented group. Let GG be the graph product of the GiG_i. That is, GG is the group obtained from the free product of the GiG_i by factoring out by the smallest normal subgroup containing all [g,h][g,h] where gGig\in G_i and hGjh\in G_j and there is an edge joining i and j . We show that GG has an isoperimetric function of degree k2k\ge 2 (or an exponential isoperimetric function) if each vertex group has such an isoperimetric function.
