Quasi-isometry invariance of relative filling functions
Abstract
For a finitely generated group and collection of subgroups we prove that the relative Dehn function of a pair is invariant under quasi-isometry of pairs. Along the way we show quasi-isometries of pairs preserve almost malnormality of the collection and fineness of the associated coned off Cayley graphs. We also prove that for a cocompact simply connected combinatorial --complex with finite edge stabilisers, the combinatorial Dehn function is well-defined if and only if the -skeleton of is fine. We also show that if is a hyperbolically embedded subgroup of a finitely presented group , then the relative Dehn function of the pair is well-defined. In the appendix, it is shown that show that the Baumslag-Solitar group has a well-defined Dehn function with respect to the cyclic subgroup generated by the stable letter if and only if neither divides nor divides .
