Superexponential Dehn functions inside CAT(0) groups

Group Theory 2022-07-07 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

We construct 4-dimensional CAT(0) groups containing finitely presented subgroups whose Dehn functions are exp(n)(xm)\exp^{(n)}(x^m) for integers n,m1n, m \geq 1 and 6-dimensional CAT(0) groups containing finitely presented subgroups whose Dehn functions are exp(n)(xα)\exp^{(n)}(x^\alpha) for integers n1n \geq 1 and α\alpha dense in [1,)[1,\infty). This significantly expands the known geometric behavior of subgroups of CAT(0) groups.
