The Dehn Function of PSL(2,Z[1/p])

Group Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We show that PSL(2,Z[1/p]) admits a combing with bounded asynchronous width, and use this combing to show that PSL(2,Z[1/p]) has an exponential Dehn function. As a corollary, PSL(2,Z[1/p]) has solvable word problem and is not an automatic group.
