We prove that the Dehn function of a group of Stallings that is finitely presented but not of type F_3 is quadratic. To appear in Geometric and Functional Analysis.

V.S.Guba had proved that the R.Thompson group $T$ satisfies polynomial isoperimetric inequality and $\Phi_T(n)\preceq n^7$, where $\Phi_T$ is the Dehn function of group $T$. In this paper, we show that $\Phi_T(n)\preceq n^5$.
We prove that the Bridson-Dison group has quartic Dehn function, thereby providing the first precise computation of the Dehn function of a subgroup of a direct product of free groups with super-quadratic Dehn function. We also prove that…

We construct a finitely presented group $G$ with non-quadratic Dehn function $f$ majorizable by a quadratic function on arbitrary long intervals.
We prove that groups in a certain class of metabelian locally compact groups, have quadratic Dehn function. As an application, we embed the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups into finitely presented metabelian groups with quadratic Dehn…
Baumslag's group is a finitely presented metabelian group with a Z \wr Z subgroup. There is an analogue with an additional torsion relation in which this subgroup becomes C_m \wr Z. We prove that Baumslag's group has an exponential Dehn…
We show that the Dehn function of the handlebody group is exponential in any genus $g\geq 3$. On the other hand, we show that the handlebody group of genus $2$ is cubical, biautomatic, and therefore has a quadratic Dehn function.
We construct the first examples of finitely presented groups with quadratic Dehn function containing a finitely generated infinite torsion subgroup. These examples are "optimal" in the sense that the Dehn function of any such finitely…
We prove Thompson's group $F$ has quadratic conjugator length function. That is, for any two conjugate elements of $F$ of length $n$ or less, there exists an element of $F$ of length $O(n^2)$ that conjugates one to the other. Moreover,…
On the one hand, it is well known that the only subquadratic Dehn function of finitely presented groups is the linear one. On the other hand there is a huge class of Dehn functions $d(n)$ with growth at least $n^4$ (essentially all possible…
It is known that there is no finitely presented group for which the Dehn function lies asymptotically strictly between linear and quadratic functions. This work presents an example of a semigroup that has Dehn function equivalent to $n \log…
We address the problem of which functions can arise as Dehn functions of K\"ahler groups. We explain why there are examples of K\"ahler groups with linear, quadratic, and exponential Dehn function. We then proceed to show that there is an…
In this note, we study the notion of random Dehn function and compute an asymptotic upper bound for finitely presented acylindrically hyperbolic groups whose Dehn function is at most polynomial. By showing that in these cases, if the group…
In this note, we initiate the concept of Dehn functions for a family of finite groups. We investigate the Dehn function for some specific families of finite polycyclic groups. We also consider related notions of spherical Dehn function and…
In this paper it is proved that if a finitely presented group acts properly discontinuously, cocompactly and by isometries on a simply connected Riemannian manifold, then the two Dehn functions, of the group and the manifold, respectively,…
Gromov conjectured that any irreducible lattice in a symmetric space of rank at least 3 should have at most polynomial Dehn function. We prove that the lattice Sp(2p;Z) has quadratic Dehn function when p is at least 5. By results of…
