Golan and Sapir \cite{MR3978542} proved that the Thompson's groups $F$, $T$ and $V$ have linear divergence. In the current paper, we focus on the divergence properties of several generalisation of the Thompson's groups, we first consider…

We construct a finitely presented group with quadratic Dehn function and undecidable conjugacy problem. This solves E. Rips' problem formulated in 1992. v2: misprints corrected. v3: lemmas 4.7, 4.10 corrected, more misprints fixed.

We prove that if a finitely presented group acts properly discontinuously, cocompactly and by isometries on a simply connected Riemannian manifold, then the Dehn function of the group and the corresponding filling function of the manifold…

We prove that higher-dimensional Thompson's groups have linear divergence functions. By the work of Dru\c{t}u, Mozes, and Sapir, this implies none of the asymptotic cones of $nV$ has a cut-point.

We prove foundational results for homological Dehn functions of groups of type $FP_2$ such as superadditivity and the invariance under quasi-isometry. We then study the homological Dehn functions of Leary's groups $G_L(S)$ providing methods…

Thompson's groups, which are denoted by $F, T$ and $V$, were introduced by R. Thompson. It is known that they are related to various fields in mathematics. In this paper, we establish that Thompson's groups are regarded as subgroups of…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite simplicial graph such that the flag complex on $\Gamma$ is a $2$-dimensional triangulated disk. We show that with some assumptions, the Dehn function of the associated Bestvina--Brady group is either quadratic,…

We prove that when n >= 5, the Dehn function of SL(n;Z) is quadratic. The proof involves decomposing a disc in SL(n;R)/SO(n) into triangles of varying sizes. By mapping these triangles into SL(n;Z) and replacing large elementary matrices by…

In this paper we generalize techniques of Belk-Matucci to solve the conjugacy problem for every Thompson-like group $V_n(H)$, where $n \geq 2$ and $H$ is a subgroup of the symmetric group on $n$ elements. We use this to prove that, if $n…
