We prove that Thompson's group $T$ and, more generally, all the Higman-Thompson groups $T_n$ have quadratic Dehn function.

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 $\Phi_T(n)\preceq n^5$.

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…

This is the first of two papers devoted to connections between asymptotic functions of groups and computational complexity. One of the main results of this paper states that if for every $m$ the first $m$ digits of a real number $\alpha\ge…

For an amalgam of two free groups and a particular kind of automorphism, we show that the Dehn function of the corresponding mapping torus is quadratic.

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 show that the Stallings-Bieri groups, along with certain other Bestvina-Brady groups, have quadratic Dehn function.

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,…

We prove that R. Thompson groups F, T, V have linear divergence functions.

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 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 prove that $n^{7/3}$ is an isoperimetric function for a group of Stallings that is finitely presented but not of type $\mathcal{F}_3$. Note: The authors with Robert Young have now proved a quadratic Dehn function for this group. See…

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…

The Dehn function measures the area of minimal discs that fill closed curves in a space; it is an important invariant in analysis, geometry, and geometric group theory. There are several equivalent ways to define the Dehn function, varying…

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,…

The goal of this paper is to construct quasi-isometrically embedded subgroups of Thompson's group $F$ which are isomorphic to $\fz^n$ for all $n$. A result estimating the norm of an element of Thompson's group is found. As a corollary,…

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…

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…

We prove that Abels' group over an arbitrary nondiscrete locally compact field has a quadratic Dehn function. As applications, we exhibit connected Lie groups and polycyclic groups whose asymptotic cones have uncountable abelian fundamental…
