Abstract

We prove a Filling Theorem for the Heisenberg Groups H2n+1H^{2n+1}: For a given kk-cycle aa we construct a (k+1)(k+1)-chain bb (the filling) with boundary b=a\partial b=a and controlled volume. For this filling bb we prove a uniform bound on the distance of points in bb to its boundary aa. Using this we compute the higher divergence functions for the Heisenberg Groups H2n+1H^{2n+1}. Further we generalise these results to the Jet-Groups Jm(Rn)J^m(\mathbb R^n) for dimension less or equal nn .
