For every $k\geqslant 3$, we exhibit a simply connected $k$-nilpotent Lie group $N_k$ whose Dehn function behaves like $n^k$, while the Dehn function of its associated Carnot graded group behaves like $n^{k+1}$. This property and its consequences allow us to reveal three new phenomena. First, since those groups have uniform lattices, this provides the first examples of pairs of finitely presented groups with bilipschitz asymptotic cones but with different Dehn functions. The second surprising…

It is a central prediction of renormalization group theory that the critical behaviours of many statistical mechanics models on Euclidean lattices depend only on the dimension and not on the specific
Dehn functions of coabelian subgroups of direct products of groups
• Mathematics

We develop new methods for computing the precise Dehn functions of coabelian subgroups of direct products of groups, that is, subgroups which arise as kernels of homomorphisms from the direct product

We discuss the notion of sublinearly bilipschitz equivalences (SBE), which generalize quasi-isometries, allowing some additional terms that behave sublinearly with respect to the distance from the
Isoperimetric inequalities and the homology of groups

An isoperimetric function for a finitely presented group G bounds the number of defining relations needed to prove that a word w =G 1 in terms of the length of w. Suppose G = F/R is a finitely
Scaled relators and Dehn functions for nilpotent groups
A homogeneous nilpotent Lie group has a scaling automorphism determined by a grading of its Lie algebra. Many proofs of upper bounds for the Dehn function of such a group depend on being able to fill
On Dehn functions and products of groups
If G is a finitely presented group then its Dehn function ― or its isoperimetric inequality ― is of interest. For example, G satisfies a linear isoperimetric inequality iff G is negatively curved (or
An isoperimetric inequality for the Heisenberg groups
Abstract. We show that the Heisenberg groups $\cal {H}^{2n+1}$ of dimension five and higher, considered as Riemannian manifolds, satisfy a quadratic isoperimetric inequality. (This means that each
Geometry of Locally Compact Groups of Polynomial Growth and Shape of Large Balls
We get asymptotics for the volume of large balls in an arbitrary locally compact group G with polynomial growth. This is done via a study of the geometry of G and a generalization of P. Pansu's

Let FS be the (abstract) group freely generated by the set S (not taking G into account). Then there is an obvious natural morphism of FS onto G, mapping s ∈ S ⊂ FS to s ∈ S ⊂ G. Define G as

We prove that metabelian locally compact groups in a certain class have quadratic Dehn function. As an application, we embed the solvable Baumslag–Solitar groups in finitely presented metabelian
Asymptotic cones of Lie groups and cone equivalences
We introduce cone bilipschitz equivalences between metric spaces. These are maps, more general than quasi-isometries, that induce a bilipschitz homeomorphism between asymptotic cones. Non-trivial
