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 onto a free abelian group. These improve and generalise previous results by Carter and Forester on Dehn functions of level sets in products of simply connected cube complexes, by Bridson on Dehn functions of cocyclic groups and by Dison on Dehn functions of coabelian groups. We then provide several…

A subgroup of a direct product of free groups whose Dehn function has a cubic lower bound
Abstract We establish a cubic lower bound on the Dehn function of a certain finitely presented subgroup of a direct product of three free groups.
Residually free groups do not admit a uniform polynomial isoperimetric function
We show that there is no uniform polynomial isoperimetric function for finitely presented subgroups of direct products of free groups, by producing a sequence of subgroups $G_r\leq F_2^{(1)} \times…
Identifying Dehn functions of Bestvina–Brady groups from their defining graphs
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…
Homological Dehn functions of groups of type $FP_2$.
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…
Cone-equivalent nilpotent groups with different Dehn functions
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…

Abstract We describe a doubling construction that gives many new examples of groups that satisfy a quadratic isoperimetric inequality. Using this construction, we prove that the presence of a…
