On Dehn Functions of Infinite Presentations of Groups
We introduce two new types of Dehn functions of group presentations which seem more suitable (than the standard Dehn function) for infinite group presentations and prove the fundamental equivalence between the solvability of the word problem for a group presentation defined by a decidable set of defining words and the property of being computable for one of the newly introduced functions (this ...
متن کاملEquivalence of Geometric and Combinatorial Dehn Functions
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 of the manifold, respectively, are equivalent. 1. Dehn functions and their equivalence Let X be a simply connected 2-complex , and let w be an edge circuit in X. If D is a van Kampen di...
متن کاملEquivalence of Geometric and Combinatorial Dehn Functions 3
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 are equivalent, in a sense described below. 1. Dehn functions and their equivalence Let X be a simply connected 2-complex , and let w be an edge circuit in X....
متن کاملEditorial Manager(tm) for Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications Manuscript Draft Manuscript Number: Title: CAT(0) STRUCTURES AND SUSPENDED ALTERNATING LINKS
We consider complements of links in the suspension of an orientable surface S of genus g > 0, and show that their fundamental groups naturally admit presentations which are analogues of Dehn presentations of classical link complements. For certain links, we show that they admit canonical cubings of non-positive curvature, and that certain groups admitting Dehn-like presentations contain closed ...
متن کاملThe Mean Dehn Functions of Abelian Groups
While Dehn functions, D(n), of finitely presented groups are very well studied in the literature, mean Dehn functions are much less considered. M. Gromov introduced the notion of mean Dehn function of a group, Dmean(n), suggesting that in many cases it should grow much more slowly than the Dehn function itself. Using only elementary counting methods, this paper presents some computations pointi...
