Higher isoperimetric inequalities for complexes and groups

Tuesday November 6, 2007

10:30AM - 11:20AM

Speakers:
Panagiotis Papazoglou

Abstract:

Gromov showed that if a complex satisfies a subquadratic isoperimetric inequality then it satisfies a linear one. We show that a similar theorem holds for the 2nd isoperimetric inequality provided that the 2-cycles that maximize filling volume are spheres, or, more generally, surfaces of uniformly bounded genus.
