9 Filling invariants as geometric group invariants If X and Y are bilipschitz equivalent, then there is a C > 0 such that FV n X (C 1 V ) FV n Y (V ) FVn X (CV ).
10 Filling invariants as geometric group invariants If X and Y are bilipschitz equivalent, then there is a C > 0 such that FV n X (C 1 V ) FV n Y (V ) FVn X (CV ). Theorem (Gromov, Epstein-Cannon-Holt-Levy-Paterson-Thurston) If X and Y are quasi-isometric and are, for instance, manifolds with bounded curvature or simplicial complexes with bounded degree, then FV n X and FVn Y are the same up to constants.
11 Filling invariants as geometric group invariants If X and Y are bilipschitz equivalent, then there is a C > 0 such that FV n X (C 1 V ) FV n Y (V ) FVn X (CV ). Theorem (Gromov, Epstein-Cannon-Holt-Levy-Paterson-Thurston) If X and Y are quasi-isometric and are, for instance, manifolds with bounded curvature or simplicial complexes with bounded degree, then FV n X and FVn Y are the same up to constants. In particular, if G is a group acting geometrically on an n connected space X, we can define FV n G = FVn X (up to constants).
12 Examples: negative curvature Small FV 2 is equivalent to negative curvature. If X has pinched negative curvature, then we can fill curves using geodesics. These discs have area linear in the length of their boundary, so FV 2 (n) n.
13 Examples: negative curvature Small FV 2 is equivalent to negative curvature. If X has pinched negative curvature, then we can fill curves using geodesics. These discs have area linear in the length of their boundary, so FV 2 (n) n. In fact, G is a group with sub-quadratic Dehn function (FV 2 n 2 ) if and only if G is δ-hyperbolic (Gromov).
14 Examples: nonpositive curvature and quadratic bounds Nonpositive curvature implies quadratic Dehn function: If X has nonpositive curvature, we can fill curves with geodesics, but the discs may have quadratically large area.
15 Examples: nonpositive curvature and quadratic bounds Nonpositive curvature implies quadratic Dehn function: If X has nonpositive curvature, we can fill curves with geodesics, but the discs may have quadratically large area. But the class of groups with quadratic Dehn functions is extremely rich; it includes Thompson s group (Guba), many solvable groups (Leuzinger-Pittet, de Cornulier-Tessera), some nilpotent groups (Gromov, Sapir-Ol shanskii, others), lattices in symmetric spaces (Druţu, Y., Cohen, others), and many more.
16 Examples: higher dimensions (Lang, Bonk-Schramm) If G is δ-hyperbolic, then FV n X (V ) V for all n.
17 Examples: higher dimensions (Lang, Bonk-Schramm) If G is δ-hyperbolic, then FV n X (V ) V for all n. (Gromov, Wenger) If X is complete and nonpositively curved, then FV n n X (V ) V n 1 for all n.

25 Larger ranks In general, Sol 2k 1 (H 2 ) k
26 Larger ranks In general, Sol 2k 1 (H 2 ) k i.e., Sol 2k 1 is a subset of a symmetric space of rank k
27 Larger ranks In general, Sol 2k 1 (H 2 ) k i.e., Sol 2k 1 is a subset of a symmetric space of rank k So Sol 2k 1 contains (k 1)-spheres (intersections with flats) with exponentially large filling area (Gromov)
28 Larger ranks In general, Sol 2k 1 (H 2 ) k i.e., Sol 2k 1 is a subset of a symmetric space of rank k So Sol 2k 1 contains (k 1)-spheres (intersections with flats) with exponentially large filling area (Gromov) But there are plenty of lower-dimensional surfaces to fill lower-dimensional spheres, so FV n (V ) V n n 1 when n < k (Y.)

36 Lattices act on subsets of X If Γ is a nonuniform lattice, the quotient Γ\X has cusps. Cutting out the cusps corresponds to cutting out horoballs in X. Lemma If Γ is a nonuniform lattice, then there is an r 0 such that for r r 0, Γ acts geometrically on a set X (r) X such that X (r) is contractible and approximates the r neighborhood of Γ. We can write X (r) = X \ i H i, where the H i are a collection of horoballs in X.
