| Sumario: | In this paper we provide a framework for the study of isoperimetric problems in finitely generated groups, through a combinatorial study of universal covers of compact simplicial complexes. We show that, when estimating filling functions, one can restrict to simplicial spheres of particular shapes, called “round” and “unfolded”, provided that a bounded quasi-geodesic combing exists. We prove that the problem of estimating higher dimensional divergence as well can be restricted to round spheres. Applications of these results include a combinatorial analogy of the Federer–Fleming inequality for finitely generated groups and the construction of examples of CAT(0)-groups with higher dimensional divergence equivalent to xd for every degree d [7]. |
