英文摘要：

This paper considers affine analogues of the isoperimetric inequality in the sense of piecewise linear topology. Given a closed polygon P embedded in R^d having n edges, we give upper and lower bounds for the minimal number of triangles needed to forma triangulated embedded orientable surface in R^d having P as its geometric boundary. The most interesting case is dimension dimension 3, where we give an upper bound of 7 n^2 triangles, and a lower bound for some polygons P that require at least 1/2 n^2 triangles. In dimension 2 and dimensions 5 and above one needs only O(n) triangles. The case of dimension 4 is not completely resolved.

Hypersurfaces, Geodesics and Isoperimetric Inequalities in Cartan-Hadamard Manifolds

We prove an inequality for submanifolds of Cartan-Hadamard manifolds, which relates the geometry of a submanifold to the measure of the geodesics in the ambient space which it intersects. For hypersurfaces, this gives an extension of Banchoff and Pohl's isoperimetric inequality to spaces of non-positive curvature. We also prove a modified version of Croke's isoperimetric inequality for hypersurfaces immersed in Cartan-Hadamard manifolds and a sharp, quantitative version of an isoperimetric inequality of Yau in spaces of negative curvature. We discuss the relationship between these results, and…

Cheeger constants of surfaces and isoperimetric inequalities

We show that the Cheeger constant of compact surfaces is bounded by a function of the area. We apply this to isoperimetric profiles of bounded genus non-compact surfaces, to show that if their isoperimetric profile grows faster than $\sqrt t$, then it grows at least as fast as a linear function. This generalizes a result of Gromov for simply connected surfaces. We study the isoperimetric problem in dimension 3. We show that if the filling volume function in dimension 2 is Euclidean, while in dimension 3 is sub-Euclidean and there is a $g$ such that minimizers in dimension 3 have genus at most …

Isoperimetric Inequalities and topological overlapping for quotients of Affine buildings

Isoperimetric inequalities for Poincaré duality groups

We show that every oriented $n$-dimensional Poincaré duality group over a $*$-ring $R$ is amenable or satisfies a linear homological isoperimetric inequality in dimension $n-1$. As an application, we prove the Tits alternative for such groups when $n=2$. We then deduce a new proof of the fact that when $n=2$ and $R = \mathbb Z$ then the group in question is a surface group.

Isoperimetric Inequalities using Varopoulos Transport

The main results in this paper provide upper bounds of the second order Dehn functions for three-dimensional groups Nil and Sol. These upper bounds are obtained by using the Varopoulos transport argument on dual graphs. The first step is to start with reduced handlebody diagrams of the three-dimensional balls either immersed or embedded in the universal covers of each group and then define dual graphs using the 0-handles as vertices, 1-handles as edges. The idea is to reduce the original isoperimetric problem involving volume of three-dimensional balls and areas of their boundary spheres to a …

Isoperimetric Inequalities for Ramanujan Complexes and Topological Expanders

Expander graphs have been intensively studied in the last four decades. In recent years a high dimensional theory of expanders has emerged, and several variants have been studied. Among them stand out coboundary expansion and topological expansion. It is known that for every $d$ there are unbounded degree simplicial complexes of dimension $d$ with these properties. However, a major open problem, formulated by Gromov, is whether bounded degree high dimensional expanders exist for $d \geq 2$. We present an explicit construction of bounded degree complexes of dimension $d=2$ which are topological…

A note on fine graphs and homological isoperimetric inequalities

In the framework of homological characterizations of relative hyperbolicity, Groves and Manning posed the question of whether a simply connected $2$-complex $X$ with a linear homological isoperimetric inequality, a bound on the length of attaching maps of $2$-cells and finitely many $2$-cells adjacent to any edge must have a fine $1$-skeleton. We provide a positive answer to this question. We revisit a homological characterization of relative hyperbolicity, and show that a group $G$ is hyperbolic relative to a collection of subgroups $\mathcal P$ if and only if $G$ acts cocompactly with finite…
