Guba–Sapir conjecture on superadditivity of Dehn functions

About 6 years old · traced to

Let GG be a finitely presented group. A function is superadditive if f(m+n)≥f(m)+f(n)f(m+n)\geq f(m)+f(n) for all nonnegative integers m,nm,n. Write f≃gf\simeq g when the two functions are equivalent up to the standard Dehn-function comparison. Guba–Sapir conjecture. The Dehn function of GG is ≃\simeq equivalent to a superadditive function. The analogous question remains open for the abelianised Dehn function; Guba and Sapir noted that failure of the conjecture could indicate a problem with the definition of Dehn function.
