Quasi-isometry invariance of higher-dimensional homological Dehn functions

Let GG and HH be groups of type FPn+1(R)FP_{n+1}(R), and let fnGf_n^G and fnHf_n^H denote their nn-dimensional homological Dehn functions over RR. Suppose that GG and HH are quasi-isometric.

Quasi-isometry invariance conjecture. Then

fnGfnH.f_n^G\approx f_n^H.

The preceding results establish the analogous invariance when the groups are of type FHn(R)FH_n(R). Since FP2(R)FP_2(R) is equivalent to FH2(R)FH_2(R) but the equivalence is unknown for n>2n>2, this conjecture addresses whether the homological Dehn function remains a quasi-isometry invariant under the weaker finiteness hypothesis FPn+1(R)FP_{n+1}(R).
