Bader–Kropholler–Vankov's quasi-isometry invariance conjecture for homological filling functions

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let GG and HH be quasi-isometric groups of type \FPn(R)\FP_n(R), where RR is an arbitrary coefficient ring. Write FV⁡R,Gn\operatorname{FV}_{R,G}^{n} and FV⁡R,Hn\operatorname{FV}_{R,H}^{n} for their homological filling functions with coefficients in RR, and let ≈\approx denote the usual equivalence of filling functions. Bader–Kropholler–Vankov's conjecture. Then

FV⁡R,Gn≈FV⁡R,Hn.\operatorname{FV}_{R,G}^{n} \approx \operatorname{FV}_{R,H}^{n}.

This extends the known quasi-isometry invariance result for groups of type FHn(R)\mathrm{FH}_n(R) to the broader class of groups of type \FPn(R)\FP_n(R). The equivalence of these finiteness conditions is itself a well-known open problem for n>2n>2, and the conjectured invariance remains open.
