Abstract: How hard is it to fill a loop in a Cayley graph with an unoriented surface? Following a comment of Gromov in "Asymptotic invariants of infinite groups", we define homological filling functions of groups with coefficients in a group

R

. Our main theorem is that the coefficients make a difference. That is, for every

n g e q 1

and every pair of coefficient groups

A, B i n m a t h b b Z, m a t h b b Q c u p m a t h b b Z / p m a t h b b Z : p e x t p r i m e

, there is a group whose filling functions for

n

-cycles with coefficients in

A

and

B

have different asymptotic behavior.
