Abstract: Let $Gamma$ be a finite graph, and for each vertex $i$ let $G_i$ be a finitely presented group. Let $G$ be the graph product of the $G_i$. That is, $G$ is the group obtained from the free product of the $G_i$ by factoring out by the smallest normal subgroup containing all $[g,h]$ where $gin{G}_i$ and $hin{G}_j$ and there is an edge joining i and j . We show that $G$ has an isoperimetric function of degree $kge2$ (or an exponential isoperimetric function) if each vertex group has such an isoperimetric function.

Review text

A graph product of groups \(G_i\) is the quotient of the free product given by requiring that for certain pairs \((i,j)\) all elements of \(G_i\) commute with all elements of \(G_j\). It is proved that if the \(G_i\) have isoperimetric and isodiametric functions of various types (such as polynomials of some degree at least 2), so does their graph product.
