Summary: The isoperimeric spectrum consists of all real positive numbers \(\alpha\) such that \(n^\alpha\) is equivalent to the Dehn function of a finitely presented group. In this note we show how a recent result of \textit{A. Yu. Olshanskii} [J. Comb. Algebra 2, No. 4, 311--433 (2018; Zbl 1466.20028)] completes the description of the isoperimetric spectrum modulo the celebrated Computer Science conjecture (and one of the seven Millennium Problems) P = NP and even a formally weaker conjecture.
