Abstract: The Dehn function measures the area of minimal discs that fill closed curves in a space; it is an important invariant in analysis, geometry, and geometric group theory. There are several equivalent ways to define the Dehn function, varying according to the type of disc used. In this paper, we introduce a new definition of the Dehn function and use it to prove several theorems. First, we generalize the quasi-isometry invariance of the Dehn function to a broad class of spaces. Second, we prove H"older extension properties for spaces with quadratic Dehn function and their asymptotic cones. Finally, we show that ultralimits and asymptotic cones of spaces with quadratic Dehn function also have quadratic Dehn function. The proofs of our results rely on recent existence and regularity results for area-minimizing Sobolev mappings in metric spaces.

Review text

The aim of this article is to prove several facts about spaces with a quadratic isoperimetric inequality. The authors generalize the fact that the Dehn function of a manifold or simplicial complex is a quasi-isometry invariant to broader classes of spaces; they show that quadratic Dehn functions are nearly stable under ultralimits; and prove Hölder extension properties for spaces with quadratic Dehn functions.
