Abstract: For every pair of positive integers $p>q$ we construct a one-relator group $R_{p,q}$ whose Dehn function is $simeq{n}^{2alpha}$ where $alpha=lo{g}_2(2p/q)$. The group $R_{p,q}$ has no subgroup isomorphic to a Baumslag-Solitar group $BS(m,n)$ with $meqpmn$, but is not automatic, not CAT(0), and cannot act freely on a CAT(0) cube complex. This answers a long-standing question on the automaticity of one-relator groups and gives counterexamples to a conjecture of Wise.
