Abstract: We construct CAT(0) groups containing subgroups whose Dehn functions are given by $x^s$, for a dense set of numbers $sin[2,infty)$. This significantly expands the known geometric behavior of subgroups of CAT(0) groups.

• Snowflake groups, Perron-Frobenius eigenvalues and isoperimetric spectra.
• Geometric invariants of spaces with isolated flats.
• Optimal higher-dimensional Dehn functions for some CAT(0) lattices.
• Dehn functions of subgroups of right-angled Artin groups
