Second order Dehn functions of Pride Groups
by
Peter John Davidson
University of Glasgow

A class of groups (known as Pride groups) given by presentations in which each defining relator involves at most two types of generators was introduced in [1]. I will talk about the generators of the second homotopy module of such groups and from this obtain an upper bound for their second order Dehn function.
