Abstract:
If G is a hyperbolic group (resp. synchronously or asynchronously automatic group) which can be expressed as an extension of a finitely presented group H by a finitely generated free group, then the normal subgroup H satisfies a polynomial isoperimetric inequality (resp. exponential isoperimetric inequality).
