Finite-valued n-isoperimetric functions across ring norms

Determine the class of ring norms under which, for any group G of type FP_{n+1}(R) equipped with an n-admissible projective RG-resolution of the trivial module R and the induced ℓ-norm, the associated n-isoperimetric function f_n(l) takes only finite values for all l ≥ 0.

Background

The paper defines the homological n-isoperimetric function for a group G over a normed ring R using an n-admissible projective resolution and the ℓ-norm induced by the ring norm. While finiteness of this function is known in certain settings (e.g., over permutation ZG-modules and for R = Z with the usual norm via [FM18]), the general situation for arbitrary norms on rings is not settled.

This question seeks to identify precisely which norms ensure the supremum-based definition of the n-isoperimetric function yields finite values, a prerequisite for quasi-isometry invariance results and for comparing isoperimetric behavior across groups and spaces.

In general, it is not clear that one can assume that isoperimetric inequalities take finite values. We therefore ask the following question: Question 2.10. For which norms ∣⋅∣ does the n-isoperimetric function take finite values?
