linear isoperimetric inequality implies hyperbolicity

66 Views Asked by At

I am trying to find a nice proof that a finitely presented group satisfying a linear isoperimetric inequality implies it is hyperbolic.

I came across these lecture notes, Theorem 3.22, but I am having a hard time following the proof:

https://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~kapovich/280-2020/hyplectures_papasoglu.pdf

I believe the star function stands for all the closed cells in the van Kampen diagram that touch that subcomplex of the van Kampen diagram.

Why would $l(L_1) \geq l’ - 2\rho$ ? I understand L is a geodesic, but I am unsure why the maximum length of the relators is in this inequality. I am also unsure why applying this star function $12K$ times gives that sequence, would we not be taking off $2\rho$ each time?

If anyone can make this proof more clear to me or provide different proof that would be appreciated.
