Thompson’s groups, introduced by Thompson in 1965, have had a lot of attention in the last fifty years. Being finitely presented, a natural question is to compute their Dehn function. All three groups are conjectured to have quadratic Dehn function; this conjecture was confirmed for Thompson’s group 𝐹 by Guba in 2006. During Matteo Migliorini's talk, we show how to deduce from Guba’s result that Thompson’s group 𝑇 has a quadratic Dehn function as well.
