§Abstract

We give a criterion ensuring that sufficiently high sublevel sets of a discrete Morse function on a CAT(0)\mathrm{CAT}(0) cube complex have polynomial integral homological filling functions. As one application, we verify this criterion for the Stein–Farley complexes of the Higman–Thompson groups Fd,rF_{d,r}, Td,rT_{d,r}, and Vd,rV_{d,r}. Consequently, these groups have polynomial homological filling functions in every degree k≥2k\geq2.
