Abstract

The filling volume functions of the n-th quaternionic Heisenberg group grow, up to dimension n, as fast as the ones of the Euclidean space. We identify the growth rate of the filling volume function in dimension n + 1, which is strictly faster than the growth rate of the (n + 1)-dimensional filling volume function of the Euclidean space.
