Gromov (1993) showed that every reduced van Kampen diagram D of a random group at density d satisfies the isoperimetric inequality |∂D|≥ (1 − 2d − 𝜀)|D|ℓ. Adapting Gruber and Mackay’s (2021) method for random triangular groups, we obtain a nonreduced van Kampen 2–complex version of this inequality.

The main result of this article is a phase transition: given a geometric form Y of 2–complexes, we find a critical density dc(Y ) such that, in a random group at density d, if d < dc, then there is no reduced van Kampen 2–complex of the form Y ; while if d > dc, then there exists reduced van Kampen 2–complexes of the form Y .

As an application, we exhibit phase transitions for small-cancellation conditions in random groups, giving explicitly the critical densities for the conditions C′(λ), C(p), B(p) and T(q).
