Abstract

Suppose GG is a countable, not necessarily finitely generated, group. We show GG admits a proper, left-invariant metric dGd_G such that the Assouad-Nagata dimension of (G,dG)(G,d_G) is infinite, provided the center of GG is not locally finite. As a corollary we solve two problems of A.Dranishnikov.
