Abstract

We prove that for all k,m,nN{}k,m,n \in \mathbb N \cup \{\infty\} with 4kmn4 \leq k \leq m \leq n, there exists a finitely generated group GG with a finitely generated subgroup HH such that the asymptotic dimension of GG is kk, the Assouad-Nagata dimension of GG is mm, and the Assouad-Nagata dimension of HH is nn. This simultaneously answers two open questions in asymptotic dimension theory.

33 pages, 7 figures This paper is a sequel to "Assouad-Nagata dimension of C'(1/6) groups" (1909.06646). Some of the results from the previous paper have been shifted to this one, since their proofs use similar techniques. The author believes this reorganization will make both papers easier to read and greatly reduce their combined length
