It is well-known that a paracompact space X is of covering dimension n if and only if any map f from X to a simplicial complex K can be pushed into its n-skeleton. We use the same idea to define dimension in the coarse category. It turns…

We prove that for any coarse spaces $X_1,\dots,X_n$ of asymptotic dimension $\ge 1$, the product $X=X_1\times\dots\times X_n$ has asymptotic dimension $\ge n$. Another result states that a finitary coare space $Z$ has $\mathrm{asdim}(Z)\ge…

We show that if a subspace $A$ of a coarse $PD(n)$ metric space $X$ coarsely separates it, then it must have asymptotic dimension at least $n-1$.

Using ideas from shape theory we embed the coarse category of metric spaces into the category of direct sequences of simplicial complexes with bonding maps being simplicial. Two direct sequences of simplicial complexes are equivalent if one…

This paper is devoted to dualization of paracompactness to the coarse category via the concept of $R$-disjointness. Property A of G.Yu can be seen as a coarse variant of amenability via partitions of unity and leads to a dualization of…

We introduce the notion of asymptotic cohomology based on the bounded cohomology and define cohomological asymptotic dimension $\as_{\Z} X$ of metric spaces. We show that it agrees with the asymptotic dimension $\as X$ when the later is…

The aim of this paper is to investigate properties preserved and co-preserved by coarsely $n$-to-1 functions, in particular by the quotient maps $X\to X/\sim$ induced by a finite group $G$ acting by isometries on a metric space $X$. The…

Inspired by a classical theorem of topological dimension theory, we prove that every geodesic metric space of asymptotic dimension $n$ containing a bi-infinite geodesic can be coarsely separated by a subset $S$ of asymptotic dimension equal…

The purpose of this note is to characterize the asymptotic dimension $asdim(X)$ of metric spaces $X$ in terms similar to Property A of Yu: If $(X,d)$ is a metric space and $n\ge 0$, then the following conditions are equivalent: [a.]…

We introduce the group-compact coarse structure on a Hausdorff topological group in the context of coarse structures on an abstract group which are compatible with the group operations. We develop asymptotic dimension theory for the…

The main goal of this note is to prove a coarse analogue of Factorization Theorems in Dimension Theory: Let $f: X \rightarrow Y$ be a coarsely continuous map. Then $f$ factors through coarsely continuous maps $g : X \rightarrow Z$ and $h :…

Recent research in coarse geometry revealed similarities between certain concepts of analysis, large scale geometry, and topology. Property A of G.Yu is the coarse analog of amenability for groups and its generalization (exact spaces) was…

We give a characterization for asymptotic dimension growth. We apply it to CAT(0) cube complexes of finite dimension, giving an alternative proof of N. Wright's result on their finite asymptotic dimension. We also apply our new…

Uniformity and proximity are two different ways for defining small scale structures on a set. Coarse structures are large scale counterparts of uniform structures. In this paper, motivated by the definition of proximity, we develop the…

For each $n$, we construct a separable metric space $\mathbb{U}_n$ that is universal in the coarse category of separable metric spaces with asymptotic dimension ($\mathop{asdim}$) at most $n$ and universal in the uniform category of…

Let $X$ be a geodesic metric space with $H_1(X)$ uniformly generated. If $X$ has asymptotic dimension one then $X$ is quasi-isometric to an unbounded tree. As a corollary, we show that the asymptotic dimension of the curve graph of a…

In this paper we show that the asymptotic dimension of an unbounded proper metric space is bounded above by a coarse analog of Ponomarev's cofinal dimension of topological spaces, which we call the coarse cofinal dimension. We also show…
