Finite decomposition complexity and asymptotic dimension growth are two generalizations of M. Gromov's asymptotic dimension which can be used to prove property A for large classes of finitely generated groups of infinite asymptotic…
We prove a version of the countable union theorem for asymptotic dimension and we apply it to groups acting on asymptotically finite dimensional metric spaces. As a consequence we obtain the following finite dimensionality theorems. A) An…
It is relatively easy to construct a finitely generated group with infinite asymptotic dimension: the restricted wreath product of $\mathbb{Z}$ by $\mathbb{Z}$ provides an example. In light of this, it becomes interesting to consider the…
We prove the following theorem: Let $\pi$ be the fundamental group of a finite graph of groups with finitely generated vertex groups $G_v$ having asdim $G_v\le n$ for all vertices $v$. Then asdim$\pi\le n+1$. This gives the best possible…
It is proven that if a finitely presented group is one ended it has asymptotic dimension bigger than one. It follows that finitely presented groups with asdim 1 are virtually free. A counterexample is given for the finitely generated case.
We show for a free action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a finite-dimensional, compact metric space by homeomorphisms that the dynamic asymptotic dimension is either infinite or coincides with the asymptotic dimension of $\Gamma$.
We find an upper bound for the asymptotic dimension of a hyperbolic metric space with a set of geodesics satisfying a certain boundedness condition studied by Bowditch. The primary example is a collection of tight geodesics on the curve…
Suppose that a finitely generated group $G$ is hyperbolic relative to a collection of subgroups $\{H_1, ..., H_m\} $. We prove that if each of the subgroups $H_1, ..., H_m$ has finite asymptotic dimension, then asymptotic dimension of $G$…
Let $X$ be a proper metric space and let $F$ be a finite group acting on $X$ by isometries. We show that the asymptotic dimension of $F\backslash X$ is the same as the asymptotic dimension of $X$.
In this note, we show that the asymptotic dimension of any building is finite and equal to the asymptotic dimension of an apartment in that building.
Even though big mapping class groups are not countably generated, certain big mapping class groups can be generated by a coarsely bounded set and have a well defined quasi-isometry type. We show that the big mapping class group of a stable…
We prove an asymptotic analog of the classical Hurewicz theorem on mappings which lower dimension. This theorem allows us to find sharp upper bound estimates for the asymptotic dimension of groups acting on finite dimensional metric spaces…
We combine aspects of the notions of finite decomposition complexity and asymptotic property C into a notion that we call finite APC-decomposition complexity. Any space with finite decomposition complexity has finite APC-decomposition…
We prove the dynamic asymptotic dimension of a free isometric action on a space of finite doubling dimension is either infinite or equal to the asymptotic dimension of the acting group; and give a full description of the dynamic asymptotic…
We prove that graph products constructed over infinite graphs with bounded clique number preserve finite asymptotic dimension. We also study the extent to which Dranishnikov's property C, and Dranishnikov and Zarichnyi's straight finite…
A group is SimpHAtic if it acts geometrically on a simply connected simplicially hereditarily aspherical (SimpHAtic) complex. We show that finitely presented normal subgroups of the SimpHAtic groups are either: finite, or of finite index,…
The functions $F_{G}(n)$ measures the asymptotic behavior of residual finiteness for a finitely generated group $G$. In previous work \cite{Pengitore_1}, the author claimed a characterization for $F_{N}(n)$ when $N$ is a finitely generated…
