The asymptotic dimension of metric spaces is an important notion in geometric group theory introduced by Gromov. The metric spaces considered in this paper are the ones whose underlying spaces are the vertex-sets of graphs and whose metrics…

The asymptotic dimension is an invariant of metric spaces introduced by Gromov in the context of geometric group theory. In this paper, we study the asymptotic dimension of metric spaces generated by graphs and their shortest path metric…

The notion of asymptotic space for an unbounded metric space has been introduced by Micha Gromov in 1980s. It is intended to capture the structure of a metric space at infinity. The most comprehensive definition of asymptotic space is given…

The asymptotic dimension is an invariant of metric spaces introduced by Gromov in the context of geometric group theory. When restricted to graphs and their shortest paths metric, the asymptotic dimension can be seen as a large scale…

Asymptotic property C for metric spaces was introduced by Dranishnikos as generalization of finite asymptotic dimension - asdim. It turns out that this property can be viewed as transfinite extension of asymptotic dimension. The original…

We introduce dynamic asymptotic dimension, a notion of dimension for actions of discrete groups on locally compact spaces, and more generally for locally compact \'etale groupoids. We study our notion for minimal actions of the integer…

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…

Gromov \cite{Gr$_1$} and Dranishnikov \cite{Dr$_1$} introduced asymptotic and coarse dimensions of proper metric spaces via quite different ways. We define coarse and asymptotic dimension of all metric spaces in a unified manner and we…

We obtain two in a sense dual to each other results: First, that the capacity dimension of every compact, locally self-similar metric space coincides with the topological dimension, and second, that the asymptotic dimension of a metric…

We introduce the idea of semigroup-controlled asymptotic dimension. This notion generalizes the asymptotic dimension and the asymptotic Assouad-Nagata dimension in the large scale. There are also semigroup controlled dimensions for the…

A nonnegative number d_infinity, called asymptotic dimension, is associated with any metric space. Such number detects the asymptotic properties of the space (being zero on bounded metric spaces), fulfills the properties of a dimension, and…

We extend Gromov's notion of asymptotic dimension of finitely generated groups to all discrete groups. In particular, we extend the Hurewicz type theorem proven in [B-D2] to general groups. Then we use this extension to prove a formula for…

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…

Asymptotic cones of metric spaces were first invented by Gromov. They are metric spaces which capture the 'large-scale structure' of the underlying metric space. Later, van den Dries and Wilkie gave a more general construction of asymptotic…

We show that one relator groups viewed as metric spaces with respect to the word-length metric have finite asymptotic dimension in the sense of Gromov and give an estimate of their asymptotic dimension in terms of the relator length.

The aim of this paper is to introduce an asymptotic counterpart of the extension dimension defined by Dranishnikov. The main result establishes a relation between the asymptotic extensional dimension of a proper metric space and extension…

We introduce a quasi-symmetry invariant of a metric space Z called the capacity dimension. Our main result says that for a visual Gromov hyperbolic space X the asymptotic dimension of X is at most the capacity dimension of its boundary at…

We develop the theory of APD profiles introduced by J. Dydak for $\infty$-pseudometric spaces. We connect them with transfinite asymptotic dimension defined by T. Radul. We give a characterization of spaces with transfinite asymptotic…

Dimension growth functions of groups have been introduced by Gromov in 1999. We prove that every solvable finitely generated subgroups of the R. Thompson group $F$ has polynomial dimension growth while the group $F$ itself, and some…

This paper is devoted to dualization of dimension-theoretical results from the small scale to the large scale. So far there are two approaches for such dualization: one consisting of creating analogs of small scale concepts and the other…
