Assouad-Nagata dimension and gap for ordered metric spaces

Group Theory 2023-02-16 v2 Metric Geometry

Abstract

We prove that all spaces of finite Assouad-Nagata dimension admit a good order for Travelling Salesman Problem, and provide sufficient conditions under which the converse is true. We formulate a conjectural characterisation of spaces of finite ANAN-dimension, which would yield a gap statement for the efficiency of orders on metric spaces. Under assumption of doubling, we prove a stronger gap phenomenon about all orders on a given metric space.
