Asymptotic Dimension of Finitely Presented Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that if a finitely presented group is one-ended then its asymptotic dimension is bigger than 1. It follows that a finitely presented group of asymptotic dimension 1 is virtually free.

متن کاملThe Novikov conjecture and groups with finite asymptotic dimension ∗
Recall that the asymptotic dimension is a coarse geometric analogue of the covering dimension in topology [14]. More precisely, the asymptotic dimension for a metric space is the smallest integer n such that for any r > 0, there exists a uniformly bounded cover C = {Ui}i∈I of the metric space for which the rmultiplicity of C is at most n + 1, i.e. no ball of radius r in the metric space interse...
متن کاملAsymptotic Dimension of Relatively Hyperbolic Groups
Suppose that a finitely generated group G is hyperbolic relative to a collection of subgroups {H1, . . . ,Hm}. We prove that if each of the subgroups H1, . . . ,Hm has finite asymptotic dimension, then asymptotic dimension of G is also finite.

We prove the following. Theorem. Let π be the fundamental group of a finite graph of groups with finitely generated vertex groups G v having asdim G v ≤ n for all vertices v. Then asdim π ≤ n + 1. This gives the best possible estimate for the asymptotic dimension of an HNN extension and the amalgamated product. §0 Introduction The notion of the asymptotic dimension asdim X of a metric space X w...
متن کاملThe Integral K -theoretic Novikov Conjecture for Groups with Finite Asymptotic Dimension
The integral assembly map in algebraic K-theory is split injective for any geometrically finite discrete group with finite asymptotic dimension. The goal of this paper is to apply the techniques developed by the first author in [3] to verify the integral Novikov conjecture for groups with finite asymptotic dimension as defined by M. Gromov [9]. Recall that a finitely generated group Γ can be vi...
