Asymptotic dimension of one relator groups

Dmitry Matsnev (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

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 we give an improved estimate of that dimension in terms of the relator length. The construction is similar to one of Bell and Dranishnikov, but we produce a sharper estimate.

The asymptotic dimension of the first Grigorchuk group is infinity.

Revista Matemática Complutense

Similarity:

We describe a sufficient condition for a finitely generated group to have infinite asymptotic dimension. As an application, we conclude that the first Grigorchuk group has infinite asymptotic dimension.

Følner sequences in polycyclic groups.

Similarity:

The isoperimetric inequality |∂Ω| / |Ω| = constant / log |Ω| for finite subsets Ω in a finitely generated group Γ with exponential growth is optimal if Γ is polycyclic.
