Hurewicz's dimension-raising theorem states that dim Y ≤ dim X + n for every n-to-1 map f: X → Y. In this paper we introduce a new notion of finite-to-one like map in a large scale setting. Using this notion we formulate a dimension-raising type theorem for asymptotic dimension and asymptotic Assouad-Nagata dimension. It is also well-known (Hurewicz's finite-to-one mapping theorem) that dim X ≤ n if and only if there exists an (n+1)-to-1 map from a 0-dimensional space onto X. We formulate...

An approach to covering dimensions

Using certain ideas connected with the entropy theory, several kinds of dimensions are introduced for arbitrary topological spaces. Their properties are examined, in particular, for normal spaces and quasi-discrete ones. One of the considered dimensions coincides, on these spaces, with the Čech-Lebesgue dimension and the height dimension of posets, respectively.
