Abstract:
We prove that the dimension of any asymptotic cone over a metric space does not exceed the asymptotic Assouad-Nagata dimension of . This improves a result of Dranishnikov and Smith (2007), who showed for all separable subsets of special asymptotic cones , where is an exponential ultrafilter on natural numbers.
We also show that the Assouad-Nagata dimension of the discrete Heisenberg group equals its asymptotic dimension.
