Asymptotic and Assouad-Nagata dimension of finitely generated groups and their subgroups

Abstract

We prove that for all $k,m,n \in \mathbb N \cup \{\infty\}$ with $4 \leq k \leq m \leq n$, there exists a finitely generated group $G$ with a finitely generated subgroup $H$ such that the asymptotic dimension of $G$ is $k$, the Assouad-Nagata dimension of $G$ is $m$, and the Assouad-Nagata dimension of $H$ is $n$. This simultaneously answers two open questions in asymptotic dimension theory.
