Abstract

We prove the following theorem: Let π be the fundamental group of a finite graph of groups with finitely generated vertex groups Gv having asdim Gv n for all vertices v. Then asdimπ n+1. This gives the best possible estimate for the asymptotic dimension of an HNN extension and the amalgamated product.
