Let C be the Cayley graph of G' with all commutators in G as generators. Then C is large scale simply connected.

Hence (in this case), the asymptotic dimension of C is at least 2.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-10-27T18:59:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F65", "57M07" ], "keywords": [ "large scale geometry", "commutator subgroup", "torsion-free nonelementary word-hyperbolic group", "asymptotic dimension", "cayley graph" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0807.4704C" } } }
