نویسنده
چکیده
We compute the asymptotic dimension of the rationals given with an invariant proper metric. Also we show that a countable torsion abelian group taken with an invariant proper metric has asymptotic dimension zero.

Shift Invariant Spaces and Shift Preserving Operators on Locally Compact Abelian Groups
We investigate shift invariant subspaces of $L^2(G)$, where $G$ is a locally compact abelian group. We show that every shift invariant space can be decomposed as an orthogonal sum of spaces each of which is generated by a single function whose shifts form a Parseval frame. For a second countable locally compact abelian group $G$ we prove a useful Hilbert space isomorphism, introduce range funct...
متن کاملOn asymptotic dimension of groups
We prove a version of the countable union theorem for asymptotic dimension and we apply it to groups acting on asymptotically finite dimensional metric spaces. As a consequence we obtain the following finite dimensionality theorems. A) An amalgamated product of asymptotically finite dimensional groups has finite asymptotic dimension: asdimA ∗C B <∞. B) Suppose that G′ is an HNN extension of a g...

متن کاملExistentially Closed Dimension Groups
A partially ordered Abelian group M is algebraically (existentially) closed in a class C M of such structures just in case any finite system of weak inequalities (and negations of weak inequalities), defined over M, is solvable in M if solvable in some N ⊇ M in C. After characterizing existentially closed dimension groups this paper derives amalgamation properties for dimension groups, dimensio...
متن کاملGrowing forests in abelian p-groups
At the center of the theory of abelian p-groups are the classical theorems of Ulm, Zippin and Kaplansky, going back to the thirties, that classify countable p-groups by their Ulm invariants: the uniqueness theorem is referred to as Ulm's theorem, the existence theorem as Zippin's theorem. For each ordinal , the -th Ulm invariant of G can be de ned as the dimension fG( ) of the vector space (ove...
