Infinite periodic asymptotic dimension of nonabelian free groups

About 2 years old · traced to

Let FF be a nonabelian free group, and let pdim⁡(F)\operatorname{pdim}(F) denote its periodic asymptotic dimension. Free-group periodic-dimension conjecture. Nonabelian free groups have infinite periodic asymptotic dimension, that is, pdim⁡(F)=∞\operatorname{pdim}(F)=\infty. This concerns the behavior of periodic asymptotic dimension for free groups, following the paper's discussion of finiteness under extensions and examples of virtually polycyclic groups and Baumslag–Solitar groups.
