摘要：
We prove that the dimension of any asymptotic cone over a metric space (X,rho) does not exceed the asymptotic Assouad-Nagata dimension asdim(AN)(X) of X. This improves a result of Dranishnikov and Smith (2007), who showed dim(Y) <= asdim(AN)(X) for all separable subsets Y of special asymptotic cones Cone(omega)(X), where omega is an exponential ultrafilter on natural numbers. We also show that the Assouad-Nagata dimension of the discrete Heisenberg group equals its asymptotic dimension.
