On hyper-Euclidean manifolds (Q2494098)

An open \(n\)-manifold \(X\) is called hyper-Euclidian if it admits a proper \(1\)-Lipschitz map \(p:X\to {\mathbb{R}}^n\) of degree one. The author shows that the universal cover of an aspherical manifold whose fundamental group has finite asymptotic dimension in the sense of Gromov is hyper-Euclidean after crossing with some Euclidean space.
