Review text

Let \(f: X \rightarrow Y\) be a closed map between metric spaces. The (so called) Hurewicz theorem states that\N\[\N\dim X \leq \dim Y+ \dim f,\N\]\Nwhere \(\dim f=\sup \{ \dim f^{-1}(y) \mid y \in Y \}\) (for an early result of this type, see [\textit{W. Hurewicz}, Proc. Akad. Wet. Amsterdam 30, 425--430 (1927; JFM 53.0562.02)]). A version known as Hurewicz-type formula for asymptotic dimension and group homomorphisms, due to \textit{A. Dranishnikov} and \textit{J. Smith} [Fundam. Math. 189, No. 1, 27--34 (2006; Zbl 1100.20034)] states that if \(f : G \rightarrow H\) is a group homomorphism, then\N\[\N\operatorname{asdim} G \leq \operatorname{asdim} H + \operatorname{asdim} (\ker f).\N\]\NIn the paper under review, the author establishes a similar formula for certain quasimorphisms of countable approximate groups \((\Xi, \Xi^{\infty})\) and \((\Lambda, \Lambda^{\infty})\). In particular, she proves that if \(f: (\Xi, \Xi^{\infty}) \rightarrow (\Lambda, \Lambda^{\infty})\) is a symmetric unital quasimorphism, then\N\[\N\operatorname{asdim} \Xi \leq \operatorname{asdim} \Lambda + \operatorname{asdim} (f^{-1}(D(f))),\N\]\Nwhere \(D(f)= \big \{ f(\xi_{1})^{-1}f(\xi_{2})^{-1}f(\xi_{1}\xi_{2}) \; \big | \; \xi_{1},\xi_{2} \in \Xi \big \}\) is the defect set of \(f\).
