review text: The objective of the paper under review is to find sufficient conditions for the infiniteness of the genus of certain towers \({\mathcal F}=(F_0,F_1, \ldots, )\) of function fields over a perfect field of constants and to give some criteria to provide examples of such towers. The authors consider towers of the type considered by Garcia and Stichtenoth in Chapter 7 of [\textit{H. Stichtenoth}, Algebraic function fields and codes. 2nd ed. Berlin: Springer (2009; Zbl 1155.14022)] without asking \(g(F_i)\to \infty\) as \(i\to \infty\) since this condition holds when the tower has infinite genus. Additionally, this type of towers is asymptotically bad. A recursive tower, that is, a tower defined by a bivariate polynomial \(H\in K[X,Y]\), is called \textit{skew} if \(\deg_X H \neq \deg_Y H\). The authors find that a sufficient condition for bad asymptotic behavior is that the tower is skew. This condition is not necessary.NEWLINENEWLINEThe main results of this paper are given in Section 3. In Section 4 the authors give examples of asymptotically bad towers and show that several known examples are particular cases of their general results. The key fact for the results is the existence of certain divisor (see Remark 3.2 and Proposition 3.7).
