Asymptotic dimension of 3-dimensional CAT(0) manifolds
Abstract
We prove that every $3$-manifold equipped with a proper metric admitting a convex geodesic bicombing has Assouad--Nagata dimension at most $3$. In particular, every proper CAT(0) $3$-manifold has Assouad--Nagata dimension at most $3$. As a corollary, the isoperimetric results of Lang--Stadler--Urech \cite{LSU} and Peteranderl \cite{Pet}, previously applicable to $3$-dimensional Hadamard manifolds, also apply to proper CAT(0) $3$-manifolds of asymptotic rank at most $2$.
