Extension properties of asymptotic property C and finite decomposition complexity

Abstract

We prove extension theorems for several geometric properties such as asymptotic property C (APC), finite decomposition complexity (FDC), strict finite decomposition complexity (sFDC) which are weakenings of Gromov's finite asymptotic dimension (FAD). The context of all theorems is a finitely generated group $G$ with a word metric and a coarse quasi-action on a metric space $X$. We assume that the quasi-stabilizers have a property $P_1$, and $X$ has the same or sometimes a weaker property $P_2$. Then $G$ also has property $P_2$. We show some sample applications, discuss constraints to further generalizations, and illustrate the flexibility that the weak quasi-action assumption allows.
