APD profiles and transfinite asymptotic dimension

Abstract

We develop the theory of APD profiles introduced by J. Dydak for $\infty$-pseudometric spaces. We connect them with transfinite asymptotic dimension defined by T. Radul. We give a characterization of spaces with transfinite asymptotic dimension at most $\omega +n$ for $n\in \omega$ and a sufficient condition for a space to have transfinite asymptotic dimension at most $m\cdot \omega +n$ for $m,n\in \omega$, using the language of APD profiles.
