Asymptotic dimension is a concept from geometric topology and metric geometry that provides a way to measure the "size" or "dimension" of a metric space in a manner that is sensitive to the space's large-scale structure. It was introduced by the mathematicians J. M. G. B. Connes and more extensively developed by others in the context of spaces that arise in analysis, algebra, and topology.
