Abstract
We generalize Dranishnikov’s asymptotic inductive dimension to the setting of coarse proximity spaces. We show that in this more general context, the asymptotic inductive dimension of a coarse proximity space is greater than or equal to the inductive dimension of its boundary, and consequently may be strictly greater than the covering dimension of the boundary. We also give a condition, called complete traceability, on the boundary of the coarse proximity space under which the asymptotic inductive dimension of a coarse proximity space and the inductive dimension of its boundary coincide. Finally, we show that spaces whose boundaries are $Z$-sets and spaces admitting metrizable compactifications have completely traceable boundaries.
