Abstract
The action dimension of a discrete group , , is defined to be the smallest integer such that admits a properly discontinuous action on a contractible –manifold. If no such exists, we define . Bestvina, Kapovich, and Kleiner used Van Kampen’s theory of embedding obstruction to provide a lower bound to the action dimension of a group. In this article, another lower bound to the action dimension of a group is obtained by extending their work, and the action dimensions of the fundamental groups of certain manifolds are found by computing this new lower bound.
