Abstract

Let $X$ be a geodesic metric space with $H_{1} (X)$ uniformly generated. If $X$ has asymptotic dimension one then $X$ is quasi-isometric to an unbounded tree. As a corollary, we show that the asymptotic dimension of the curve graph of a compact, oriented surface with genus $g \geq 2$ and one boundary component is at least two.
