What the paper claims, in its own words

For every minimal homeomorphism h of an infinite compact metrizable space X, the radius of comparison of C(X)⋊hZC(X)\rtimes_h\mathbb Z equals 12mdim(X,h)\tfrac12\mathrm{mdim}(X,h), including infinite values. Zero mean dimension is equivalent to the small boundary property, Jiang–Su stability and finite nuclear dimension; in this case nuclear dimension is at most one.
