Abstract: It is well-known that dimensions of Euclidean spaces add up,
if one considers their product, ${\Bbb{R}}^d={\Bbb{R}}^m
\times {\Bbb{R}}^n$, $d=m+n$. For Riemannian manifolds,
the notion of dimension is more delicate, e.g. the
topological dimension does not reflect their geometry at
infinity. However, one may introduce {\it an isoperimetric
dimension} through isoperimetric inequalities.
The dimension introduced in this way is not a number but a
family of functions indexed by a parameter $p$, $1 < p < \ infty$.
Our main result generalizes the addition of dimensions in the
euclidean case using the notion of the isoperimetric dimension.
