Abstract

We prove that each coarsely homogenous separable metric space XX is coarsely equivalent to one of the spaces: the sigleton, the Cantor macro-cube or the Baire macro-space. This classification is derived from coarse characterizations of the Cantor macro-cube and of the Baire macro-space given in this paper. Namely, we prove that a separable metric space XX is coarsely equivalent to the Baire macro-space if any only if XX has asymptotic dimension zero and has unbounded geometry in the sense that for every δ\delta there is ϵ\epsilon such that no ϵ\epsilon-ball in XX can be covered by finitely many sets of diameter δ\le \delta.
