Coarse free products

Geometric Topology 2020-06-26 v3

Abstract

We define a notion of free product for coarse spaces that generalizes the corresponding notion of a free product for groups. We show that free products preserve coarse properties such as coarse property C, finite coarse decomposition complexity, and coarse property A. We also give an upper bound estimate on the dimension of a coarse free product in terms of the dimension of its factors.
