Abstract

A ballean (or coarse space) is a set endowed with a coarse structure. A ballean XX is called normal if any two asymptotically disjoint subsets of XX are asymptotically separated. We say that a ballean XX is ultranormal (extremely normal) if any two unbounded subsets of XX are not asymptotically disjoint (every unbounded subset of XX is large). Every maximal ballean is extremely normal and every extremely normal ballean is ultranormal, but the converse statements do not hold. A normal ballean is ultranormal if and only if the Higson^{\prime}s corona of XX is a singleton. A discrete ballean XX is ultranormal if and only if XX is maximal. We construct a series of concrete balleans with extremal properties.
