Abstract

In this paper we investigate full box spaces and coarse equivalences between them. We do this in two parts. In part one we compare the full box spaces of free groups on different numbers of generators. In particular the full box space of a free group FkF_k is not coarsely equivalent to the full box space of a free group FdF_d, if d8k+10d\ge 8k+10. In part two we compare fZn\Box_f\mathbb{Z}^n to the full box spaces of 22-generated groups. In particular we prove that the full box space of Zn\mathbb{Z}^n is not coarsely equivalent to the full box space of any 22-generated group, if n3n\ge 3.
