Abstract

A bornology B\mathcal{B} on a set XX is called minmax if the smallest and the largest coarse structures on XX compatible with B\mathcal{B} coincide. We prove that B\mathcal{B} is minmax if and only if the family B={pβX:{XB:BB}p}\mathcal B^\sharp=\{p\in\beta X:\{X\setminus B:B\in\mathcal B\}\subset p\} consists of ultrafilters which are pairwise non-isomorphic via B\mathcal B-preserving bijections of XX. Also we construct a minmax bornology B\mathcal B on ω\omega such that the set B\mathcal B^\sharp is infinite. We deduce this result from the existence of a closed infinite subset in βω\beta\omega that consists of pairwise non-isomorphic ultrafilters.
