Abstract

This paper is an addendum to the author's previous paper [#Im20a]. Miller et al. [#MSM10] introduced a functor σ ⁣:pCoarseSets\sigma\colon\mathbf{pCoarse}\to\mathbf{Sets}, where pCoarse\mathbf{pCoarse} is the category of pointed coarse spaces and coarse maps. DeLyser et al. [#DLT13] introduced a functor ε ⁣:pCoarseSets\varepsilon\colon\mathbf{pCoarse}\to\mathbf{Sets}, and proved that ε\varepsilon coincides with σ\sigma on pMetr\mathbf{pMetr} (the full subcategory of metrisable spaces). Using techniques of nonstandard analysis, the author in [#Ima20a] provided a functor ι ⁣:CpCoarseSets\iota\colon\mathscr{C}\subseteq\mathbf{pCoarse}\to\mathbf{Sets}, where C\mathscr{C} is an arbitrary small full subcategory, and a natural transformation ω ⁣:σCι\omega\colon\sigma\restriction\mathscr{C}\Rightarrow\iota. The surjectivity of ω\omega has been proved for all proper geodesic metrisable spaces, while the injectivity has remained open. In this note, we first pointed out that ω\omega is the composition of two natural transformations φC ⁣:σCεC\varphi\restriction\mathscr{C}\colon\sigma\restriction\mathscr{C}\Rightarrow\varepsilon\restriction\mathscr{C} and ω ⁣:εCι\omega'\colon\varepsilon\restriction\mathscr{C}\Rightarrow\iota, and then show that ω\omega' is injective for all spaces in C\mathscr{C}. As a corollary, ω\omega is injective for all metrisable spaces in C\mathscr{C}. This partially answers some of the problems posed in [#Ima20a].
