The coarse classification of homogeneous ultra-metric spaces

Abstract

We prove that two homogeneous ultra-metric spaces X,YX,Y are coarsely equivalent if and only if Ent(X)=Ent(Y)\mathrm{Ent}^\sharp(X)=\mathrm{Ent}^\sharp(Y) where Ent(X)\mathrm{Ent}^\sharp(X) is the so-called sharp entropy of XX. This classification implies that each homogeneous proper ultra-metric space is coarsely equivalent to the anti-Cantor set 2<ω2^{<\omega}. For the proof of these results we develop a technique of towers which can have an independent interest.
