This note is a contribution to large scale geometry. More precisely, we introduce the intrinsically quasi-isometric sections in metric spaces and we investigate their properties: the Ahlfors-David regularity in large scale; following…

We introduce a generalization for bounded geometry that we call bounded scale measure. We show that bounded scale measure is a coarse invariant unlike bounded geometry. We then show equivalent definitions for spaces with bounded scale…

In this paper we show that the asymptotic dimension of an unbounded proper metric space is bounded above by a coarse analog of Ponomarev's cofinal dimension of topological spaces, which we call the coarse cofinal dimension. We also show…

John Roe \cite{Roe lectures} introduced coarse structures for arbitrary sets $X$ by considering subsets of $X\times X$. That definition, while natural for analysts, is a bit more difficult to digest for topologists and geometers. In this…

We define a generalization of the fixed point set, called the bounded fixed set, for a group acting by isometries on a metric space. An analogue of the P. A. Smith theorem is proved for metric spaces of finite asymptotic dimension, which…

The classical Hausdorff dimension of finite or countable metric spaces is zero. Recently, we defined a variant, called \emph{finite Hausdorff dimension}, which is not necessarily trivial on finite metric spaces. In this paper we apply this…

We prove the following rigidity results. Coarse equivalences between Euclidean buildings preserve spherical buildings at infinity. If all irreducible factors have dimension at least two, then coarsely equivalent Euclidean buildings are…

This note extends the invariant defined in "An invariant of metric spaces under bornologous equivalences" to the coarse category.

Coarse geometry studies metric spaces on the large scale. Our goal here is to study dynamics from a coarse point of view. To this end we introduce a coarse version of topological entropy, suitable for unbounded metric spaces, consistent…

Recent research in coarse geometry revealed similarities between certain concepts of analysis, large scale geometry, and topology. Property A of G.Yu is the coarse analog of amenability for groups and its generalization (exact spaces) was…

This paper establishes a new combinatorial framework for the study of coarse median spaces, bridging the worlds of asymptotic geometry, algebra and combinatorics. We introduce a simple and entirely algebraic notion of coarse median algebra…

This article gives a review of a recent construction, the ambient cosmological metric, and its implications for the global geometry of the universe. According to this proposal, the universe is a bounding hypersurface carrying a conformal…

We initiate the study of pseudofiniteness in continuous logic. We introduce a related concept, namely that of pseudocompactness, and investigate the relationship between the two concepts. We establish some basic properties of…

Let $(X,d)$ be an unbounded metric space and $\tilde r=(r_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ be a scaling sequence of positive real numbers tending to infinity. We define the pretangent space $\Omega_{\infty, \tilde r}^{X}$ to $(X, d)$ at infinity as a…

The fundamental model of a periodic structure is a periodic point set up to rigid motion or isometry. Our recent paper in SoCG 2021 defined isometry invariants (density functions), which are complete in general position and continuous under…

We introduce a geometric property complementary-finite asymptotic dimension (coas- dim). Similar with asymptotic dimension, we prove the corresponding coarse invariant theorem, union theorem and Hurewicz-type theorem.

On a complete, connected, locally compact, non-compact geodesic space $(X,d)$, we assign each compact set a distance-like function. With the help of these functions, we obtain a pseudo-metric on the space of (non-empty) compact subsets of…

We develop the basics of a theory of almost isometries for spaces endowed with a quasi-metric. The case of non-reversible Finsler (more specifically, Randers) metrics is of particular interest, and it is studied in more detail. The main…
