We establish some basic theorems in dimension theory and absolute extensor theory in the coarse category of metric spaces. Some of the statements in this category can be translated in general topology language by applying the Higson corona…
We develop an analog to the ends of a metric space for the category of coarse metric spaces and show that it is equivalent to a previously defined coarse invariant.
We present two models for the space of knots which have endpoints at fixed boundary points in a manifold with boundary, one model defined as an inverse limit of spaces of maps between configuration spaces and another which is cosimplicial.…
Inspired by group cohomology, we define several coarse topological invariants of metric spaces. We define the coarse cohomological dimension of a metric space, and demonstrate that if G is a countable group, then the coarse cohomological…
The paper is devoted to the study of coarse shape of Cartesian products of topological spaces. If the Cartesian product of two spaces $X$ and $Y$ admits an HPol-expansion, which is the Cartesian product of HPol-expansions of these spaces,…
The stable systolic category of a closed manifold M indicates the complexity in the sense of volume. This is a homotopy invariant, even though it is defined by some relations between homological volumes on M. We show an equality of the…
Symmetric products of curves are important spaces for both geometers and topologists, and increasingly useful objects for physicists. We summarize in this note some of their basic homotopy theoretic properties and derive a handful of known…
We prove that quasi-isometries of horospherical products of hyperbolic spaces are geometrically rigid in the sense that they are uniformly close to product maps, this is a generalisation of the result obtained by Eskin, Fisher and Whyte in…
The purpose of this paper is to show that various convolution products are fully homotopical, meaning that they preserve weak equivalences in both variables without any cofibrancy hypothesis. We establish this property for diagrams of…
The aim of this paper is to investigate properties preserved and co-preserved by coarsely $n$-to-1 functions, in particular by the quotient maps $X\to X/\sim$ induced by a finite group $G$ acting by isometries on a metric space $X$. The…
An existence result is shown for the asymptotic Dirichlet problem for harmonic maps from the product of the hyperbolic planes to the hyperbolic space, where the Dirichlet data is given on the distinguished boundary (the product of the…
We define coarse proximity structures, which are an analog of small-scale proximity spaces in the large-scale context. We show that metric spaces induce coarse proximity structures, and we construct a natural small-scale proximity…
In this paper, we justify and make precise an elementary approach that establishes the existence of (co)limits in $\mathbf{Cat}$. This approach, while conceptually evident, has not been made fully explicit or systematically described in the…
We show for a free action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a finite-dimensional, compact metric space by homeomorphisms that the dynamic asymptotic dimension is either infinite or coincides with the asymptotic dimension of $\Gamma$.
Let $\mathbb{k}$ be a commutative ring with global dimension zero. We show that we can rigidify homotopy coherent comodules in connective modules over the Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum of $\mathbb{k}$. That is, the $\infty$-category of…
We introduce large scale analogues of topological monotone and light maps, which we call coarsely monotone and coarsely light maps respectively. We show that these two classes of maps constitute a factorization system on the coarse…
In this paper, we study properties of asymptotic resemblance relations induced by compatible coarse structures on groups. We generalize the notion of asymptotic dimensiongrad for groups with compatible coarse structures and show this notion…
We show that the infinite symmetric product of a connected graded-commutative algebra over the rationals is naturally isomorphic to the free graded-commutative algebra on the positive degree subspace of the original algebra. In particular,…
In this paper we develop homotopy theoretical methods for studying diagrams. In particular we explain how to construct homotopy colimits and limits in an arbitrary model category. The key concept we introduce is that of a model…
We prove a version of the countable union theorem for asymptotic dimension and we apply it to groups acting on asymptotically finite dimensional metric spaces. As a consequence we obtain the following finite dimensionality theorems. A) An…
