Consider pairs of the form (G, N), with G a group and N \normal G, as objects of a category \PG. A morphism (G_1, N_1) \To (G_2, N_2) will be a group homomorphism f : G_1 \To G_2 such that f(N_1) \subset N_2. We introduce a functor Q : \PG…

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…

It is shown that four-dimensional generalized symmetric spaces can be naturally equipped with some additional structures defined by means of their curvature operators. As an application, those structures are used to characterize generalized…

It is well-known that point-set topology (without additional structure) lacks the capacity to generalize the analytic concepts of completeness, boundedness, and other typically-metric properties. The ability of metric spaces to capture this…

We study property A defined by G. Yu and the operator norm localization property defined by X. Chen, R. Tessera, X. Wang, and G. Yu. These are coarse geometric properties for metric spaces which have applications to operator K-theory. It is…

Usually a Riemannian geometry is considered to be the most general geometry, which could be used as a space-time geometry. In fact, any Riemannian geometry is a result of some deformation of the Euclidean geometry. Class of these Riemannian…

Geometric torsions are torsions of acyclic complexes of vector spaces which consist of differentials of geometric quantities assigned to the elements of a manifold triangulation. We use geometric torsions to construct invariants for a…

In this note we study the natural question of when the generalised F{\o}lner sets exhibiting property A can be chosen to be subsets of the space itself. We show that for many property A spaces $X$, this is indeed possible. Specifically this…

One considers geometry with the intransitive equaivalence relation. Such a geometry is a physical geometry, i.e. it is described completely by the world function, which is a half of the squared distance function. The physical geometry…

Recently, a notion of the free product $X \ast Y$ of two metric spaces $X$ and $Y$ has been introduced by T. Fukaya and T. Matsuka. In this paper, we study coarse geometric permanence properties of the free product $X \ast Y$. We show that…

Given a (not necessarily discrete) proper metric space $M$ with bounded geometry, we define a groupoid $G(M)$. We show that the coarse Baum--Connes conjecture with coefficients, which states that the assembly map with coefficients for G(M)…

We formalize the concept of a family of metric spaces satisfying a coarse property uniformly and we generalize finite decomposition complexity of Erik Guentner, Romain Tessera, and Guoliang Yu. Of particular interest are results determining…

We develop the notion of a geometric covering of a rigid space X, which yields a much larger class of covering spaces than that studied previously by de Jong. Geometric coverings of X are closed under disjoint unions and are \'etale local…

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…

Coarse geometry, the branch of topology that studies the global properties of spaces, was originally developed for metric spaces and then Roe introduced coarse structures as a large-scale counterpart of uniformities. In the literature,…

We find an extension of the quasi-metric (to be called $g$-quasi metric) such that the induced generalized topology may fail to form a topology. We show that $g$-quasi metrizability is a $g$-topologically invariant property of generalized…

Let M be a manifold, and G a Lie group which satisfies the unique extension property. An (M,G) manifold N is a manifold endowed with an atlas (U_i,f_i) where f_i is a diffeomorphism between U_i and an open set of M such that the coordinates…

By using the representational power of Chu spaces we define the notion of a generalized topological space (or GTS, for short), i.e., a mathematical structure that generalizes the notion of a topological space. We demonstrate that these…

Reconsideration of the T-duality of the open string allows us to introduce some geometric features in non-geometric theories. First, we have found what symmetry is T-dual to the local gauge transformations. It includes transformations of…

The main purpose of the paper is to find some expansion properties of locally finite metric spaces which do not embed coarsely into a Hilbert space. The obtained result is used to show that infinite locally finite graphs excluding a minor…
