In this paper, we introduce the boundary $\mathcal{U}X$ of a coarse proximity space $(X,\mathcal{B},{\bf b}).$ This boundary is a subset of the boundary of a certain Smirnov compactification. We show that $\mathcal{U}X$ is compact and…

A coarse compactification of a proper metric space $X$ is any compactification of $X$ that is dominated by its Higson compactification. In this paper we describe the maximal coarse compactification of $X$ whose corona is of dimension $0$.…

This paper is devoted to introducing coarse structures in a very simple way, namely as an equivalence relation on the set of simple ends. As an application we show that Gromov boundary of every hyperbolic space is an example of a Higson…

We present an idea of unifying small scale (topology, proximity spaces, uniform spaces) and large scale (coarse spaces, large scale spaces). It relies on an analog of multilinear forms from Linear Algebra. Each form has a large scale…

Let $\mathbf{TB}$ be the category of totally bounded, locally compact metric spaces with the $C_0$ coarse structures. We show that if $X$ and $Y$ are in $\mathbf{TB}$ then $X$ and $Y$ are coarsely equivalent if and only if their Higson…

We introduce the notion of controlled products on metric spaces as a generalization of Gromov products, and construct boundaries by using controlled products, which we call the Gromov boundaries. It is shown that the Gromov boundary with…

Uniformity and proximity are two different ways for defining small scale structures on a set. Coarse structures are large scale counterparts of uniform structures. In this paper, motivated by the definition of proximity, we develop the…

We introduce the notion of (hybrid) large scale normal space and prove coarse geometric analogues of Urysohn's Lemma and the Tietze Extension Theorem for these spaces, where continuous maps are replaced by (continuous and) slowly…

If a Hausdorff locally compact paracompact space has a coarse structure, then there is a family of well behaved compactifications associated to it. If there are two of these spaces, $X$ and $Y$, with a good coarse equivalence, then there is…

A topology on a set $X$ is the same as a projection (i.e. an idempotent linear operator) $cl:2^X\to 2^X$ satisfying $A\subset cl(A)$ for all $A\subset X$. That's a good way to summarize Kuratowski's closure operator. Basic geometry on a set…

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…

This paper deepens into the relations between coarse spaces and compactifications, by defining a $C_0$ coarse structure attached to a family of pseudometrics. This definition allow us to give a more topological point of view on the…

In this paper we investigate Hartman functions on a topological group $G$. Recall that $(\iota, C)$ is a group compactification of $G$ if $C$ is a compact group, $\iota: G\to C$ is a continuous group homomorphism and $\iota(G)$ is dense in…

For complete affine manifolds we introduce a definition of compactification based on the projective differential geometry (i.e.\ geodesic path data) of the given connection. The definition of projective compactness involves a real parameter…

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…

The Bohr compactification is a well known construction for (topological) groups and semigroups. Recently, this notion has been investigated for arbitrary structures in \cite{har_kun:bohr_discrete} where the Bohr compactification is defined,…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with conic singularities, i.e. a Riemannian manifold whose metric has a conic degeneracy at the boundary. Let $\Delta$ be the Friedrichs extension of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on $X.$ There are…

We study the metric compactification of a Kobayashi hyperbolic complex manifold \(\mathcal{X} \) equipped with the Kobayashi distance \( \mathsf{k}_{\mathcal{X}} \). We show that this compactification is genuine -- i.e., \( \mathcal{X} \)…

We develop a relative boundary theory for actions of discrete groups on compact spaces and use it to derive rigidity results for reduced crossed products. For a discrete group $\Gamma$ acting on a compact space $X$ and a subgroup $H$, we…

Every topological group $G$ has some natural compactifications which can be a useful tool of studying $G$. We discuss the following constructions: (1) the greatest ambit $S(G)$ is the compactification corresponding to the algebra of all…
