Extremal balleans
Abstract
A ballean (or coarse space) is a set endowed with a coarse structure. A ballean is called normal if any two asymptotically disjoint subsets of are asymptotically separated. We say that a ballean is ultranormal (extremely normal) if any two unbounded subsets of are not asymptotically disjoint (every unbounded subset of is large). Every maximal ballean is extremely normal and every extremely normal ballean is ultranormal, but the converse statements do not hold. A normal ballean is ultranormal if and only if the Higsons corona of is a singleton. A discrete ballean is ultranormal if and only if is maximal. We construct a series of concrete balleans with extremal properties.
