Canonical partition relations and point character of -spaces
We give two examples of scattered compact spaces K such that C(K) is not uniformly homeomorphic to any subset of c₀(Γ) for any set Γ. The first one is [0,ω₁] and hence it has the smallest possible cardinality, the other one has the smallest possible height ω₀ + 1.
The main results of the paper are: Proposition 0.1. A group G acting coarsely on a coarse space (X,𝓒) induces a coarse equivalence g ↦ g·x₀ from G to X for any x₀ ∈ X. Theorem 0.2. Two coarse structures 𝓒₁ and 𝓒₂ on the same set X are equivalent if the following conditions are satisfied: (1) Bounded sets in 𝓒₁ are identical with bounded sets in 𝓒₂. (2) There is a coarse action ϕ₁ of a group G₁ on (X,𝓒₁) and a coarse action ϕ₂ of a...
