Abstract: The main results of the paper are: �egin{Prop}label{GenSvarc-Milnor} A group $G$ acting coarsely on a coarse space $(X,CC)$ induces a coarse equivalence $gogcdot{x}_0$ from $G$ to $X$ for any $x_{0}inX$. end{Prop} Theorem: label{GenGromovThm} Two coarse structures $C{C}_1$ and $C{C}_2$ on the same set $X$ are equivalent if the following conditions are satisfied: �egin{enumerate} item Bounded sets in $C{C}_1$ are identical with bounded sets in $C{C}_2$, item There is a coarse action $ph{i}_1$ of a group $G_1$ on $(X,C{C}_1)$ and a coarse action $ph{i}_2$ of a group $G_2$ on $(X,C{C}_2)$ such that $ph{i}_1$ commutes with $ph{i}_2$. end{enumerate} They generalize the following two basic results of coarse geometry: Proposition: [v{S}varc-Milnor Lemma {cite[Theorem 1.18]{Roe lectures}}] label{Svarc-Milnor} A group $G$ acting properly and cocompactly via isometries on a length space $X$ is finitely generated and induces a quasi-isometry equivalence $gogcdot{x}_0$ from $G$ to $X$ for any $x_{0}inX$. Theorem: [Gromov {cite[page 6]{Gro asym invar}}] label{GromovThm} Two finitely generated groups $G$ and $H$ are quasi-isometric if and only if there is a locally compact space $X$ admitting proper and cocompact actions of both $G$ and $H$ that commute.
