Constructing a coarse space with a given Higson or binary corona

Publication date 16 December 2020

Abstract: For any compact Hausdorff space

K

we construct a canonical finitary coarse structure

m a t h c a l E_{X, K}

on the set

X

of isolated points of

K

. This construction has two properties:

If a finitary coarse space

(X, m a t h c a l E)

is metrizable, then its coarse structure

m a t h c a l E

coincides with the coarse structure

generated by the Higson compactification

of

X

;

A compact Hausdorff space

K

coincides with the Higson compactification of the coarse space

(X, m a t h c a l E_{X, K})

if the set

X

is dense in

K

and the space

K

is Frechet-Urysohn. This implies that a compact Hausdorff space

K

is homeomorphic to the Higson corona of some finitary coarse space if one of the following conditions holds: (i)

K

is perfectly normal; (ii)

K

has weight

w (K) l e o m e g a_{1}

and character

c h i (K) < m a t h f r a k p

. Under CH every (zero-dimensional) compact Hausdorff space of weight

l e o m e g a_{1}

is homeomorphic to the Higson (resp. binary) corona of some cellular finitary coarse space.
