Abstract: For every metric space X we introduce two cardinal characteristics mathrmcovflat(X) and mathrmcovsharp(X) describing the capacity of balls in X. We prove that these cardinal characteristics are invariant under coarse equivalence and prove that two ultrametric spaces X,Y are coarsely equivalent if mathrmcovflat(X)=mathrmcovsharp(X)=mathrmcovflat(Y)=mathrmcovsharp(Y). This result implies that an ultrametric space X is coarsely equivalent to an isometrically homogeneous ultrametric space if and only if mathrmcovflat(X)=mathrmcovsharp(X). Moreover, two isometrically homogeneous ultrametric spaces X,Y are coarsely equivalent if and only if mathrmcovsharp(X)=mathrmcovsharp(Y) if and only if each of these spaces coarsely embeds into the other space. This means that the coarse structure of an isometrically homogeneous ultrametric space X is completely determined by the value of the cardinal mathrmcovsharp(X)=mathrmcovflat(X).
