Coarse selectors of groups

Authors

Abstract: For a group

G

,

m a t h c a l F_{G}

denotes the set of all non-empty finite subsets of

G

. We extend the finitary coarse structure of

G

from

G i m e s G

to

m a t h c a l F_{G} i m e s m a t h c a l F_{G}

and say that a macro-uniform mapping

f : m a t h c a l F_{G} i g h t a r r o w m a t h c a l F_{G}

(resp.

f : [G]^{2} i g h t a r r o w G

) is a finitary selector (resp. 2-selector) of

G

if

f (A) i n A

for each

A i n m a t h c a l F_{G}

(resp.

A i n [G]^{2}

). We prove that a group

G

admits a finitary selector iff

G

admits a 2-selector and iff

G

is a finite extension of an infinite cyclic subgroup or

G

is countable and locally finite. We use this result to characterize groups admitting linear orders compatible with finitary coarse structures.
