Bounded Scale Measure and Property A

We introduce a generalization for bounded geometry that we call bounded scale measure. We show that bounded scale measure is a coarse invariant unlike bounded geometry. We then show equivalent definitions for spaces with bounded scale measure and show other properties that spaces with bounded scale measure satisfy. From there, we generalize property A from uniformly discrete metric spaces to large scale spaces with bounded geometry. Lastly, we construct a definition for property A for large scale spaces with bounded scale measure and show that this definition of property A is a coarse invariant.

Asymptotic Filtered Colimits

If one has a collection of large scale spaces $\{(X_s,\mathcal{LSS}_s)\}_{s\in S}$ with certain compatibility conditions one may define a large scale space on $X=\bigcup\limits_{s\in S}X_s$ in a way where every function on $X$ is large scale continuous if and only if the function restricted to every $X_s$ is large scale continuous. This large scale structure is called the asymptotic filtered colimit of $\{(X_s,\mathcal{LSS}_s)\}_{s\in S}$. In this paper, we explore a wide variety of coarse invariants that are preserved between $\{(X_s,\mathcal{LSS}_s)\}_{s\in S}$ and the asymptotic filtered colimit $(X,\mathcal{LSS})$. These invariants include finite asymptotic dimension, exactness, property A, and being coarsely embeddable into a separable Hilbert space. We also put forth some questions and show some examples of filtered colimits that give an insight into how to construct filtered colimits and what may not be preserved as well.
