Coarse geometry of metric measure spaces
Abstract
Using ideas from optimal transport theory, we introduce a notion of measured coarse equivalence for metric measure spaces and define a corresponding variant of the uniformly finite homology of Block and Weinberger, called weighted ℓ∞ homology, for large-scale doubling metric measure spaces. We prove that this homology is invariant under measured coarse equivalence and that the vanishing of its zeroth homology is equivalent to weighted non-amenability. The proofs combine techniques from optimal transport theory and the disintegration of measures.

We prove that this homology is invariant under measured coarse equivalence and that the vanishing of its zeroth homology is equivalent to weighted non-amenability.
