| contents | We consider the coarse-geometric notion of ends in the context of coarse homotopy. We show that, when recontextualized as a functor from an appropriate coarse category of proper geodesic spaces, the set of ends $\mathcal{E}\text{nds}(-)$ is a coarse homotopy invariant. Further, we prove the existence of a natural surjection from the coarse path component functor $π_0^{\text{Crs}}(-)$ to $\mathcal{E}\text{nds}(-)$, and show that in general, this is not an injection (even when restricted to locally finite planar graphs). Finally, we begin to consider when this injection indeed exists by showing that this is the case for locally finite geometric trees, providing a number of useful preliminary lemmas on the behaviour of geodesics in this context. |
