  1. We initiate the study of the small scale geometry of operator spaces. The authors have previously shown that a map between operator spaces which is completely coarse (that is, the sequence of its amplifications is equi-coarse) must be -linear. We obtain a generalization of the aforementioned result to completely coarse maps defined on the unit ball of an operator space. By relaxing the condition to a small scale one, we prove that there are many non-linear examples of maps which are completely Lipschitz in small scale. We define a geometric parameter for homogeneous Hilbertian operator spaces which imposes restrictions on the existence of such maps.

  2. We generalize the notions of asymptotic dimension and coarse embeddings from metric spaces to quantum metric spaces in the sense of Kuperberg and Weaver [A von Neumann algebra approach to quantum metrics, Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 215(1010) (2012) 1–80]. We show that quantum asymptotic dimension behaves well with respect to metric quotients and direct sums, and is preserved under quantum coarse embeddings. Moreover, we prove that a quantum metric space that equi-coarsely contains a sequence of expanders must have infinite asymptotic dimension. This is done by proving a quantum version of a vertex-isoperimetric inequality for expanders, based upon a previously known edge-isoperimetric one from [K. Temme, M. J. Kastoryano, M. B. Ruskai, M. M. Wolf and F. Verstraete, The [Formula: see text]-divergence and mixing times of quantum Markov processes, J. Math. Phys. 51(12) (2010) 122201].
