Nonreduction of relations in the Gromov space to Polish actions. (English) Zbl 1455.03061

Summary: We show that in the Gromov space of isometry classes of pointed proper metric spaces, the equivalence relations defined by existence of coarse quasi-isometries or being at finite Gromov-Hausdorff distance cannot be reduced to the equivalence relation defined by any Polish action.
