Introduced by Gromov in the 80's, coarse embeddings are a generalization of quasi-isometric embeddings when the control functions are not necessarily affine. In this paper, we will be particularly interested in coarse embeddings between symmetric spaces and Euclidean buildings. The quasi-isometric case is very well understood thanks to the rigidity results for symmetric spaces and buildings of higher rank by Anderson-Schroeder, Kleiner, Kleiner-Leeb and Eskin-Farb in the 90's. In particular, it is well known that the rank of these spaces is monotonous under quasi-isometric embeddings. This is no longer the case for coarse embeddings as shown by horospherical embeddings. However, we show that in the absence of a Euclidean factor in the domain, the rank is monotonous under coarse embeddings. This answers a question by David Fisher and Kevin Whyte. We can also relax the condition on the domain by allowing it to contain a Euclidean factor of dimension 1, answering a question by Gromov. OUSSAMA BENSAID 4.4. Proof of Theorem 1.10 38 5.
