Abstract
We first prove that for every metrizable space , for every closed subset whose complement is zero-dimensional, the space can be embedded into a product space of the closed subset and a metrizable zero-dimensional space as a closed subset. Using this theorem, we next show the existence of extensors of metrics and ultrametrics, which preserve properties of metrics such as the completeness, the properness, being an ultrametrics, its fractal dimensions, and large scale structures. This result contains some of the author's extension theorems of ultrametrics.
