Abstract

The ultrametric skeleton theorem [Mendel, Naor 2013] implies, among other things, the following nonlinear Dvoretzky-type theorem for Hausdorff dimension: For any 0<β<α0<\beta<\alpha, any compact metric space XX of Hausdorff dimension α\alpha contains a subset which is biLipschitz equivalent to an ultrametric and has Hausdorff dimension at least β\beta. In this note we present a simple proof of the ultrametric skeleton theorem in doubling spaces using Bartal's Ramsey decompositions [Bartal 2021]. The same general approach is also used to answer a question of Zindulka [Zindulka 2020] about the existence of "nearly ultrametric" subsets of compact spaces having full Hausdorff dimension.
