Abstract

If we consider a sequence of warped product length spaces, what conditions on the sequence of warping functions implies compactness of the sequence of distance functions? In particular, we want to know when a subsequence converges to a well defined metric space on the same manifold with the same topology. What conditions on the sequence of warping functions implies Lipschitz bounds for the sequence of distance functions and/or the limiting distance function? In this paper we give answers to both of these questions as well as many examples which elucidate the theorems and show that our hypotheses are necessary.
