Abstract

Petrunin proves that a metric space X\mathcal{X} admits an intrinsic isometry into En\mathbb{E}^n if and only if X\mathcal{X} is a pro-Euclidean space of rank at most nn. He then shows that either case implies that X\mathcal{X} has covering dimension n\leq \, n. In this paper we extend this result to include embeddings. Namely, we first prove that any pro-Euclidean space of rank at most nn admits an intrinsic isometric embedding into E2n+1\mathbb{E}^{2n+1}. We then discuss how Petrunin's result implies a partial converse to this result.
