Abstract
We construct a multiset space over a metric space that simultaneously enjoys desirable topological properties and admits a natural matching metric , making it a metrizable abelian topological monoid whose structure is compatible with the original metric on . This framework extends naturally to the free abelian group , where a metric induces a metrizable abelian topological group structure. We further identify the metric completion of , showing that it carries a canonical extension of the matching metric.
