Abstract

The group of combinatorial self-similarities of a pseudometric space (X,d)(X, d) is the maximal subgroup of the symmetric group Sym(X)\mathbf{Sym} (X) whose elements preserve the four-point equality d(x,y)=d(u,v)d(x,y)=d(u,v). Let us denote by IP\mathcal{IP} the class of all pseudometric spaces (X,d)(X, d) for which every combinatorial self-similarity Φ ⁣: X  X\Phi\colon~X~\to~X satisfies the equality d(x,Φ(x))=0,d(x, \Phi(x))=0, but all permutations of metric reflection of (X,d)(X, d) are combinatorial self-similarities of this reflection. The structure of IP\mathcal{IP} spaces is fully described.
