Many concrete problems are formulated in terms of a finite set of points in $R^n$ which, via the ambient Euclidean metric, becomes a finite metric space. To obtain information from such a space, it is often useful to associate a graph to…

We classify the metric spaces that can be approximated by finite homogeneous ones.

Isometries of metric spaces $(X,d)$ preserve all level sets of $d$. We formulate and prove cases of a conjecture asserting if $X$ is a complete Riemannian manifold, then a function $f:X \rightarrow X$ preserving at least one level set…

Let $p$ be a real number greater than one and let $X$ be a locally compact, noncompact metric measure space that satisfies certain conditions. The $p$-Royden and $p$-harmonic boundaries of $X$ are constructed by using the $p$-Royden algebra…

Using the identification of the symmetric space $\mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{R})/\mathrm{SO}(n)$ with the Teichm\"uller space of flat $n$-tori of unit volume, we explore several metrics and compactifications of these spaces, drawing inspiration…

A maxitive measure is the analogue of a finitely additive measure or charge, in which the usual addition is replaced by the supremum operation. Contrarily to charges, maxitive measures often have a density. We show that maxitive measures…

Symmetries and isomorphisms play similar conceptual roles when we consider how models represent physical situations, but they are formally distinct, as two models related by symmetries are not typically isomorphic. I offer a rigorous…

We suggest a construction that, given a trajectorial diffeomorphism between two Hamiltonian systems, produces integrals of them. As the main example we treat geodesic equivalence of metrics. We show that the existence of a non-trivially…

We study the space of Riemannian metrics over a compact manifold equipped with the Ebin metric. We characterize its self-isometries and prove that two such spaces are isometric if and only if their underlying manifolds are diffeomorphic.

Let the metric space $\mathbb R^n \setminus \sim$ be the metric space of $n$-sized unordered tuples of real numbers. In the following, it will be shown that if a function $\varphi: \mathbb R^m \to \mathbb R^n \setminus \sim$ is continuous,…

If $g$ is a map from a space $X$ into $\mathbb R^m$ and $q$ is an integer, let $B_{q,d,m}(g)$ be the set of all lines $\Pi^d\subset\mathbb R^m$ such that $|g^{-1}(\Pi^d)|\geq q$. Let also $\mathcal H(q,d,m,k)$ denote the maps $g\colon…

Motivated by the analysis and geometry of metric-measure structures in infinite dimensions, we study the category of extended metric-topological spaces, along with many of its distinguished subcategories (such as the one of compact spaces).…

We introduce the functor * which assigns to every metric space X its symmetric join *X. As a set, *X is a union of intervals connecting ordered pairs of points in X. Topologically, *X is a natural quotient of the usual join of X with…

We summarize our geometric and topological description of compact eight-manifolds which arise as internal spaces in ${\cal N}=1$ flux compactifications of M-theory down to $\mathrm{AdS}_3$, under the assumption that the internal part of the…

We give a definition of a functor compactifying the functor of bundles on a surfaces. Earlier different authors have defined similar spaces as either images under a morphism or a quotient by an equivalence relation. We use the technique of…

A simple construction of Euclidean invariant and reflection positive measures on the cylindrical compactification is performed under a weaker hypothesis than has recently been obtained. Moreover, the results are extended to the case when…

Let Riemannian metrics $g$ and $\bar g$ on a connected manifold $M^n$ have the same geodesics (considered as unparameterized curves). Suppose the eigenvalues of one metric with respect to the other are all different at a point. Then, by the…

We give the following characterization of rectifiable metric spaces. A metric space with positive lower Hausdorff density is rectifiable if and only if, for any subset $F$ and $f:F\to Y$, a Lipschitz map into a metric space with positive…

The classical uniformization theorem states that any simply connected Riemann surface is conformally equivalent to the disk, the plane, or the sphere, each equipped with a standard conformal structure. We give a similar uniformization for…

For a non-compact metrizable space $X$, let ${\mathcal E}(X)$ be the set of all one-point metrizable extensions of $X$, and when $X$ is locally compact, let ${\mathcal E}_K(X)$ denote the set of all locally compact elements of ${\mathcal…
