Given a metrizable space $Z$, denote by ${\rm PM}(Z)$ the space of continuous bounded pseudometrics on $Z$, and denote by ${\rm AM}(Z)$ the one of continuous bounded admissible metrics on $Z$, the both of which are equipped with the…

A mapping $f:X\to Y$ between metric spaces is called \emph{little Lipschitz} if the quantity $$ \operatorname{lip}(f(x)=\liminf_{r\to0}\frac{\operatorname{diam} f(B(x,r))}{r} $$ is finite for every $x\in X$. We prove that if a compact (or,…

We conjecture that whenever $M$ is a metric space of density at most continuum, then the space of Lipschitz functions is $w^*$-separable. We prove the conjecture for several classes of metric spaces including all the Banach spaces with a…

Let Y be an absolute neighborhood retract (ANR) for the class of metric spaces and let X be a Hausdorff space. Let map(X,Y) denote the space of continuous maps from X to Y with the compact open topology. It is shown that if X is a CW…

Supplementing and expanding classical results, for compact spaces $K$ and $L$, $L$ metric, and their Banach spaces $\mathcal{C}(L)$ and $\mathcal{C}(K)$ of continuous real-valued functions, we provide several characterizations of the…

Recently, much interest was devoted to the Urysohn universal metric space U and its isometries; this paper is a contribution to this field of research. In particular, we study some properties of isometries of U, and prove the following…

For a separable locally compact but not compact metrizable space $X$, let $\alpha X = X \cup \{x_\infty\}$ be the one-point compactification with the point at infinity $x_\infty$. We denote by $EM(X)$ the space consisting of admissible…

In this paper, topological properties of Wijsman hyperspaces are investigated. We study the existence of isolated points in Wijsman hyperspaces. We show that every Tychonoff space can be embedded as a closed subspace in the Wijsman…

A Banach space is said to be Grothendieck if weak and weak$^*$ convergent sequences in the dual space coincide. This notion has been quantificated by H. Bendov\'{a}. She has proved that $\ell_\infty$ has the quantitative Grothendieck…

For a metrizable space $X$, we denote by $\mathrm{Met}(X)$ the space of all metric that generate the same topology of $X$. The space $\mathrm{Met}(X)$ is equipped with the supremum distance. In this paper, for every strongly…

We develop a theory of projective Fraisse limits in the spirit of Irwin- Solecki. The structures here will additionally support dual semantics as in [Sl10, Sl12]. Let Y be a compact metrizable space and let G be a closed subgroup of…

We describe all metric spaces that have sufficently many affine functions. As an application we obtain a metric characterization of linear-convex subsets of Banach spaces.

We introduce the concept of F-decomposable systems, well-ordered inverse systems of Hausdorff compacta with fully closed bonding mappings. A continuous mapping between Hausdorff compacta is called fully closed if the intersection of the…

A self-map $T$ of a $\nu$-generalized metric space $(X,d\,)$ is said to be a Ciric-Matkowski contraction if $d(Tx,Ty)<d(x,y)$, for $x\neq y$, and, for every $\epsilon>0$, there is $\delta>0$ such that $d(x,y)<\delta+\epsilon$ implies…

The spaces of Riemannian metrics on a closed manifold $M$ are studied. On the space ${\mathcal M}$ of all Riemannian metrics on $M$ the various weak Riemannian structures are defined and the corresponding connections are studied. The space…

The isometric universality of the spaces $C(K)$ for $K$ a non scattered Hausdorff compact does not take into account the ``quality'' of the representation. Indeed, the existence of an isometric copy of a separable Banach space $X$ into…

A space $X$ is strongly $Y$-selective (resp., $Y$-selective) if every lower semicontinuous mapping from $Y$ to the nonempty subsets (resp., nonempty closed subsets) of $X$ has a continuous selection. We also call $X$ (strongly)…

Menger's conjecture that Menger spaces are /sigma-compact is false; it is true for analytic subspaces of Polish spaces and undecidable for more complex definable subspaces of Polish spaces. For non-metrizable spaces, analytic Menger spaces…

We define and study a probability monad on the category of complete metric spaces and short maps. It assigns to each space the space of Radon probability measures on it with finite first moment, equipped with the Kantorovich-Wasserstein…
