A strong submeasure on a compact metric space X is a sub-linear and bounded operator on the space of continuous functions on X. A strong submeasure is positive if it is non-decreasing. By Hahn-Banach theorem, a positive strong submeasure is…

Given a metrizable space $X$, let $AM(X)$ be the space of continuous bounded admissible metrics on $X$, which is endowed with the sup-metric. In this paper, we shall investigate the Borel complexity and the complete metrizability of $AM(X)$…

Two separated realcompact measurable spaces $(X,\mathcal{A})$ and $(Y,\mathcal{B})$ are shown to be isomorphic if and only if the rings $\mathcal{M}(X,\mathcal{A})$ and $\mathcal{M}(Y,\mathcal{B})$ of all real valued measurable functions…

We introduce a new intrinsic metric in subdomains of a metric space and give upper and lower bounds for it in terms of well-known metrics. We also prove distortion results for this metric under quasiregular maps.

Given a set of points in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^\ell$ with $\ell>1$, the pairwise distances between the points are determined by their spatial location and the metric $d$ that we endow $\mathbb{R}^\ell$ with. Hence, the distance…

Let $(\mathcal{M},g)$ be a Riemannian manifold and $\mathcal{N}$ a $\mathcal{C}^2$ submanifold without boundary. If we multiply the metric $g$ by the inverse of the squared distance to $\mathcal{N}$, we obtain a new metric structure on…

The lower dimension $\dim_L$ is the dual concept of the Assouad dimension. As it fails to be monotonic, Fraser and Yu introduced the modified lower dimension $\dim_{ML}$ by making the lower dimension monotonic with the simple formula…

Let $ (X,d) $ be a metric space. We study a metric $ d_0 $ on $ X $ naturally derived from $ d $. If $ (X,d) $ is complete and locally compact, or if it is complete and $ (d_0)_0=d_0 $, then $ d_0 $ coincides with the length metric induced…

Let $M=G/H$ be a compact connected isotropy irreducible Riemannian homogeneous manifold, where $G$ is a compact Lie group (may be, disconnected) acting on $M$ by isometries. This class includes all compact irreducible Riemannian symmetric…

We prove a rigidity theorem that shows that, under many circumstances, quasi-isometric embeddings of equal rank, higher rank symmetric spaces are close to isometric embeddings. We also produce some surprising examples of quasi-isometric…

We introduce a hypertopology, induced by an inframetric up to full quantum isometry, on the class of pointed proper quantum metric spaces, which are separable, possibly non-unital, C*-algebras endowed with an analogue of the Lipschitz…

This note is a contribution to large scale geometry. More precisely, we introduce the intrinsically quasi-isometric sections in metric spaces and we investigate their properties: the Ahlfors-David regularity in large scale; following…

Metric search is concerned with the efficient evaluation of queries in metric spaces. In general,a large space of objects is arranged in such a way that, when a further object is presented as a query, those objects most similar to the query…

We show that the metric universal cover of a plane with a puncture yields an example of a nonstandard hull properly containing the metric completion of a metric space. As mentioned by do Carmo, a nonextendible Riemannian manifold can be…

We establish upper bounds for the distance to finite-dimensional subspaces in inner product spaces and improve some generalisations of Bessel's inequality obtained by Boas, Bellman and Bombieri. Refinements of the Hadamard inequality for…

We will solve a problem by Aliaga and Perneck\'a about Lipschitz free spaces (denoted by $\mathcal F(M)$): $$\text{Does every Borel measure $\mu$ on a complete metric space $M$ such that $\int d(m,0) d |\mu|(m)< \infty$ induce a weak$^*$…

Let \({\mathbb K}\) be any field, let \(X\subset {\mathbb P}^{k-1}\) be a set of \(n\) distinct \({\mathbb K}\)-rational points, and let \(a\geq 1\) be an integer. In this paper we find lower bounds for the minimum distance \(d(X)_a\) of…

We determine the extent to which certain classes of fractionally `smooth' continuous mappings between metric spaces distort various dimensions, including the Hausdorff, upper Minkowski (box-counting), and upper intermediate dimensions. Our…

Here we look at (collections of) semimetrics and seminorms, including their ultrametric versions. In particular, we are concerned with geometric properties related to connectedness and topological dimension 0.

We study lattices in non-positively curved metric spaces. Borel density is established in that setting as well as a form of Mostow rigidity. A converse to the flat torus theorem is provided. Geometric arithmeticity results are obtained…
