Finite metric trees are known to have strict 1-negative type. In this paper we introduce a new family of inequalities that quantify the extent of the "strictness" of the 1-negative type inequalities for finite metric trees. These…

We introduce a class of metric spaces called $p$-additive combinations and show that for such spaces we may deduce information about their $p$-negative type behaviour by focusing on a relatively small collection of almost disjoint metric…

We study the supremal $p$-negative type of finite metric spaces. An explicit expression for the supremal $p$-negative type $\wp (X,d)$ of a finite metric space $(X,d)$ is given in terms its associated distance matrix, from which the…

This article derives lower bounds on the supremal (strict) p-negative type of finite metric spaces using purely elementary techniques. The bounds depend only on the cardinality and the (scaled) diameter of the underlying finite metric…

Let (X,d) be a metric space of p-negative type. Recently I. Doust and A. Weston introduced a quantification of the p-negative type property, the so called gap {\Gamma} of X. This talk introduces some formulas for the gap {\Gamma} of a…

Nontrivial $p$-polygonal equalities impose certain conditions on the geometry of a metric space $(X,d)$ and so it is of interest to be able to identify the values of $p \in [0,\infty)$ for which such equalities exist. Following work of Li…

Negative type inequalities arise in the study of embedding properties of metric spaces, but they often reduce to intractable combinatorial problems. In this paper we study more quantitative versions of these inequalities involving the…

Let (X,d) be a finite metric space. This paper first discusses the spectrum of the p-distance matrix of a finite metric space of p-negative type and then gives upper and lower bounds for the so called gap of a finite metric space of strict…

The concept of $p$-negative type is such that a metric space $(X,d_{X})$ has $p$-negative type if and only if $(X,d_{X}^{p/2})$ embeds isometrically into a Hilbert space. If $X=\{x_{0},x_{1},\dots,x_{n}\}$ then the $p$-negative type of $X$…

In this work we develop a weight theory in the setting of hyperbolic spaces. Our starting point is a variant of the well-known endpoint Fefferman-Stein inequality for the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function. This inequality…

The usual theory of negative type (and $p$-negative type) is heavily dependent on an embedding result of Schoenberg, which states that a metric space isometrically embeds in some Hilbert space if and only if it has 2-negative type. A…

In this article we investigate a special class of non-doubling metric measure spaces in order to describe the possible configurations of $P_{k,\rm s}^{\rm c}$, $P_{k,\rm s}$, $P_{k,\rm w}^{\rm c}$ and $P_{k,\rm w}$, the sets of all $p \in…

Associated to any finite metric space are a large number of objects and quantities which provide some degree of structural or geometric information about the space. In this paper we show that in the setting of subsets of weighted Hamming…

In this article we study a special class of non-doubling metric measure spaces for which there is a significant difference between the incidence of weak and restricted weak type $(p,p)$ inequalities for the centered and non-centered…

A new method of metric space investigation, based on classification of its finite subspaces, is suggested. It admits to derive information on metric space properties which is encoded in metric. The method describes geometry in terms of only…

If $(X,d)$ is a metric space then the map $f\colon X\to X$ is defined to be a weak contraction if $d(f(x),f(y))<d(x,y)$ for all $x,y\in X$, $x\neq y$. We determine the simplest non-closed sets $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ in the sense of…

In this paper, we introduce the prime trees associated with a finite subset $P$ of the set of all prime numbers, and provide conditions under which the tree is of finite type. Moreover, we compute the density of finite-type subsets $P$. As…

Magnitude is a numerical invariant of finite metric spaces, recently introduced by T. Leinster, which is analogous in precise senses to the cardinality of finite sets or the Euler characteristic of topological spaces. It has been extended…

A metric tree ($M$, $d$), also known as $\mathbb{R}$-trees or $T$-theory, is a metric space such that between any two points there is an unique arc and that arc is isometric to an interval in $\mathbb{R}$. In this paper after presenting…

In a complete metric space that is equipped with a doubling measure and supports a Poincar\'e inequality, we study strict subsets, i.e. sets whose variational capacity with respect to a larger reference set is finite, in the case $p=1$.…
