A charge space $(X,\mathcal{A},\mu)$ is a generalisation of a measure space, consisting of a sample space $X$, a field of subsets $\mathcal{A}$ and a finitely additive measure $\mu$, also known as a charge. Key properties a real-valued…

Given a strictly increasing sequence $\Lambda=(\lambda_n)$ of nonegative real numbers, with $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{\lambda_n}<\infty$, the M\"untz spaces $M_\Lambda^p$ are defined as the closure in $L^p([0,1])$ of the monomials…

A metric space is indivisible if for any partition of it into finitely many pieces one piece contains an isometric copy of the whole space. Continuing our investigation of indivisible metric spaces, we show that a countable ultrametric…

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 study $M$-ideals of compact operators by means of the property~$(M)$ introduced in \cite{Kal-M}. Our main result states for a separable Banach space $X$ that the space of compact operators on $X$ is an $M$-ideal in the space of bounded…

The modulus metric (also called the capacity metric) on a domain $D\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ can be defined as $\mu_D(x,y)=\inf\{{\mbox{cap}}\,(D,\gamma)\}$, where ${\mbox{cap}}\,(D,\gamma)$ stands for the capacity of the condenser $(D,\gamma)$…

For a Banach space $X$ by $Conv_H(X)$ we denote the space of non-empty closed convex subsets of $X$, endowed with the Hausdorff metric. We prove that for any closed convex set $C\subset X$ and its metric component $H_C=\{A\in…

Let (X,d) be a metric space and m\in X. Suppose that \phi:X\times X\to\mathbold{R} is a nonnegative symmetric function. We define a metric d^{\phi,m} on X which is equivalent to d. If d^{\phi,m} is totally bounded, its completion is a…

We investigate a relations of almost isometric embedding and almost isometry between metric spaces and prove that with respect to these relations: (1) There is a countable universal metric space. (2) There may exist fewer than continuum…

It is shown that for every $\e\in (0,1)$, every compact metric space $(X,d)$ has a compact subset $S\subseteq X$ that embeds into an ultrametric space with distortion $O(1/\e)$, and $$\dim_H(S)\ge (1-\e)\dim_H(X),$$ where $\dim_H(\cdot)$…

We show that capacity can be computed with locally Lipschitz functions in locally complete and separable metric spaces. Further, we show that if $(X,d,\mu)$ is a locally complete and separable metric measure space, then continuous functions…

We investigate certain geometric properties of the spaces of idempotent measures. In particular, we prove that the space of idempotent measures on an infinite compact metric space is homeomorphic to the Hilbert cube.

We study the large-scale behavior of Newton-Sobolev functions on complete, connected, proper, separable metric measure spaces equipped with a Borel measure $\mu$ with $\mu(X) = \infty$ and $0 < \mu(B(x, r)) < \infty$ for all $x \in X$ and…

Let $(X,d)$ be a finite ultrametric space. In 1961 E.C. Gomory and T.C. Hu proved the inequality $|Sp(X)|\leqslant |X|$ where $Sp(X)=\{d(x,y)\colon x,y \in X\}$. Using weighted Hamiltonian cycles and weighted Hamiltonian paths we give new…

Let $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ be a finite measure space, $Z$ be a Banach space and $\nu:\Sigma \to Z^*$ be a countably additive $\mu$-continuous vector measure. Let $X \subseteq Z^*$ be a norm-closed subspace which is norming for $Z$. Write…

A metric measure space $(X,\mu)$ is 1-regular if \[0< \lim_{r\to 0} \frac{\mu(B(x,r))}{r}<\infty\] for $\mu$-a.e $x\in X$. We give a complete geometric characterisation of the rectifiable and purely unrectifiable part of a 1-regular measure…

Aim of this paper is to show that it makes sense to write the continuity equation on a metric measure space $(X,d,m)$ and that absolutely continuous curves $\mu_t$ w.r.t. the distance $W_2$ can be completely characterized as solutions of…

We characterize measure spaces such that the canonical map $L_\infty \to L_1^*$ is surjective. In case of $d$ dimensional Hausdorff measure of a complete separable metric space $X$ we give two equivalent conditions. One is in terms of the…

Let $M$ be a compact $n$-dimensional Riemanian manifold, End($M$) the set of the endomorphisms of $M$ with the usual $\mathcal{C}^0$ topology and $\phi: M\to\mathbb{R}$ continuous. We prove that there exists a dense subset of $\mathcal{A}$…

We propose a definition of magnitude for a length space with a Borel measure, which involves integrals over the set of geodesics. This quantity agrees with the magnitude of finite metric spaces, up to re-scaling the metric to ensure the…
