We study the geometry of the space of measures of a compact ultrametric space X, endowed with the L^p Wasserstein distance from optimal transportation. We show that the power p of this distance makes this Wasserstein space affinely…

We introduce the categories of quasi-measurable spaces, which are slight generalizations of the category of quasi-Borel spaces, where we now allow for general sample spaces and less restrictive random variables, spaces and maps. We show…

We characterize cofinally Bourbaki quasi-complete metric spaces and their completions in terms of certain Lipschitz-type functions. To this end, we introduce and study a new class of functions, namely strongly uniformly locally Lipschitz…

Quasi-invariant and pseudo-differentiable measures on a Banach space $X$ over a non-Archimedean locally compact infinite field with a non-trivial valuation are defined and constructed. Measures are considered with values in non-Archimedean…

Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold, $N\in \NN$ and $p\ge 1$. We prove that almost everywhere on $x=(x_1,...,x_N)\in M^N$ for Lebesgue measure in $M^N$, the measure $\di \mu(x)=\f1N\sum_{k=1}^N\d_{x_k}$ has a unique $p$-mean $e_p(x)$.…

We consider the numbers of positive and negative eigenvalues of matrices of squared distances between randomly sampled i.i.d. points in a given metric measure space. These numbers and their limits, as the number of points grows, in fact…

Let $(M,d)$ be a bounded countable metric space and $c>0$ a constant, such that $d(x,y)+d(y,z)-d(x,z) \ge c$, for any pairwise distinct points $x,y,z$ of $M$. For such metric spaces we prove that they can be isometrically embedded into any…

A generalization of the classical Sard theorem in the plane is the following. Let $f$ be a function defined on a subset $A\subset{\mathbb R}^2$. If $f$ has modulus of continuity $\omega(r)\lesssim r^2$, then $f(A)\subset{\mathbb R}$ has…

Hyperbolic fillings of metric spaces are a well-known tool for proving results on extending quasi-Moebius maps between boundaries of Gromov hyperbolic spaces to quasi-isometries between the spaces. For CAT(-1) spaces, and more generally…

The Banach space $L^p(X,\mu)$, for $X$ a compact Hausdorff measure space, is considered as a special kind of quasi *-algebra (called CQ*-algebra) over the C*-algebra $C(X)$ of continuous functions on $X$. It is shown that, for $p \geq 2$,…

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…

We study unimodular measures on the space $\mathcal M^d$ of all pointed Riemannian $d$-manifolds. Examples can be constructed from finite volume manifolds, from measured foliations with Riemannian leaves, and from invariant random subgroups…

We discuss a new pseudometric on the space of all norms on a finite-dimensional vector space (or free module) $\mathbb{F}^k$, with $\mathbb{F}$ the real, complex, or quaternion numbers. This metric arises from the Lipschitz-equivalence of…

Given an extended real-valued submeasure $\nu$ defined on a field of subsets $\Sigma$ of a given set, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for which the pseudometric $d_\nu$ defined by $d_{\nu}(A,B):=\min\{1,\nu(A\bigtriangleup…

A topological space $X$ is $strongly$ $rigid$ if each non-constant continuous map $f:X\to X$ is the identity map of $X$. A Hausdorff topological space $X$ is called $Brown$ if for any nonempty open sets $U,V\subseteq X$ the intersection…

In this paper, isometric embedding results of Greene, Gromov and Rokhlin are extended to what are called "indefinite metric polyhedra". Two definitions for an indefinite metric polyhedron are given, an intuitive definition and a more useful…

We show that, given a metric space $(Y,d)$ of curvature bounded from above in the sense of Alexandrov, and a positive Radon measure $\mu$ on $Y$ giving finite mass to bounded sets, the resulting metric measure space $(Y,d,\mu)$ is…

For every metric space $X$ we introduce two cardinal characteristics $\mathrm{cov}^\flat(X)$ and $\mathrm{cov}^\sharp(X)$ describing the capacity of balls in $X$. We prove that these cardinal characteristics are invariant under coarse…

For a metric space $X$ we study metrics on the two copies of $X$. We define composition of such metrics and show that the equivalence classes of metrics are a semigroup $M(X)$ Our main result is that $M(X)$ is an inverse semigroup,…

We demonstrate that the set $L^\infty(X, [-1,1])$ of all measurable functions over a Borel measure space $(X, \mathcal B, \mu )$ with values in the unit interval is typically non-polyhedric when interpreted as a subset of a dual space. Our…
