Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space and let $\mathcal{M}(X)$ denote the space of all finite signed Borel measures on $X$. Define $I \colon \mathcal{M}(X) \to \R$ by $I(mu) = \int_X \int_X d(x,y) d\mu(x) d\mu(y)$, and set $M(X) = \sup…

A metric space is plastic if all its non-expansive bijections are isometries. We prove three main results: (1) every countable dense subspace of a normed space is not plastic, (2) every $k$-crowded separable metric space contains a plastic…

Recently many papers on cone metric spaces have been appeared, and main topological properties of such spaces have been obtained. A cone metric space is Hausdorff, and first countable, so the topology of it coincides with a topology induced…

We consider an action of a countable amenable group on a compact metric space, focusing on the set of generic points with respect to a fixed F{\o}lner sequence. For a given characteristic class, we prove that the set of points that are…

In this paper we address the question whether in a given Banach space, a Chebyshev center of a nonempty bounded subset can be a farthest point of the set. Our exploration reveals that the answer depends on the convexity properties of the…

For any countable $CW$-complex $K$ and a cardinal number $\tau\geq\omega$ we construct a completely metrizable space $X(K,\tau)$ of weight $\tau$ with the following properties: $\e X(K,\tau)\leq K$, $X(K,\tau)$ is an absolute extensor for…

Let $C_b(K)$ be the set of all bounded continuous (real or complex) functions on a complete metric space $K$ and $A$ a closed subspace of $C_b(K)$. Using the variational method, it is shown that the set of all strong peak functions in $A$…

The paper deals with various centering problems for probability measures on finite dimensional vector spaces. We show that for every such measure there exists a vector $h$ satisfying $\mu*\delta(h)=S(\mu*\delta (h))$ for each symmetry $S$…

We show that if $K$ is a compact metrizable space with finitely many accumulation points, then the closed unit ball of $C(K)$ is a plastic metric space, which means that any non-expansive bijection from $B_{C(K)}$ onto itself is in fact an…

For a non-compact metrizable space $X$, let ${\mathcal E}(X)$ be the set of all one-point metrizable extensions of $X$, and when $X$ is locally compact, let ${\mathcal E}_K(X)$ denote the set of all locally compact elements of ${\mathcal…

In this paper,\ the authors define a space with an uniform base at non-isolated points, give some characterizations of images of metric spaces by boundary-compact maps, and study certain relationship among spaces with special base…

We prove that in a Euclidean space of dimension at least two, there exists a compact set of Lebesgue measure zero such that any real-valued Lipschitz function defined on the space is differentiable at some point in the set. Such a set is…

By a recent result of Juh\'{a}sz and van Mill, a locally compact topological group whose dense subspaces are all separable is metrizable. In this note we investigate the following question: is every locally compact group having all dense…

We show that if $X$ is a complete metric space with uniform relative normal structure and $G$ is a subgroup of the isometry group of $X$ with bounded orbits, then there is a point in $X$ fixed by every isometry in $G$. As a corollary, we…

We survey some old and new results concerning the classification of complete metric spaces up to isometry, a theme initiated by Gromov, Vershik and others. All theorems concerning separable spaces appeared in various papers in the last…

We show that the set of points of an overt closed subspace of a metric completion of a Bishop-locally compact metric space is located. Consequently, if the subspace is, moreover, compact, then its collection of points is Bishop compact.

The main purpose of this paper is to study complex valued metric-like spaces as an extension of metric-like spaces, complex valued partial metric spaces, partial metric spaces, complex valued metric spaces and metric spaces. In this…

We introduce an universum of the Polish (=complete separable metric) space - the convex cone of distance matrices and study its geometry. It happened that the generic Polish spaces in this sense of this universum is so called Urysohn spaces…

In this paper we introduce and study so-called $k^*$-metrizable spaces forming a new class of generalized metric spaces, and display various applications of such spaces in topological algebra, functional analysis, and measure theory. By…

We describe the norming sets for the space of global holomorphic sections to a $k$-power of a positive holomorphic line bundle on a compact complex manifold $X$. We characterize in metric terms the sequence of measurable subsets…
