A metric space $X$ is {\em injective} if every non-expanding map $f:B\to X$ defined on a subspace $B$ of a metric space $A$ can be extended to a non-expanding map $\bar f:A\to X$. We prove that a metric space $X$ is a Lipschitz image of an…
We observe that embeddings into random metrics can be fruitfully used to study the $L_1$-embeddability of lamplighter graphs or groups, and more generally lamplighter metric spaces. Once this connection has been established, several new…
Let $X$ be Banach space which is not super-reflexive. Then, for each $n\ge1$ and $\varepsilon>0$, we exhibit metric embeddings of the Laakso graph $\mathcal{L}_n$ into $X$ with distortion less than $2+\varepsilon$ and into $L_1[0,1]$ with…
We combine Kirchheim's metric differentials with Cheeger charts in order to establish a non-embeddability principle for any collection $\mathcal C$ of Banach (or metric) spaces: if a metric measure space $X$ bi-Lipschitz embeds in some…
We prove that each sub-Riemannian manifold can be embedded in some Euclidean space preserving the length of all the curves in the manifold. The result is an extension of Nash $C^1$ Embedding Theorem. For more general metric spaces the same…
The main purpose of the paper is to prove the following results: Let $A$ be a locally finite metric space whose finite subsets admit uniformly bilipschitz embeddings into a Banach space $X$. Then $A$ admits a bilipschitz embedding into $X$.…
Main results of the paper: (1) For any finite metric space $M$ the Lipschitz free space on $M$ contains a large well-complemented subspace which is close to $\ell_1^n$. (2) Lipschitz free spaces on large classes of recursively defined…
For every $p\in (0,\infty)$ we associate to every metric space $(X,d_X)$ a numerical invariant $\mathfrak{X}_p(X)\in [0,\infty]$ such that if $\mathfrak{X}_p(X)<\infty$ and a metric space $(Y,d_Y)$ admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into $X$…
We introduce the notions of almost Lipschitz embeddability and nearly isometric embeddability. We prove that for $p\in [1,\infty]$, every proper subset of $L_p$ is almost Lipschitzly embeddable into a Banach space $X$ if and only if $X$…
We give conditions on Gromov-Hausdorff convergent inverse systems of metric measure graphs (and certain higher dimensional inverse systems of metric measure spaces) which imply that the measured Gromov-Hausdorff limit (equivalently, the…
Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a class of Banach spaces and let $T=\{T_\alpha\}_{\alpha\in A}$ be a set of metric spaces. We say that $T$ is a set of {\it test-spaces} for $\mathcal{P}$ if the following two conditions are equivalent: (1)…
For each sequence X of finite-dimensional Banach spaces there exists a sequence H of finite connected nweighted graphs with maximum degree 3 such that the following conditions on a Banach space Y are equivalent: (1) Y admits uniformly…
We give a sufficient condition for a projective metric on a subset of a Euclidean space to admit a bi-Lipschitz embedding into Euclidean space of the same dimension.
We show that there exists a strong uniform embedding from any proper metric space into any Banach space without cotype. Then we prove a result concerning the Lipschitz embedding of locally finite subsets of $\mathcal{L}_{p}$-spaces. We use…
This paper is concerned with embeddings of homogeneous spaces into Euclidean spaces. We show that any homogeneous metric space can be embedded into a Hilbert space using an almost bi-Lipschitz mapping (bi-Lipschitz to within logarithmic…
In the present paper we introduce and study the Lipschitz retractional structure of metric spaces. This topic was motivated by the analogous projectional structure of Banach spaces, a topic that has been thoroughly investigated. The more…
We consider the problem of isometric embedding of metric spaces to the Banach spaces; and introduce and study the remarkable class of so-called linearly rigid metric spaces: these are the spaces that admit a unique, up to isometry, linearly…
We characterize uniformly perfect, complete, doubling metric spaces which embed bi- Lipschitzly into Euclidean space. Our result applies in particular to spaces of Grushin type equipped with Carnot-Carath\'eodory distance. Hence we obtain…
In this note we study the structure of Lipschitz-free Banach spaces. We show that every Lipschitz-free Banach space over an infinite metric space contains a complemented copy of $\ell_1$. This result has many consequences for the structure…
In this paper, we discuss the embeddability of subspaces of the Gromov-Hausdorff space, which consists of isometry classes of compact metric spaces endowed with the Gromov-Hausdorff distance, into Hilbert spaces. These embeddings are…
