For a fixed set $X$, an arbitrary \textit{weight structure} $d \in [0,\infty]^{X \times X}$ can be interpreted as a distance assignment between pairs of points on $X$. Restrictions (i.e. \textit{metric axioms}) on the behaviour of any such…

Let $(X, d)$ be an unbounded metric space and let $\tilde r=(r_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ be a sequence of positive real numbers tending to infinity. A pretangent space $\Omega_{\infty, \tilde r}^{X}$ to $(X, d)$ at infinity is a limit of the…

We show that a set of non-negative reals is the distance set of a separable complete metric space if and only if it is either countable or is an analytic set which has 0 as a limit point. We also consider spaces with simpler distance sets.

Vasin (for $n=1$) and Anderson, Lehrb\"ack, Mudarra, and V\"ah\"akangas (arXiv:2209.06284) (for $n>1$) provided a geometric characterization of the sets $E \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ so that $w = \text{dist}(\cdot, E)^{-\alpha}$ is a Muckenhoupt…

We show that whenever a separable subset $S$ of a complete metric space $X$ admits a $d$-dimensional weak tangent field, the set $S$ is close to being $d$-dimensional in the following sense. Whenever $\mu$ is a Borel finite measure on $X$…

We study Polish spaces for which a set of possible distances $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^+$ is fixed in advance. We determine, depending on the properties of $A$, the complexity of the collection of all Polish metric spaces with distances in…

We consider the space of non-expansive mappings on a bounded, closed and convex subset of a Banach space equipped with the metric of uni- form convergence. We show that the set of strict contractions is a {\sigma}-porous subset.

The paper deals with pretangent spaces to general metric spaces. An ltrametricity criterion for pretangent spaces is found and it is closely related to the metric betweenness in the pretangent spaces.

Let $\mathcal{O}_K$ be the ring of integers of an algebraic number field $K$ embedded into $\mathbb{C}$. Let $X$ be a subset of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, and $D(X)$ be the set of the squared distances of two distinct points in…

In metric geometry, the question of whether a distance metric is given by the length of curves can be decided via the existence of midpoints with respect to the metric $d$. We adapt a similar characterization to the setting of Lorentzian…

A separable space is strongly sequentially separable if, for each countable dense set, every point in the space is a limit of a sequence from the dense set. We consider this and related properties, for the spaces of continous and Borel…

We study the distinguishability notion given by Wootters for states represented by probability density functions. This presents the particularity that it can also be used for defining a distance in chaotic unidimensional maps. Based on that…

The aim of this short paper is to offer a complete characterization of all (not necessarily surjective) isometric embeddings of the Wasserstein space $\mathcal{W}_p(\mathcal{X})$, where $\mathcal{X}$ is a countable discrete metric space and…

Generalizing the case of an infinite discrete metric space of finite diameter, we say that a discrete metric space $(X,d)$ is a Kuiper space, if the group of invertible elements of its uniform Roe algebra is norm-contractible. Various…

We show, following W. Holsztynski, that there exists a continuous metric d on the set of real numbers R such that any finite metric space is isometrically embeddable into (R,d).

A space $X$ is said to be $\pi$-metrizable if it has a $\sigma$-discrete $\pi$-base. In this paper, we mainly give affirmative answers for two questions about $\pi$-metrizable spaces. The main results are that: (1) A space $X$ is…

We investigate the $\sigma$-porosity of certain known ideals of subsets of natural numbers. Porosity is a notion of smallness in metric spaces that is stronger than nowhere density. Analogously, $\sigma$-porosity is a strengthening of…

Let (X, d) be a bounded metric space with a base point 0 X , (Y, $\bullet$) be a Banach space and Lip $\alpha$ 0 (X, Y) be the space of all $\alpha$-H{\"o}lderfunctions that vanish at 0 X , equipped with its natural norm (0 < $\alpha$ $\le$…

All spaces are assumed to be separable and metrizable. We show that, assuming the Axiom of Determinacy, every zero-dimensional homogeneous space is strongly homogeneous (that is, all its non-empty clopen subspaces are homeomorphic), with…

A topological space $X$ is called strongly $\sigma$-metrizable if $X=\bigcup_{n\in\omega}X_n$ for an increasing sequence $(X_n)_{n\in\omega}$ of closed metrizable subspaces such that every convergence sequence in $X$ is contained in some…
