A dual pair formulation for asymmetric locally convex spaces is developed that strictly generalises the ordinary vector space setting. The concept of a polar topology carries over to the asymmetric case and some familiar results are…

This work proves certain general orbifold compactness results for spaces of Riemannian metrics, generalizing earlier results along these lines for Einstein metrics or metrics with bounded Ricci curvature. This is then applied to prove such…

We investigate geometric properties of a metric measure space where every function in the Newton--Sobolev space $N^{1,\infty}(Z)$ has a Lipschitz representative. We prove that when the metric space is locally complete and the reference…

We research proximinality of $\mu$-sequentially compact sets and $\mu$-compact sets in measurable function spaces. Next we show a correspondence between the Kadec-Klee property for convergence in measure and $\mu$-compactness of the sets in…

Let $L(X)$ be the free locally convex space over a Tychonoff space $X$. We show that the following assertions are equivalent: (i) $L(X)$ is $\ell_\infty$-barrelled, (ii) $L(X)$ is $\ell_\infty$-quasibarrelled, (iii) $L(X)$ is…

We characterize $n$-rectifiable metric measure spaces as those spaces that admit a countable Borel decomposition so that each piece has positive and finite $n$-densities and one of the following: is an $n$-dimensional Lipschitz…

The standard arithmetic measures of center, the mean and median, have natural topological counterparts which have been widely used in continuum theory. In the context of metric spaces it is natural to consider the Lipschitz continuous…

We prove that a compact metric space (or more generally an analytic subset of a complete separable metric space) of Hausdorff dimension bigger than $k$ can be always mapped onto a $k$-dimensional cube by a Lipschitz map. We also show that…

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 first identify (up to linear isomorphism) the Lipschitz free spaces of quasiarcs. By decomposing quasiconformal trees into quasiarcs as done in an article of David, Eriksson-Bique, and Vellis, we then identify the Lipschitz free spaces…

We obtain new characterizations for Bergman spaces with standard weights in terms of Lipschitz type conditions in the Euclidean, hyperbolic, and pseudo-hyperbolic metrics. As a consequence, we prove optimal embedding theorems when an…

We introduce the notion of good coverings of metric spaces, and prove that if a metric space admits a good covering, then it has the same locally Lipschitz homotopy type as the nerve complex of the covering. As an application, we obtain a…

We present the characterization of metric spaces that are micro-, macro- or bi-uniformly equivalent to the extended Cantor set $\{\sum_{i=-n}^\infty\frac{2x_i}{3^i}:n\in\IN ,\;(x_i)_{i\in\IZ}\in\{0,1\}^\IZ\}\subset\IR$, which is…

We prove that the space of complete, finite volume, pinched negatively curved Riemannian metrics on a smooth high-dimensional manifold is either empty or it is highly non-connected, provided their behavior at infinity is similar.

A well-known class of questions asks the following: If $X$ and $Y$ are metric measure spaces and $f:X\rightarrow Y$ is a Lipschitz mapping whose image has positive measure, then must $f$ have large pieces on which it is bi-Lipschitz?…

In the absence of the axiom of choice, the set-theoretic status of many natural statements about metrizable compact spaces is investigated. Some of the statements are provable in $\mathbf{ZF}$, some are shown to be independent of…

This paper concerns the self-similarity of topological spaces, in the sense defined in math.DS/0411344. I show how to recognize self-similar spaces, or more precisely, universal solutions of self-similarity systems. Examples include the…

We study projectional skeletons and the Plichko property in Lipschitz-free spaces, relating these concepts to the geometry of the underlying metric space. Specifically, we identify a metric property that characterizes the Plichko property…

Let $D^2$ be the open unit disc in the Euclidean plane and let $G:= Diff(D2; area)$ be the group of smooth compactly supported area-preserving diffeomorphisms of $D^2$. We investigate the properties of G endowed with the autonomous metric.…

In this paper, we define notions of $P_{Z}(S)$-metric and $P_{Z}(S)$-metric space and we show that every $P_{Z}(S)$-metric Space, analogous to an ordinary metric space and generally, a $\Lambda$-metric space, is a topological space, and in…
