In spacetime physics, we frequently need to consider a set of all spaces (`universes') as a whole. In particular, the concept of `closeness' between spaces is essential. However, there has been no established mathematical theory so far…

Relational formulations of classical mechanics and gravity have been developed by Julian Barbour and collaborators. Crucial to these formulations is the notion of shape space. We indicate here that the metric structure of shape space allows…

In this paper, we introduce the $\mathcal{F}$-metric space concept, which generalizes the metric space notion. We define a natural topology $\tau_{\mathcal{F}}$ in such spaces and we study their topological properties. Moreover, we…
