We show that countable metric spaces always have quantum isometry groups, thus extending the class of metric spaces known to possess such universal quantum-group actions. Motivated by this existence problem we define and study the notion of…

A topological space is iso-dense if it has a dense set of isolated points. A topological space is scattered if each of its non-empty subspaces has an isolated point. In $\mathbf{ZF}$, in the absence of the axiom of choice, basic properties…

We study the metric of minimal area on a punctured Riemann surface under the condition that all nontrivial homotopy closed curves be longer than or equal to $2\pi$. By constructing deformations of admissible metrics we establish necessary…

The purpose of this note is to characterize the asymptotic dimension $asdim(X)$ of metric spaces $X$ in terms similar to Property A of Yu: If $(X,d)$ is a metric space and $n\ge 0$, then the following conditions are equivalent: [a.]…

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 give a new short proof for the uniqueness of the universal minimal space. The proof holds for the uniqueness of the universal object in every collection of topological dynamical systems closed under taking projective limits and…

Motivated by the analysis and geometry of metric-measure structures in infinite dimensions, we study the category of extended metric-topological spaces, along with many of its distinguished subcategories (such as the one of compact spaces).…

In algorithms for finite metric spaces, it is common to assume that the distance between two points can be computed in constant time, and complexity bounds are expressed only in terms of the number of points of the metric space. We…

In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a connection in a plane bundle above a surface to be locally metric. These conditions are easy to be verified in any local chart. Also as a global result we give a necessary…

We call a family $\{Y_1,\dots,Y_I\}$ in Euclidean space an equidistance spacing if $\|y_i - y_j\| = 1$ whenever $y_i \in Y_i, y_j \in Y_j$ and $i \neq j$. In other words, choosing a representative from each set produces a complete distance…

Metric spaces are generalized by many scholars. Recently, Khatami and Mirzavaziri use a mapping called $t$-definer to popularize the triangle inequality and give a generalization of the notion of a metric, which is called a $\star$-metric.…

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a popular technique for mapping a finite metric space into a low-dimensional Euclidean space in a way that best preserves pairwise distances. We study a notion of MDS on infinite metric measure spaces,…

For a metrizable space $X$ of density $\kappa$, let $PM(X)$ be the space of continuous bounded pseudometrics on $X$ endowed with the uniform convergence topology. In this paper, its topology shall be classified as follows: (i) If $X$ is…

Dimensional types of metric scattered spaces are investigated. Revised proofs of Mazurkiewicz-Sierpi\'nski and Knaster-Urbanik theorems are presented. Embeddable properties of countable metric spaces are generalized onto uncountable metric…

A new method of metric space investigation, based on classification of its finite subspaces, is suggested. It admits to derive information on metric space properties which is encoded in metric. The method describes geometry in terms of only…

Let M be an irreducible Riemannian symmetric space. The index of M is the minimal codimension of a (non-trivial) totally geodesic submanifold of M. We prove that the index is bounded from below by the rank of the symmetric space. We also…

Let $ M (X)$ be the ring of all real measurable functions on a measurable space $(X, \mathscr{A})$. In this article, we show that every ideal of $M(X)$ is a $Z^{\circ}$-ideal. Also, we give several characterizations of maximal ideals of…

We address pairs $(X, Y)$ of metric spaces with the following property: for every mapping $f: X \to Y$ the existence of points $x, y \in X$ with $d(f(x),f(y)) > d(x,y)$ implies the existence of $\widetilde{x}, \widetilde{y}\in X$ for which…

According to Kat\vetov (1988), for every infinite cardinal $\mathfrak m$ satisfying ${\mathfrak m}^{\mathfrak n}\leq {\mathfrak m}$ for all ${\mathfrak n}<{\mathfrak m}$, there exists a unique $\mathfrak m$-homogeneous universal metric…

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…
