We prove here a quantitative $h$-principle statement that applies to isotropic embeddings of discs. We then apply it to get $C^0$-flexibility and rigidity results in symplectic geometry. On the flexible side, we prove that a symplectic…

We prove that if an RCD space has a regular isometric immersion in a Euclidean space, then the immersion is a locally bi-Lipschitz embedding map. This result leads us to prove that if a compact non-collapsed RCD space has an isometric…

There are several characterizations of coarse embeddability of a discrete metric space into a Hilbert space. In this note we give such characterizations for general metric spaces. By applying these results to the spaces $L_p(\mu)$, we get…

We show that every group $H$ of at most exponential growth with respect to some left invariant metric admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into a finitely generated group $G$ such that $G$ is amenable (respectively, solvable, satisfies a…

A well-known theorem of Assouad states that metric spaces satisfying the doubling property can be snowflaked and bi-Lipschitz embedded into Euclidean spaces. Due to the invariance of many geometric properties under bi-Lipschitz maps, this…

We show that inclusions of $p$-metric spaces always produce genuine linear embeddings at the level of Lipschitz-free $p$-spaces. More precisely, for every $0<p<1$ and every inclusion $ \mathit{N}\subset \mathit{M}$ of $p$-metric spaces, the…

In this paper we investigate the existence of ``partially'' isometric immersions. These are maps f:M->R^q which, for a given Riemannian manifold M, are isometries on some sub-bundle H of TM. The concept of free maps, which is essential in…

In this paper we use the convex integration technique enhanced by an extra iteration originally due to K\"all\'en and revisited by Kr\"oner to provide a local $h$-principle for isometric embeddings in the class $C^{1,1-\epsilon}$ for…

We extend the results of B. Minemyer by showing that any indefinite metric polyhedron (either compact or not) with the vertex degree bounded from above admits an isometric simplicial embedding into a Minkowski space of the lowest possible…

In this paper we define and study a notion of discrete homology theory for metric spaces. Instead of working with simplicial homology, our chain complexes are given by Lipschitz maps from an $n$-dimensional cube to a fixed metric space. We…

Fix $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and $0 < \delta < 1$. We study how large $N$ must be so that every $\delta$-dense subset $\mathcal{D} \subset \{0,1\}^N$ (meaning $|\mathcal{D}| \geq \delta 2^N$) contains the image of a metric embedding $f: \{0,1\}^k…
