In the present paper a distinguishability of bounded metric spaces by the set of the Gromov--Hausdorff distances to so-called simplexes (metric spaces with unique non-zero distance) is investigated. It is easy to construct an example of…

This paper is about similarity between objects that can be represented as points in metric measure spaces. A metric measure space is a metric space that is also equipped with a measure. For example, a network with distances between its…

Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured in 2008 that in any finite metric space either there is a line containing all the points - a universal line -, or the number of lines is at least the number of points. This is a generalization of a classical…

Consider a measurable space with a finite vector measure. This measure defines a mapping of the $\sigma$-field into a Euclidean space. According to Lyapunov's convexity theorem, the range of this mapping is compact and, if the measure is…

We prove that in a Euclidean space of dimension at least two, there exists a compact set of Lebesgue measure zero such that any real-valued Lipschitz function defined on the space is differentiable at some point in the set. Such a set is…

We survey a new area of parameter-free similarity distance measures useful in data-mining, pattern recognition, learning and automatic semantics extraction. Given a family of distances on a set of objects, a distance is universal up to a…

We give a simple example of spacetime metric, illustrating that homogeneity and isotropy of space slices at all moments of time is not obligatory lifted to a full system of six Killing vector fields in spacetime, thus it cannot be…

The inevitable noise in real measurements motivates the problem to continuously quantify the similarity between rigid objects such as periodic time series and proteins given by ordered points and considered up to isometry maintaining…

We show that there exists a natural counterpart of the Gromov-Hausdorff metric in the class of ultrametric spaces. It is proved, in particular, that the space of all ultrametric spaces whose metric take values in a fixed countable set is…

Diversities have been recently introduced as a generalization of metrics for which a rich tight span theory could be stated. In this work we take up a number of questions about hyperconvexity, diversities and fixed points of nonexpansive…

We consider point distributions in compact connected two-point homogeneous spaces (Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank one). All such spaces are known, they are the spheres in the Euclidean spaces, the real, complex and quaternionic…

In this paper, we investigate the set $\mathcal{U}(\mathbb{U})$ of universal and ultrahomogeneous $1$-Lipschitz retractions acting on the Urysohn space as the subspace of the space $\mathcal{R}(\mathbb{U})$ of all $1-$Lipschitz retractions…

Some examples and basic properties of ultrametric spaces are briefly discussed.

A Fuchsian polyhedron in hyperbolic space is a polyhedral surface invariant under the action of a Fuchsian group of isometries (i.e. a group of isometries leaving globally invariant a totally geodesic surface, on which it acts cocompactly).…

We develop an analysis of wavelets and pseudodifferential operators on multidimensional ultrametric spaces which are defined as products of locally compact ultrametric spaces. We introduce bases of wavelets, spaces of generalized functions…

We investigate the interrelations between the metric properties, order properties and combinatorial properties of the set of balls in totally bounded ultrametric space. In particular, the Gurvich-Vyalyi representation of finite, ultrametric…

We prove a general multidimensional invariance principle for a family of U-statistics based on freely independent non-commutative random variables of the type $U_n(S)$, where $U_n(x)$ is the $n$-th Chebyshev polynomial and $S$ is a standard…

In spaces of metrics, we investigate topological distributions of the doubling property, the uniform disconnectedness, and the uniform perfectness, which are the quasi-symmetrically invariant properties appearing in the David--Semmes…

Stolarsky's invariance principle quantifies the deviation of a subset of a metric space from the uniform distribution. Classically derived for spherical sets, it has been recently studied in a number of other situations, revealing a general…
