The n-th symmetric product of a metric space is the set of its nonempty subsets with cardinality at most n, equipped with the Hausdorff metric. We prove that every symmetric product of the line is an absolute Lipschitz retract and admits a…
For a finite lattice $\Lambda$, $\Lambda$-ultrametric spaces have, among other reasons, appeared as a means of constructing structures with lattices of equivalence relations embedding $\Lambda$. This makes use of an isomorphism of…
In this paper we study critial isometric and minimal isometric embeddings of classes of Riemannian metrics which we call {\it quasi-$k$-curved metrics}. Quasi-$k$-curved metrics generalize the metrics of space forms. We construct explicit…
On a general open set of the euclidean space, we study the relation between the embedding of the homogeneous Sobolev space $\mathcal{D}^{1,p}_0$ into $L^q$ and the summability properties of the distance function. We prove that in the…
We show, following W. Holsztynski, that there exists a continuous metric d on the set of real numbers R such that any finite metric space is isometrically embeddable into (R,d).
We show the equivalence of several characterizations of relative hyperbolicity for metric spaces, and obtain extra information about geodesics in a relatively hyperbolic space. We apply this to characterize hyperbolically embedded subgroups…
We show that any compact almost-complex manifold of complex dimension m can be pseudo-holomorphically embedded in R^(6m) equipped with a suitable almost-complex structure.
In this work it is shown that a necessary condition for the completeness of the geodesics of left invariant pseudo-Riemannian metrics on Lie groups is also sufficient in the case of 3-dimensional unimodular Lie groups, and not sufficient…
An answer to the question: Can, in general, the adoption of a given symmetry induce a further symmetry, which might be hidden at a first level? has been attempted in the context of differential geometry of locally homogeneous spaces. Based…
In this article, we study the geodesic problem in a generalized metric space, in which the distance function satisfies a relaxed triangle inequality $d(x,y)\leq \sigma (d(x,z)+d(z,y))$ for some constant $\sigma \geq 1$, rather than the…
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing compactness of embeddings of fractional Sobolev spaces, Besov spaces, and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces, in the general context of quasi-metric-measure spaces. Although stated in the…
We generalize the notions of asymptotic dimension and coarse embeddings from metric spaces to quantum metric spaces in the sense of Kuperberg and Weaver. We show that quantum asymptotic dimension behaves well with respect to metric…
We propose a new strong Riemannian metric on the manifold of (parametrized) embedded curves of regularity $H^s$, $s\in(3/2,2)$. We highlight its close relationship to the (generalized) tangent-point energies and employ it to show that this…
For a given metric measure space $(X,d,\mu)$ we consider finite samples of points, calculate the matrix of distances between them and then reconstruct the points in some finite-dimensional space using the multidimensional scaling (MDS)…
Given a metric space (X, d), we continue our study of the distance function x\mapsto d(x,-) and its relation to bi-Lipschitz embeddings of (X, d) into R^N. As application, given a compact metric-measure space (X, d,\mu), we give three…
Starting from the equations of motion in a 1 + 1 static, diagonal, Lorentzian spacetime, such as the Schwarzschild radial line element, I find another metric, but with Euclidean signature, which produces the same geodesics x(t). This…
A natural metric on the space of all almost hermitian structures on a given manifold is investigated.
We prove that each semialgebraic subset of $\R^n$ of positive codimension can be locally approximated of any order by means of an algebraic set of the same dimension. As a consequence of previous results, algebraic approximation preserving…
A standard way of approximating or discretizing a metric space is by taking its Rips complexes. These approximations for all parameters are often bound together into a filtration, to which we apply the fundamental group or the first…
Inspired by some Lorentzian versions of the notion of metric and length space introduced by Kunzinger and S\"amman, and more recently, by M\"uller, and Minguzzi and S\"uhr, we revisit the notion of Lorentzian metric space in order to later…
