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…

On a complete, connected, locally compact, non-compact geodesic space $(X,d)$, we assign each compact set a distance-like function. With the help of these functions, we obtain a pseudo-metric on the space of (non-empty) compact subsets of…

In this paper we make a survey of some recent developments of the theory of Sobolev spaces $W^{1,q}(X,\sfd,\mm)$, $1<q<\infty$, in metric measure spaces $(X,\sfd,\mm)$. In the final part of the paper we provide a new proof of the…

The tensorization problem for Sobolev spaces asks for a characterization of how the Sobolev space on a product metric measure space $X\times Y$ can be determined from its factors. We show that two natural descriptions of the Sobolev space…

We investigate when the local Lipschitz property of the real-valued function $g(z) = d_Y (f(z),A)$ implies the global Lipschitz property of the mapping $f:X\to Y$ between the metric spaces $(X,d_X)$ and $(Y,d_Y)$. Here, $d_Y(y,A)$ denotes…

Given a compact metric space $X$, the collection of Borel probability measures on $X$ can be made into a compact metric space via the Kantorovich metric. We partially generalize this well known result to projection-valued measures. In…

The classical Cauchy completion of a metric space (by means of Cauchy sequences) as well as the completion of a uniform space (by means of Cauchy filters) are well-known to rely on the symmetry of the metric space or uniform space in…

We study universal approximation of continuous functionals on compact subsets of products of Hilbert spaces. We prove that any such functional can be uniformly approximated by models that first take finitely many continuous linear…

An action of a compact quantum group on a compact metric space $(X,d)$ is (D)-isometric if the distance function is preserved by a diagonal action on $X\times X$. We show that an isometric action in this sense has the following additional…

For any countable $CW$-complex $K$ and a cardinal number $\tau\geq\omega$ we construct a completely metrizable space $X(K,\tau)$ of weight $\tau$ with the following properties: $\e X(K,\tau)\leq K$, $X(K,\tau)$ is an absolute extensor for…

For a metric space $X$, we study the space $D^{\infty}(X)$ of bounded functions on $X$ whose infinitesimal Lipschitz constant is uniformly bounded. $D^{\infty}(X)$ is compared with the space $\LIP^{\infty}(X)$ of bounded Lipschitz functions…

The aim of the paper is to characterize (pre)compactness in the spaces of Lipschitz/H\"older continuous mappings acting from a compact metric space to a normed space. To this end some extensions and generalizations of already existing…

Consider the semialgebraic structure over the real field. More generally, let an ominimal structure be over a real closed field. We show that a definable metric space X with a definable metric d is embedded into a Euclidean space so that…

We discuss some notions of compactness and convergence relative to a specified family F of subsets of some topological space X. The two most interesting particular cases of our construction appear to be the following ones. (1) The case in…

In this paper for superparacompact complete metrizable spaces the Freudenthal's theorem for compact irreducible standard polyhedric representation is generalized. Furthermore, for superparacompact metric spaces are reinforced: 1) the…

We investigate the relationship between the compactness of embeddings of Sobolev spaces built upon rearrangement-invariant spaces into rearrangement-invariant spaces endowed with $d$-Ahlfors measures under certain restriction on the speed…

Regularity properties of the pressure are related to phase transitions. In this article we study thermodynamic formalism for systems defined in non-compact phase spaces, our main focus being countable Markov shifts. We produce metric…

We investigate geometric properties of a metric measure space where every function in the Newton--Sobolev space $N^{1,\infty}(Z)$ has a Lipschitz representative. We prove that when the metric space is locally complete and the reference…

The space of closed subgroups of a locally compact topological group is endowed with a natural topology, called the Chabauty topology. Let X be a symmetric space of noncompact type, and G be its group of isometries. The space X identifies…
