Successive divisions of compact metric spaces appear in many different areas of mathematics such as the construction of self-similar sets, Markov partitions associated with hyperbolic dynamical systems, dyadic cubes associated with a…

In this paper we provide several \emph{metric universality} results. We exhibit for certain classes $\cC$ of metric spaces, families of metric spaces $(M_i, d_i)_{i\in I}$ which have the property that a metric space $(X,d_X)$ in $\cC$ is…

We observe that the category of topological space, uniform spaces, and simplicial sets are all, in a natural way, full subcategories of the same larger category, namely the simplicial category of filters; this is, moreover, implicit in the…

We prove a general principle satisfied by weakly precompact sets of Lipschitz-free spaces. By this principle, certain infinite dimensional phenomena in Lipschitz-free spaces over general metric spaces may be reduced to the same phenomena in…

This research is motivated by the study of the geometry of fractal sets and is focused on uniformization problems: transformation of sets to canonical sets, using maps that preserve the geometry in some sense. More specifically, the main…

Let $X$ be a noncomplete metric space satisfying the usual (local) assumptions of a doubling property and a Poincar\'e inequality. We study extensions of Newtonian Sobolev functions to the completion $\widehat{X}$ of $X$ and use them to…

The Baire category theorem states that every complete pseudometric space is a Baire space. There are some results in metric spaces which have their analogue in uniform spaces, however this is not one of them. Nonetheless, since the Baire…

In our previous paper "Bruhat-Tits theory from Berkovich's point of view. I ? Realizations and compactifications of buildings", we investigated realizations of the Bruhat-Tits building B(G,k) of a connected and reductive linear algebraic…

We solve the classical problem of Plateau in every metric space which is $1$-complemented in an ultra-completion of itself. This includes all proper metric spaces as well as many locally non-compact metric spaces, in particular, all dual…

We prove a compactness theorem for metrics with Bounded Integral Curvature on a fixed closed surface $\Sigma$. As a corollary, we obtain a compactification of the space of Riemannian metrics with conical singularities, where an accumulation…

We define a compactification of symmetric spaces of noncompact type, seen as spaces of isometry classes of marked lattices, analogous to the Thurston compactification of the Teichm\"uller space, and we show that it is equivariantly…

A self-map $T$ of a $\nu$-generalized metric space $(X,d\,)$ is said to be a Ciric-Matkowski contraction if $d(Tx,Ty)<d(x,y)$, for $x\neq y$, and, for every $\epsilon>0$, there is $\delta>0$ such that $d(x,y)<\delta+\epsilon$ implies…

Given a Hermitian symmetric space $M$ of noncompact type, we give a complete description of the horofunctions in the metric compactification of $M$ with respect to the Carath\'eodory distance, via the realisation of $M$ as the open unit…

An action of a topological semigroup S on X is compactifiable if this action is a restriction of a jointly continuous action of S on a Hausdorff compact space Y. A topological semigroup S is compactifiable if the left action of S on itself…

Teramoto et al. defined a new measure called the gap ratio that measures the uniformity of a finite point set sampled from $\cal S$, a bounded subset of $\mathbb{R}^2$. We generalize this definition of measure over all metric spaces by…

To give characterizations of monotonically countably paracompact spaces with set-valued maps, Yamazaki [22] introduced the notion of strictly increasing closed cover of a topological space with which the boundedness of a set-valued map was…

We introduce and investigate a topological version of St\"ackel's 1907 characterization of finite sets, with the goal of obtaining an interesting notion that characterizes usual compactness (or a close variant of it). Define a $T_2$…

We provide a compactness criterion for the set of laws $\mathfrak{P}^{ac}_{sem}(\Theta)$ on the Skorokhod space for which the canonical process $X$ is a semimartingale having absolutely continuous characteristics with differential…

We show that for a metric space with an even number of points there is a 1-Lipschitz map to a tree-like space with the same matching number. This result gives the first basic version of an unoriented Kantorovich duality. The study of the…

We prove that, given an $RCD^{*}(K,N)$-space $(X,d,m)$, then it is possible to $m$-essentially cover $X$ by measurable subsets $(R_{i})_{i\in \mathbb{N}}$ with the following property: for each $i$ there exists $k_{i} \in \mathbb{N}\cap…
