Let $D$ be a nonempty open set in a metric space $(X,d)$ with $\partial D\neq \emptyset$. Define \begin{equation*} h_{D,c}(x,y)=\log\left(1+c\frac{d(x,y)}{\sqrt{d_D(x)d_D(y)}}\right), \end{equation*} where $d_D(x)=d(x,\partial D)$ is the…

Given a geodesic metric space $X$, we construct a corresponding hyperbolic space, which we call the contraction space, that detects all strongly contracting directions in the following sense; a geodesic in $X$ is strongly contracting if and…

In this paper, we investigate Gromov hyperbolizations of unbounded locally complete and incomplete metric spaces associated with three hyperbolic type metrics: the hyperbolization metric introduced by Ibragimov, the distance ratio metric,…

We show that every quasihyperbolic geodesic in a John space admitting a roughly starlike Gromov hyperbolic quasihyperbolization is a cone arc. This result provides a new approach to the elementary metric geometry question, formulated in…

In this paper, we first prove that any power quasi-symmetry of two metric spaces induces a rough quasi-isometry between their infinite hyperbolic cones. Second, we prove that for a complete metric space $Z$, there exists a point $\omega$ in…

Let $M$ be a compact connected oriented $n-1$ dimensional manifold without boundary. In this work, shape space is the orbifold of unparametrized immersions from $M$ to $\mathbb R^n$. The results of \cite{Michor118}, where mean curvature…

We show that the problem whether a given finite metric space can be embedded into $m$-dimensional rectilinear space can be reformulated in terms of the Gromov--Hausdorff distance between some special finite metric spaces.

Electromagnetic fields which solve the vacuum Maxwell equations in one spacetime are well-known to also be solutions in all spacetimes with conformally-related metrics. This provides a sense in which electromagnetism alone cannot be used to…

This paper extends parts of the results from [P.W.Michor and D. Mumford, \emph{Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal.,} 23 (2007), pp. 74--113] for plane curves to the case of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb R^n$. Let $M$ be a compact connected oriented…

A geometric transition is a continuous path of geometric structures that changes type, meaning that the model geometry, i.e. the homogeneous space on which the structures are modeled, abruptly changes. In order to rigorously study…

Let $(M, \partial M)$ be a compact 3-manifold with boundary which admits a complete, convex co-compact hyperbolic metric. For each hyperbolic metric $g$ on $M$ such that $\dr M$ is smooth and strictly convex, the induced metric on $\dr M$…

We prove that for some manifolds $M$ the set of robustly transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of $M$ with one-dimensional nonhyperbolic centre direction contains a $C^1$-open and dense subset of diffeomorphisms with nonhyperbolic…

In this paper, we study metric trees, without any finiteness restrictions. For subsets of such trees, a condition that guarantees that the Hausdorff and Gromov--Hausdorff distances from the subset to the entire metric tree are the same is…

We study the metric and topological properties of the space $\mathscr{D}(G)$ of left-invariant hyperbolic pseudometrics on the non-elementary hyperbolic group $G$ that are quasi-isometric to a word metric, up to rough similarity. This space…

This work introduces a novel and general class of continuous transforms based on hierarchical Voronoi based refinement schemes. The resulting transform space generalizes classical approaches such as wavelets and Radon transforms by…

Let $(X, d)$ be an unbounded metric space. To investigate the asymptotic behavior of $(X, d)$ at infinity, one can consider a sequence of rescaling metric spaces $(X, \frac{1}{r_n} d)$ generated by given sequence $(r_n)_{n \in \mathbb N}$…

Two pseudo-Riemannian metrics are called projectively equivalent if their unparametrized geodesics coincide. The degree of mobility of a metric is the dimension of the space of metrics that are projectively equivalent to it. We give a…

Gromov hyperbolicity of a metric space measures the distance of the space from a perfect tree-like structure. The measure has a "worst-case" aspect to it, in the sense that it detects a region in the space which sees the maximum deviation…

A natural metric on the space of all almost hermitian structures on a given manifold is investigated.

We consider metrics related to each other by functionals of a scalar field $\varphi(x)$ and it's gradient $\nabla \varphi(x)$, and give transformations of some key geometric quantities associated with such metrics. Our analysis provides…
