We present a streamlined exposition of a construction by R. Chen, A. Poulin, R. Tao, and A. Tserunyan, which proves the treeability of equivalence relations generated by any locally-finite Borel graph such that each component is a…

We prove the "End Curve Theorem," which states that a normal surface singularity $(X,o)$ with rational homology sphere link $\Sigma$ is a splice-quotient singularity if and only if it has an end curve function for each leaf of a good…

In this note various geometric properties of a Banach space $X$ are characterized by means of weaker corresponding geometric properties involving an ultrapower $X^\mathcal{U}$. The characterizations do not depend on the particular choice of…

We define the concept of an ultrametric M\"obius space and use this to characterize nonelementary geodesically complete trees.

In this paper we investigate the geometric properties of quasi-trees, and prove some equivalent criteria. We give a general construction of a tree that approximates the ends of a geodesic space, and use this to prove that every quasi-tree…

It is shown that a locally finite ultrametric space $(X, d)$ is generated by labeled tree if and only if, for every open ball $B \subseteq X$, there is a point $c \in B$ such that $d(x, c) = \operatorname{diam} B$ whenever $x \in B$ and $x…

We consider groups $\mathbb{I}$ of isometries of ultrametric Urysohn spaces $\mathbb{U}$. Such spaces $\mathbb{U}$ admit transparent realizations as boundaries of certain $R$-trees and the groups $\mathbb{I}$ are groups of automorphisms of…

Ultrametric matrices have a rich structure that is not apparent from their definition. Notably, the subclass of strictly ultrametric matrices are covariance matrices of certain weighted rooted binary trees. In applications, these matrices…

We study the conditions under which the isometry of spaces with metrics generated by weights given on the edges of finite trees is equivalent to the isomorphism of these trees. Similar questions are studied for ultrametric spaces generated…

We describe the class of graphs for which all metric spaces with diametrical graphs belonging to this class are ultrametric. It is shown that a metric space $(X, d)$ is ultrametric iff the diametrical graph of the metric $d_{\varepsilon}(x,…

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…

It is shown that the rooted trees $T_X$ and $T_Y$ representing finite ultrametric spaces $X$ and $Y$ are isomorphic if and only if there exists a ball-preserving bijection $F:X\to Y$.

Ultrametric matrices are a class of covariance matrices that arise in latent tree models. As a parameter space in a statistical model, the set of ultrametric matrices is neither convex nor a smooth manifold. Focus in the literature has…

Motivated by the local theory of Banach spaces we introduce a notion of finite representability for metric spaces. This allows us to develop a new technique for comparing the generalized roundness of metric spaces. We illustrate this…

The goal of this work is to decompose random populations with a genealogy in subfamilies of a given degree of kinship and to obtain a notion of infinitely divisible genealogies. We model the genealogical structure of a population by…

We consider unimodular random rooted trees (URTs) and invariant forests in Cayley graphs. We show that URTs of bounded degree are the same as the law of the component of the root in an invariant percolation on a regular tree. We use this to…

We consider isomorphism properties of infinite random geometric graphs defined over a variety of metrics. In previous work, it was shown that for $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the $L_{\infty}$-metric, the infinite random geometric graph is, with…

For arbitrary star graph $S$ with a non-degenerate vertex labeling $l\colon V(S) \to \mathbb{R}^+$ we denote by $d_l$ the corresponding ultrametric on the vertex set $V(S)$ of $S$. We characterize the class $\bf US$ of all ultrametric…

A metric space $X$ is rigid if the isometry group of $X$ is trivial. The finite ultrametric spaces $X$ with $|X| \geq 2$ are not rigid since for every such $X$ there is a self-isometry having exactly $|X|-2$ fixed points. Using the…

Let T=(V,E) be a tree graph with non-negative weights defined on the vertices. A vertex z is called a separating vertex for u and v if the distances of z to u and v are not equal. A set of vertices L\subseteq V is a feasible solution for…
