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…

An ultrametric defined on a subset S of a metric space X can be extended to X while roughly preserving distances between pairs in S x X.

In the first part of the paper we present and discuss concepts of local and asymptotic hereditary proximity to \ell_1. The second part is devoted to a complete separation of the hereditary local proximity to \ell_1 from the asymptotic one.…

In this paper, we approach the question if some of the separation axioms are equivalent in the class of asymmetric normed spaces. In particular, we make a remark on a known theorem which states that every $T_1$ asymmetric normed space with…

Using a result of Dranishnikov and Smith we prove that, under some conditions, the asymptotic power dimension of a proper metric space coincides with the dimension of its subpower corona.

In this paper I present an elementary construction to prove that any proper metric space can arise as the asymptotic cone of another proper metric space. Furthermore I answer a question of Drutu and Sapir concerning slow ultrafilters.

It is well-known that a paracompact space X is of covering dimension n if and only if any map f from X to a simplicial complex K can be pushed into its n-skeleton. We use the same idea to define dimension in the coarse category. It turns…

Given a bi-invariant metric on a group, we construct a version of an asymptotic cone without using ultrafilters. The new construction, called the directional asymptotic cone, is a contractible topological group equipped with a complete…

This paper is devoted to dualization of dimension-theoretical results from the small scale to the large scale. So far there are two approaches for such dualization: one consisting of creating analogs of small scale concepts and the other…

Building on the work of Avraham, Rubin, and Shelah, we aim to build a variant of the Fra\"iss\'e theory for uncountable models built from finite submodels. With this aim, we generalize the notion of an increasing set of reals to other…

We investigate the relationship between (countable) transfinite iteration and ordinal arithmetic. The nice connection between finite iteration and addition, multiplication, and exponentiation is lost when passing to the transfinite. In this…

Given a metric pair $(X,A)$, i.e. a metric space $X$ and a distinguished closed set $A \subset X$, one may construct in a functorial way a pointed pseudometric space $\mathcal{D}_\infty(X,A)$ of persistence diagrams equipped with the…

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…

We give a short and elementary proof of the fact that every metric space of finite asymptotic dimension can be embedded into a finite product of trees.

We prove several results of the following type: given finite dimensional normed space V there exists another space X with log (dim X) = O(log (dim V)) and such that every subspace (or quotient) of X, whose dimension is not "too small,"…

Let (X,d) be a metric space and m\in X. Suppose that \phi:X\times X\to\mathbold{R} is a nonnegative symmetric function. We define a metric d^{\phi,m} on X which is equivalent to d. If d^{\phi,m} is totally bounded, its completion is a…

We prove in particular that the Lipschitz-free space over a finitely-dimensional normed space is complemented in its bidual. For Euclidean spaces the norm of the respective projection is $1$. As a tool to obtain the main result we establish…

In this paper, we generalize Dranishnikov's asymptotic inductive dimension to the setting of coarse proximity spaces. We show that in this more general context, the asymptotic inductive dimension of a coarse proximity space is bigger or…

For every n, we construct a metric measure space that is doubling, satisfies a Poincare inequality in the sense of Heinonen-Koskela, has topological dimension n, and has a measurable tangent bundle of dimension 1.

Inspired by a classical theorem of topological dimension theory, we prove that every geodesic metric space of asymptotic dimension $n$ containing a bi-infinite geodesic can be coarsely separated by a subset $S$ of asymptotic dimension equal…
