We give a new proof of the Gromov theorem: For any $C>0$ and integer $n>1$ there exists a function $\Delta_{C,n}$ such that if the Gromov--Hausdorff distance between complete Riemannian $n$-manifolds $V$ and $W$ is not greater than…

The aim of this article is to define and compare several distances (or metrics) between operators acting on different (separable) Hilbert spaces. We consider here three main cases of how to measure the distance between two bounded…
The dual Gromov-Hausdorff propinquity is a generalization of the Gromov-Hausdorff distance to the class of Leibniz quantum compact metric spaces, designed to be well-behaved with respect to C*-algebraic structures. In this paper, we present…
We study the level sets of the distance function from a boundary point of a convex set in Euclidean space. We provide a lower bound for the range of connectivity of the level sets, in terms of the critical points of the distance function in…
Let $S$ be a set of points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ contained in a circle and $P$ an unrestricted point set in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove the number of distinct distances between points in $S$ and points in $P$ is at least…
We prove limit theorems for random walks with $n$ steps in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space as both $n$ and $d$ tend to infinity. One of our results states that the path of such a random walk, viewed as a compact subset of the…
We construct a topology on the class of pointed proper quantum metric spaces which generalizes the topology of the Gromov-Hausdorff distance on proper metric spaces, and the topology of the dual propinquity on Leibniz quantum compact metric…
The concept of $n$-distance was recently introduced to generalize the classical definition of distance to functions of $n$ arguments. In this paper we investigate this concept through a number of examples based on certain geometrical…
The area distance to a convex plane curve is an important concept in computer vision. In this paper we describe a strong link between area distances and improper affine spheres. This link makes possible a better understanding of both…
Distance Geometry is based on the inverse problem that asks to find the positions of points, in a Euclidean space of given dimension, that are compatible with a given set of distances. We briefly introduce the field, and discuss some open…
A half-geodesic is a closed geodesic realizing the distance between any pair of its points. All geodesics in a round sphere are half-geodesics. Conversely, this note establishes that Riemannian spheres with all geodesics closed and…
Graph similarity metrics serve far-ranging purposes across many domains in data science. As graph datasets grow in size, scientists need comparative tools that capture meaningful differences, yet are lightweight and scalable. Graph Relative…
We introduce a hypertopology, induced by an inframetric up to full quantum isometry, on the class of pointed proper quantum metric spaces, which are separable, possibly non-unital, C*-algebras endowed with an analogue of the Lipschitz…
The purpose of this paper is to give a survey on the notions of distance between subsets either of a metric space or of a measure space, including definitions, a classification, and a discussion of the best-known distance functions, which…
The notions of length of a vector field and cosine of the angle between two vector fields over a differentiable manifold with contravariant and covariant affine connections and metrics are introduced and considered. The change of the length…
We consider the notion of Borel reducibility between pseudometrics on standard Borel spaces introduced and studied recently by C\'{u}th, Doucha and Kurka, as well as the notion of an orbit pseudometric, a continuous version of the notion of…
The present paper is devoted to investigation of the isometry group of the Gromov-Hausdorff space, i.e., the metric space of compact metric spaces considered up to an isometry and endowed with the Gromov-Hausdorff metric. The main goal is…
Using Connes distance formula in noncommutative geometry, it is possible to retrieve the Euclidean distance from the canonical commutation relations of quantum mechanics. In this note, we study modifications of the distance induced by a…
To what extent can we distinguish one probability distribution from another? Are there quantitative measures of distinguishability? The goal of this tutorial is to approach such questions by introducing the notion of the "distance" between…
