We prove that a metric measure space $(X,d,m)$ satisfying finite dimensional lower Ricci curvature bounds and whose Sobolev space $W^{1,2}$ is Hilbert is rectifiable. That is, a $RCD^*(K,N)$-space is rectifiable, and in particular for…

We combine Kirchheim's metric differentials with Cheeger charts in order to establish a non-embeddability principle for any collection $\mathcal C$ of Banach (or metric) spaces: if a metric measure space $X$ bi-Lipschitz embeds in some…

In the present paper we introduce and study the Lipschitz retractional structure of metric spaces. This topic was motivated by the analogous projectional structure of Banach spaces, a topic that has been thoroughly investigated. The more…

We prove that if $E$ is a compact subset of the unit disk ${\mathbb D}$ in the complex plane, if $E$ contains a sequence of distinct points $a_n\not= 0$ for $n\geq 1$ such that $\lim_{n\to\infty} a_n=0$ and for all $n$ we have $ |a_{n+1}|…

Fix $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and $0 < \delta < 1$. We study how large $N$ must be so that every $\delta$-dense subset $\mathcal{D} \subset \{0,1\}^N$ (meaning $|\mathcal{D}| \geq \delta 2^N$) contains the image of a metric embedding $f: \{0,1\}^k…

Let X be a geodesic metric space. Gromov proved that there exists k>0 such that if every sufficiently large triangle T satisfies the Rips condition with constant k times pr(T), where pr(T) is the perimeter T, then X is hyperbolic. We give…

We give a metric characterisation of when the Lipschitz-free space over a separable ultrametric space is a dual Banach space. In the case where the Lipschitz-free space has a predual, we show that this predual is M-embedded if and only if…

A well known result in the analysis of finite metric spaces due to Gromov says that given any $(X,d_X)$ there exists a \emph{tree metric} $t_X$ on $X$ such that $\|d_X-t_X\|_\infty$ is bounded above by twice $\mathrm{hyp}(X)\cdot…

We show that if $(X,d)$ is a metric space which admits a consistent convex geodesic bicombing, then we can construct a conical bicombing on $CB(X)$, the hyperspace of nonempty, closed, bounded, and convex subsets of $X$ (with the Hausdorff…

We prove that the Lipschitz-free space over a countable compact metric space is isometric to a dual space and has the metric approximation property.

We first prove a version of Tietze-Urysohn's theorem for proper functions taking values in non-negative real numbers defined on $\sigma$-compact locally compact Hausdorff spaces. As its application, we prove an extension theorem of proper…

We prove that many completeness properties coincide in metric spaces, precompact groups and dense subgroups of products of separable metric groups. We apply these results to function spaces C_p(X,G) of G-valued continuous functions on a…

We show the equivalence of several characterizations of relative hyperbolicity for metric spaces, and obtain extra information about geodesics in a relatively hyperbolic space. We apply this to characterize hyperbolically embedded subgroups…

We continue to investigate the $k$ nearest neighbour ($k$-NN) learning rule in complete separable metric spaces. Thanks to the results of C\'erou and Guyader (2006) and Preiss (1983), this rule is known to be universally consistent in every…

Given a metric (graph) bundle $X$ over $B$ where all the fibres are strongly relatively hyperbolic and nonelementary we show that, under certain conditions, $X$ is strongly hyperbolic relative to a collection of maximal cone-subbundles of…

We show that every complete metric space is homeomorphic to the precise locus of zeros of an entire analytic map from a Hilbert space to a Banach space. As a corollary, every complete separable metric space is homeomorphic to the precise…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and $H$ a closed subgroup of $G$. Suppose the homogeneous space $G/H$ is effective and has dimension 3 or higher. Consider a $G$-invariant, symmetric, positive-semidefinite, nonzero (0,2)-tensor…

Lipschitz light maps, defined by Cheeger and Kleiner, are a class of non-injective "foldings" between metric spaces that preserve some geometric information. We prove that if a metric space $(X,d)$ has Nagata dimension $n$, then its…

We answer a question of Aharoni by showing that every separable metric space can be Lipschitz 2-embedded into $c_0$ and this result is sharp; this improves earlier estimates of Aharoni, Assouad and Pelant. We use our methods to examine the…

We construct a Lipschitz-free space that is locally almost square but not weakly almost square; this is the first example of such a Banach space. We also prove a result, which indicates that geodesic metric spaces are a potential metric…
