We devise a new embedding technique, which we call measured descent, based on decomposing a metric space locally, at varying speeds, according to the density of some probability measure. This provides a refined and unified framework for the…

In this paper we extend certain central results of zero dimensional systems to higher dimensions. The first main result shows that if (Y,f) is a finitely presented system, then there exists a Smale space (X,F) and a u-resolving factor map…

Working on doubling metric spaces, we construct generalised dyadic cubes adapting ultrametric structure. If the space is complete, then the existence of such cubes and the mass distribution principle lead into a simple proof for the…

We consider extensions of quasiconformal maps and the uniformization theorem to the setting of metric spaces $X$ homeomorphic to $\mathbb R^2$. Given a measure $\mu$ on such a space, we introduce $\mu$-quasiconformal maps $f:X \to \mathbb…

In this paper, generalized metrics mean metrics taking values in general linearly ordered Abelian groups. Using the Hahn fields, we first prove that for every generalized metric space, if the set of the Archimedean equivalence classes of…

Using the wedge sum of metric spaces, for all compact metrizable spaces, we construct a topological embedding of the compact metrizable space into the set of all metric trees in the Gromov--Hausdorff space with finite prescribed values. As…

In the first part, we further advance the study of category theory in a strong balanced factorization category C [Pisani, 2008], a finitely complete category endowed with two reciprocally stable factorization systems such that X \to 1 is in…

Associated to any affine space A endowed with a metric structure of arbitrary signature we consider the space of affine functionals operating on the space of quadratic functions of A. On this functional space we characterize a symmetric…

We have shown recently that, given a metric space $X$, the coarse equivalence classes of metrics on the two copies of $X$ form an inverse semigroup $M(X)$. Here we study the property of idempotents in $M(X)$ of being finite or infinite,…

If $\phi$ is a submeasure satisfying an appropriate lower estimate we give a quantitative result on the total mass of a measure $\mu$ satisfying $0\le\mu\le\phi.$ We give a dual result for supermeasures and then use these results to…

We study metric spaces that admit a conical bicombing and thus obey a weak form of non-positive curvature. Prime examples of such spaces are injective metric spaces. In this article we give a complete characterization of complete metric…

A mapping $f:X\to Y$ between metric spaces is called \emph{little Lipschitz} if the quantity $$ \operatorname{lip}(f(x)=\liminf_{r\to0}\frac{\operatorname{diam} f(B(x,r))}{r} $$ is finite for every $x\in X$. We prove that if a compact (or,…

In the paper we are dealing with metric measure spaces of diameter at most one and of total measure one. Gromov introduced the sampling compactification of the set of these spaces. He asked whether the metric measure space invariants extend…

A construction of product measures is given for an arbitrary sequence of measure spaces via outer measure techniques without imposing any condition on the underlying measure spaces. This approach concludes finally the problem of the…

A metric space is said to be strongly rigid if no positive distance is taken twice by the metric. In 1972, Janos proved that a separable metrizable space has a strongly rigid metric if and only if it is zero-dimensional. In this paper, we…

We present a short and self-contained proof of the extension property for partial isometries of the class of all finite metric spaces.

We study measures on compact spaces by analyzing the properties of fibers of continuous mappings into 2^omega. We show that if a compact zerodimensional space K carries a measure of uncountable Maharam type, then such a mapping has a…

A space X is finite dimensional, locally compact and separable metrizable if and only if X has a finite basic family: continuous functions Phi_1,...,Phi_n of X to the reals, R, such that for all continuous f from X to R there are g_1,...,…

The aim of the paper is to prove that if $M$ is a metrizable manifold modelled on a Hilbert space of dimension $\alpha \geq \aleph_0$ and $F$ is its $\sigma$-$Z$-set, then for every completely metrizable space $X$ of weight no greater than…

Let $ (X,d) $ be a metric space. We study a metric $ d_0 $ on $ X $ naturally derived from $ d $. If $ (X,d) $ is complete and locally compact, or if it is complete and $ (d_0)_0=d_0 $, then $ d_0 $ coincides with the length metric induced…
