Given an o-minimal structure, we show that every definable (in this structure) mapping that is Lipschitz with respect to the inner metric can be approximated by $\mathscr{C}^1$ mappings that are Lipschitz with respect to the inner metric…

We construct a locally finite graph and a bounded geometry metric space which do not admit a quasi-isometric embedding into any uniformly convex Banach space. Connections with the geometry of $c_0$ and superreflexivity are discussed.

Motivated by noncommutative geometry and quantum physics, the concept of `metric operator field' is introduced. Roughly speaking, a metric operator field is a vector field on a set with values in self tensor product of a bundle of…

In geometric measure theory, there is interest in studying the interaction of measures with rectifiable sets. Here, we extend a theorem of Badger and Schul in Euclidean space to characterize rectifiable pointwise doubling measures in…

Let $X, Y$ be complete metric spaces and $E, F$ be Banach spaces. A bijective linear operator from a space of $E$-valued functions on $X$ to a space of $F$-valued functions on $Y$ is said to be biseparating if $f$ and $g$ are disjoint if…

Given a Banach space $X$ and a real number $\alpha\ge 1$, we write: (1) $D(X)\le\alpha$ if, for any locally finite metric space $A$, all finite subsets of which admit bilipschitz embeddings into $X$ with distortions $\le C$, the space $A$…

Given a metric space (X, d), we continue our study of the distance function x\mapsto d(x,-) and its relation to bi-Lipschitz embeddings of (X, d) into R^N. As application, given a compact metric-measure space (X, d,\mu), we give three…

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…

The n-th symmetric product of a metric space is the set of its nonempty subsets with cardinality at most n, equipped with the Hausdorff metric. We prove that every symmetric product of the line is an absolute Lipschitz retract and admits a…

A closed subset of $\mathbb{R}^q$, definable in some given o-minimal structure, is Lipschitz normally embedded in $\mathbb{R}^q$ if and only if its one-point compactification is Lipschitz normally embedded in the unit sphere ${\bf S}^q$($ =…

In this paper we present new proofs of the non-embeddability of countably branching trees into Banach spaces satisfying property $(\beta_p)$ and of countably branching diamonds into Banach spaces which are $p$-AMUC for $p > 1$. These proofs…

We show that the dual of every infinite-dimensional Lipschitz-free Banach space contains an isometric copy of $\ell_\infty$ and that it is often the case that a Lipschitz-free Banach space contains a $1$-complemented subspace isometric to…

A map f between two metric spaces (X,d_1) and (Y,d_2) is called a coarse embedding of X into Y if there exist two nondecreasing functions phi_1, phi_2:[0,\infty) --> [0,\infty) such that: phi_1(d_1(x,y)) \leq d_2(f(x),f(y)) \leq…

We discuss a new pseudometric on the space of all norms on a finite-dimensional vector space (or free module) $\mathbb{F}^k$, with $\mathbb{F}$ the real, complex, or quaternion numbers. This metric arises from the Lipschitz-equivalence of…

We show that every group $H$ of at most exponential growth with respect to some left invariant metric admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into a finitely generated group $G$ such that $G$ is amenable (respectively, solvable, satisfies a…

We use the theory of quantization to introduce non-commutative versions of metric on state space and Lipschitz seminorm. We show that a lower semicontinuous matrix Lipschitz seminorm is determined by their matrix metrics on the matrix state…

We derive two fixed point theorems for a class of metric spaces that includes all Banach spaces and all complete Busemann spaces. We obtain our results by the use of a 1-Lipschitz barycenter construction and an existence result for…

We introduce two ordinal indices that are linear invariants for Banach spaces: the dyadic tree index and the sprawling tree index. We show that they are also bi-Lipschitz invariants. In fact, we characterize their values in terms of…

If $M$ is a compact smooth manifold and $X$ is a compact metric space, the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(M,X)$ is defined through an isometric embedding of $X$ into a Banach space. We prove that the answer to the question whether Lipschitz…

If $X$ is a metric space, then its finite subset spaces $X(n)$ form a nested sequence under natural isometric embeddings $X = X(1)\subset X(2) \subset \cdots$. It was previously established, by Kovalev when $X$ is a Hilbert space and, by…
