We prove that every proper $n$-dimensional length metric space admits an "approximate isometric embedding" into Lorentzian space $\mathbb{R}^{3n+6,1}$. By an "approximate isometric embedding" we mean an embedding which preserves the energy…

We show that uniform lattices of isometries of products of real hyperbolic spaces act properly discontinuously and cocompactly on a median space. For lattices in products of at least two factors, this is the strongest degree of…

Let $X$ be metrizable, $Y$ be perfectly normal and suppose that there exists a uniformly continuous surjection $T: C_{p}(X) \to C_{p}(Y)$ (resp., $T: C_{p}^*(X) \to C_{p}^*(Y)$), where $C_{p}(X)$ (resp., $C_{p}^*(X)$) denotes the space of…

Urysohn constructed a separable complete universal metric space homogeneous for all finite subspaces, which is today called the Urysohn universal metric space. Some authors have recently investigated an ultrametric analogue of this space.…

Almost-isometries are quasi-isometries with multiplicative constant one. Lifting a pair of metrics on a compact space gives quasi-isometric metrics on the universal cover. Under some additional hypotheses on the metrics, we show that there…

We consider isometric immersions of complete connected Riemannian manifolds into space forms of nonzero constant curvature. We prove that if such an immersion is compact and has semi-definite second fundamental form, then it is an embedding…

The paper is devoted to a categorical study of the category of probabilistic metric spaces. The study is based on an isomorphic description of the category of probabilistic metric spaces. The isomorphic description was obtained in [3] and…

Recently, a notion of the free product $X \ast Y$ of two metric spaces $X$ and $Y$ has been introduced by T. Fukaya and T. Matsuka. In this paper, we study coarse geometric permanence properties of the free product $X \ast Y$. We show that…

We study the space of Riemannian metrics over a compact manifold equipped with the Ebin metric. We characterize its self-isometries and prove that two such spaces are isometric if and only if their underlying manifolds are diffeomorphic.

Rigged Hilbert space of the free coherent states is investigated. We prove that this rigged Hilbert space is isomorphous to the space of generalized functions on p-adic disk. We discuss the relation of the described isomorphism of rigged…

If $X$ is an almost transitive Banach space with amenable isometry group (for example, if $X=L^p([0,1])$ with $1\leqslant p<\infty$) and $X$ admits a uniformly continuous map $X\overset\phi\longrightarrow E$ into a Banach space $E$…

An isometric embedding of a graph into a metric space is an embedding of the vertices such that the smallest number of edges connecting any two vertices equals to the distance in the metric space between the images. In this paper, we study…

In this paper we study the embedding of Riemannian manifolds in low codimension. The well-known result of Nash and Kuiper says that any short embedding in codimension one can be uniformly approximated by $C^1$ isometric embeddings. This…

We prove a version of Whitney's strong embedding theorem for isometric embeddings within the general setting of the Nash-Kuiper h-principle. More precisely, we show that any $n$-dimensional smooth compact manifold admits infinitely many…

We prove that every proper ultrametric space isometrically embeds into $\ell_p$ for any $p\geq 1$. As an application we discuss an $\ell_p$-version of nonlinear Dvoretzky's theorem.

We show that if $K$ is a compact metrizable space with finitely many accumulation points, then the closed unit ball of $C(K)$ is a plastic metric space, which means that any non-expansive bijection from $B_{C(K)}$ onto itself is in fact an…
