A metric measure space is a metric space with a Borel measure. In Gromov's theory of metric measure spaces, there are important invariants called the partial diameter and the observable diameter. We obtain the result that the partial…
Metrizable spaces are studied in which every closed set is an $\alpha$-limit set for some continuous map and some point. It is shown that this property is enjoyed by every space containing sufficiently many arcs (formalized in the notion of…
The main aim of the article is to show, in the absence of the Axiom of Choice, relationships between the following, independent of $\mathbf{ZF}$, statements: "Every countable product of compact metrizable spaces is separable (respectively,…
Many concrete problems are formulated in terms of a finite set of points in $R^n$ which, via the ambient Euclidean metric, becomes a finite metric space. To obtain information from such a space, it is often useful to associate a graph to…
We define a class of trim metric spaces and show that every finite metric space is the leaf space of a metric forest with trim base.
Every isometry of a finite dimensional euclidean space is a product of reflections and the minimum length of a reflection factorization defines a metric on its full isometry group. In this article we identify the structure of intervals in…
A cubic space is a vector space equipped with a symmetric trilinear form. Two cubic spaces are isogeneous if each embeds into the other. A cubic space is non-degenerate if its form cannot be expressed as a finite sum of products of linear…
Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured in 2008 that in any finite metric space either there is a line containing all the points - a universal line -, or the number of lines is at least the number of points. This is a generalization of a classical…
Let X be a group with identity e, let A be an infinite set of generators for X, and let (X,d_A) be the metric space with the word metric d_A induced by A. If the diameter of the space is infinite, then for every positive integer h there are…
For a family $\mathcal{C}$ of properly embedded curves in the 2-dimensional disk $\mathbb{D}^{2}$ satisfying certain uniqueness properties, we consider convex polygons $P\subset \mathbb{D}^{2}$ and define a metric $d$ on $P$ such that…
In this paper I present an elementary construction to prove that any proper metric space can arise as the asymptotic cone of another proper metric space. Furthermore I answer a question of Drutu and Sapir concerning slow ultrafilters.
In this paper, we define notions of $P_{Z}(S)$-metric and $P_{Z}(S)$-metric space and we show that every $P_{Z}(S)$-metric Space, analogous to an ordinary metric space and generally, a $\Lambda$-metric space, is a topological space, and in…
In a separably connected space any two points are contained in a separable connected subset. We show a mechanism that takes a connected bounded metric space and produces a complete connected metric space whose separablewise components form…
We characterize $n$-rectifiable metric measure spaces as those spaces that admit a countable Borel decomposition so that each piece has positive and finite $n$-densities and one of the following: is an $n$-dimensional Lipschitz…
It is well-known that a metric space $(X, d)$ is complete iff the set $X$ is closed in every metric superspace of $(X, d)$. For a given pseudometric space $(Y, \rho)$, we describe the maximal class $\mathbf{CEC}(Y, \rho)$ of superspaces of…
We show that there are uncountably many mutually non-isomorphic Lipschitz-free spaces over countable, complete, discrete metric spaces. Also there is a countable, complete, discrete metric space whose free space does not embed into the free…
Given any countable group $G$, we construct uncountably many quasi-isometry classes of proper geodesic metric spaces with quasi-isometry group isomorphic to $G$. Moreover, if the group $G$ is a hyperbolic group, the spaces we construct are…
We define thin and asymptotically scattered metric spaces as asymptotic counterparts of discrete and scattered metric spaces respectively. We characterize asymptotically scattered spaces in terms of prohibited subspaces, and classify thin…
A fundamental assumption in our understanding of material rheology is that when microscopic deformations are reversible, the material responds elastically to external loads. Plasticity, i.e. dissipative and irreversible macroscopic changes…
A topological space $X$ is cometrizable if it admits a weaker metrizable topology such that each point $x\in X$ has a (not necessarily open) neighborhood base consisting of metrically closed sets. We study the relation of cometrizable…
