We prove that every complete metric space with property (Z) is a length space. These answers questions posed by Garc\'{i}a-Lirola, Proch\'{a}zka and Rueda Zoca, and by Becerra Guerrero, L\'{o}pez-P\'{e}rez and Rueda Zoca, related to the…
We prove that any complete metric space has a unique decomposition as a direct product of a possibly finite or zero-dimensional Hilbert space and a space that does not split off lines.
The center of distances of a metric space $(X,d)$ is the set $C(X)$ of all $t\in \mathbb R^+$ for which the equation $d(x,p)=t$ has a solution for each $p\in X$. We prove the inequality $|C(X)| \le 1 + \lfloor \log_2 n \rfloor$ for all…
For a metrizable space, we consider the space of all metrics generating the same topology of the metrizable space, and this space of metrics is equipped with the supremum metric. In this paper, for every metrizable space, we establish that…
We prove some infinitesimal analogs of classical results of Menger, Schoenberg and Blumenthal giving the existence conditions for isometric embeddings of metric spaces in the finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces.
A classic theorem of Euclidean geometry asserts that any noncollinear set of $n$ points in the plane determines at least $n$ distinct lines. Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured that this holds for an arbitrary finite metric space, with a certain…
Conformal moduli spaces of four-dimensional superconformal theories obtained by deformations of a superpotential are considered. These spaces possess a natural metric (a Zamolodchikov metric). This metric is shown to be Kahler. The proof is…
A finite set of unlabelled points in Euclidean space is the simplest representation of many real objects from mineral rocks to sculptures. Since most solid objects are rigid, their natural equivalence is rigid motion or isometry maintaining…
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 consider finite point subsets (distributions) in compact metric spaces. Non-trivial bounds for sums of distances between points of distributions and for discrepancies of distributions in metric balls are given in the case of general…
Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a popular technique for mapping a finite metric space into a low-dimensional Euclidean space in a way that best preserves pairwise distances. We study a notion of MDS on infinite metric measure spaces,…
We say that a metric graph is uniformly bounded if the degrees of all vertices are uniformly bounded and the lengths of edges are pinched between two positive constants; a metric space is approximable by a uniform graph if there is one…
A metric space $(X,d)$ is called a $subline$ if every 3-element subset $T$ of $X$ can be written as $T=\{x,y,z\}$ for some points $x,y,z$ such that $d(x,z)=d(x,y)+d(y,z)$. By a classical result of Menger, every subline of cardinality $\ne…
A metric space $\mathrm{M}=(M;\de)$ is {\em homogeneous} if for every isometry $\alpha$ of a finite subspace of $\mathrm{M}$ to a subspace of $\mathrm{M}$ there exists an isometry of $\mathrm{M}$ onto $\mathrm{M}$ extending $\alpha$. The…
Enflo constructed a countable metric space that may not be uniformly embedded into any metric space of positive generalized roundness. Dranishnikov, Gong, Lafforgue and Yu modified Enflo's example to construct a locally finite metric space…
In this paper, we introduce a generalization of rectangular $b-$metric spaces, by changing the rectangular inequality as follows \begin{equation*} \rho(x,y)\le \theta(x,y,u,v)[\rho(x,u)+\rho(u,v)+\rho(v,y)], \end{equation*}% for all…

We study the subsets of metric spaces that are negligible for the infimal length of connecting curves; such sets are called metrically removable. In particular, we show that every totally disconnected set with finite Hausdorff measure of…
The concepts of spread and spread dimension of a metric space were introduced by Willerton in the context of quantifying biodiversity of ecosystems. This paper develops practical applications of spread dimension in the context of machine…
