A metric space $(X,d)$ has the de Groot property $GP_n$ if for any points $x_0,x_1,...,x_{n+2}\in X$ there are positive indices $i,j,k\le n+2$ such that $i\ne j$ and $d(x_i,x_j)\le d(x_0,x_k)$. If, in addition, $k\in\{i,j\}$ then $X$ is…

A topological group is minimal if it does not admit a strictly coarser Hausdorff group topology. The Roelcke uniformity (or lower uniformity) on a topological group is the greatest lower bound of the left and right uniformities. A group is…

For a metrizable space $X$, we denote by $\mathrm{Met}(X)$ the space of all metric that generate the same topology of $X$. The space $\mathrm{Met}(X)$ is equipped with the supremum distance. In this paper, for every strongly…

We call a nonempty subset $A$ of a topological space $X$ finitely non-Urysohn if for every nonempty finite subset $F$ of $A$ and every family $\{U_x:x\in F\}$ of open neighborhoods $U_x$ of $x\in F$, $\cap\{\mathrm{cl}(U_x):x\in…

Most research into similarity search in metric spaces relies upon the triangle inequality property. This property allows the space to be arranged according to relative distances to avoid searching some subspaces. We show that many common…

Two cross caps in Euclidean $3$-space are said to be formally isometric if their Taylor expansions of the first fundamental forms coincide by taking a suitable local coordinate system. For a given $C^\infty$ cross cap $f$, we give a method…

An ultrametric defined on a subset S of a metric space X can be extended to X while roughly preserving distances between pairs in S x X.

We study the topology of metric spaces which are definable in o-minimal expansions of ordered fields. We show that a definable metric space either contains an infinite definable discrete set or is definably homeomorphic to a definable set…

The inevitable noise in real measurements motivates the problem to continuously quantify the similarity between rigid objects such as periodic time series and proteins given by ordered points and considered up to isometry maintaining…

We characterise purely $n$-unrectifiable subsets $S$ of a complete metric space $X$ with finite Hausdorff $n$-measure by studying arbitrarily small perturbations of elements of the set of all bounded 1-Lipschitz functions $f\colon X \to…

The homology of an unknown subspace of Euclidean space can be determined from the intrinsic \v{C}ech complex of a sample of points in the subspace, without reference to the ambient Euclidean space. More precisely, given a subspace $X$ of…

Sofic groups generalise both residually finite and amenable groups, and the concept is central to many important results and conjectures in measured group theory. We introduce a topological notion of a sofic boundary attached to a given…

A nonsingular real algebraic variety Y is said to have the approximation property if for every real algebraic variety X the following holds: if f:X-->Y is a C^inf map that is homotopic to a regular map, then f can be approximated in the…

A finite set X in the d-dimensional Euclidean space is called an s-distance set if the set of Euclidean distances between any two distinct points of X has size s. Larman--Rogers--Seidel proved that if the cardinality of a two-distance set…

We obtain several new characterizations of ultrametric spaces in terms of roundness, generalized roundness, strict p-negative type, and p-polygonal equalities (p > 0). This allows new insight into the isometric embedding of ultrametric…

We prove that if an n-dimensional geodesically complete CAT(0) space has Tits boundary sufficiently close to the (n-1)-dimensional standard unit sphere, then it is bi-Lipschiz homeomorphic to the n-dimensional Euclidean space. As an…

In this short note, we give a complete answer to the question of when the generalised F\o lner sets exhibiting property A can be chosen to be subsets of the space itself. More precisely, we prove that this holds for any discrete metric…

We consider decomposition spaces $\R^3/G$ that are manifold factors and admit defining sequences consisting of cubes-with-handles. Metrics on $\R^3/G$ constructed via modular embeddings into Euclidean spaces promote the controlled topology…

A topological space is said to be cardinality homogeneous if every nonempty open subset has the same cardinality as the space itself. Let $X$ and $Y$ be cardinality homogeneous metric spaces of the same cardinality. If there exists a…

We find an upper bound for the asymptotic dimension of a hyperbolic metric space with a set of geodesics satisfying a certain boundedness condition studied by Bowditch. The primary example is a collection of tight geodesics on the curve…
