We study the mean orbital pseudo-metric for Polish dynamical systems and its connections with properties of the space of invariant measures. We give equivalent conditions for when the set of invariant measures generated by periodic points…

In this work, we define the notion of unimodular random measured metric spaces as a common generalization of various other notions. This includes the discrete cases like unimodular graphs and stationary point processes, as well as the…

The Urysohn space is a complete separable metric space, universal among separable metric spaces for extending finite partial isometries into it. We present an alternative construction of the Urysohn space which enables us to show that…

We show how to decompose all separable ultrametric spaces into a "Lego" combinations of scaled versions of full simplices. To do this we introduce metric resolutions of large scale metric spaces, which describe how a space can be broken up…

For every nonempty compact convex subset $K$ of a normed linear space a (unique) point $c_K \in K$, called the generalized Chebyshev center, is distinguished. It is shown that $c_K$ is a common fixed point for the isometry group of the…

We formalize the ``metric bundle'' viewpoint by defining, for any smooth $n$--manifold $M$, the open fiberwise cones $\mathcal{G}^{p,q}\subset S^2\Tstar M$ of nondegenerate symmetric bilinear forms with fixed signature $(p,q)$, and we…

This paper introduces a new metric and mean on the set of positive semidefinite matrices of fixed-rank. The proposed metric is derived from a well-chosen Riemannian quotient geometry that generalizes the reductive geometry of the positive…

We consider metrics which are preserved under a $p$-Wasserstein transport map, up to a possible contraction. In the case $p=1$ this corresponds to a metric which is uniformly curved in the sense of coarse Ricci curvature. We investigate the…

Author developed a uniform model for different spaces where distance and angle measure kinds are parameters. This model is calculus centric, but can also be used in theoretical research. It is useful in the following domains: deduction of…

We verify a conjecture of Vershik by showing that Hall's universal countable locally finite group can be embedded as a dense subgroup in the isometry group of the Urysohn space and in the automorphism group of the random graph. In fact, we…

Finite metric spaces are characterized by a polyhedral cone defined in terms of the positivity of the distance functions and the triangle inequalities. Their classification is based on the decomposition of an associated polyhedral cone,…

Motivated by ideas from the model theory of metric structures, we introduce a metric set theory, $\mathsf{MSE}$, which takes bounded quantification as primitive and consists of a natural metric extensionality axiom (the distance between two…

A strong generalized topological space is an ordered pair $\mathbf{X}=\langle X, \mathcal{T}\rangle$ such that $X$ is a set and $\mathcal{T}$ is a collection of subsets of $X$ such that $\emptyset, X\in \mathcal{T}$ and $\mathcal{T}$ is…

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…

As a natural analog of Urysohn's inequality in Euclidean space, Gao, Hug, and Schneider showed in 2003 that in spherical or hyperbolic space, the total measure of totally geodesic hypersurfaces meeting a given convex body K is minimized…

We introduce a new class of countably infinite random geometric graphs, whose vertices are points in a metric space, and vertices are adjacent independently with probability p if the metric distance between the vertices is below a given…

Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ random matrix with independent rows $R_1(A),\dots,R_n(A)$, and assume that for any $i\leq n$ and any three-dimensional linear subspace $F\subset {\mathbb R}^n$ the orthogonal projection of $R_i(A)$ onto $F$ has…

The main aim of the present set of notes is to give new, short and essentially self-contained proofs of some classical, as well as more recent, results about random walks on groups. For instance, we shall see that the drift characterization…

In this paper we prove an isoperimetric inequality of euclidean type for complete metric spaces admitting a cone-type inequality. These include all Banach spaces and all complete, simply-connected metric spaces of non-positive curvature in…

We prove that uniformly disconnected subsets of metric measure spaces with controlled geometry (complete, Ahlfors regular, supporting a Poincare inequality, and a mild topological condition) are contained in a quasisymmetric arc. This…
