The conventional definition of a topological metric over a space specifies properties that must be obeyed by any measure of "how separated" two points in that space are. Here it is shown how to extend that definition, and in particular the…

We consider symmetric and Hermitian random matrices whose entries are independent and symmetric random variables with an arbitrary variance pattern. Under a novel Short-to-Long Mixing condition, which is sharp in the sense that it precludes…

Characterisations of metrizable topological spaces or metrizable uniform spaces are well known. A natural counterpart to being metrizable for topological spaces can be expressed in terms of probabilistic metrizability for approach spaces.…

Metric spaces are a fundamental component of mathematics and have a paramount importance as a framework for measuring distance. They can be found in many different branches of mathematics, such as analysis and topology. This paper offers an…

Distance correlation is a recent extension of Pearson's correlation, that characterises general statistical independence between Euclidean-space-valued random variables, not only linear relations. This review delves into how and when…

We consider finite point subsets (distributions) in compact metric spaces. In the case of general rectifiable metric spaces, non-trivial bounds for sums of distances between points of distributions and for discrepancies of distributions in…

The classical Cauchy completion of a metric space (by means of Cauchy sequences) as well as the completion of a uniform space (by means of Cauchy filters) are well-known to rely on the symmetry of the metric space or uniform space in…

We review the recent experimental evidence on arbitrary values of the speed of light within physical media (interior dynamical problems); we recall that classical (operator) theories with speeds of light different than that in vacuum are…

We consider the notion of Borel reducibility between pseudometrics on standard Borel spaces introduced and studied recently by C\'{u}th, Doucha and Kurka, as well as the notion of an orbit pseudometric, a continuous version of the notion of…

Quasimetric spaces form a natural framework to study distance problems with an inherent directional asymmetry. We introduce a simple novel class of quasimetrics on probability simplices, inspired by the Chebyshev distance. It is shown that…

A metric space has the universal Lipschitz extension property if for each subspace S embedded quasi-isometrically into an arbitrary metric space M there exists a continuous linear extension of Banach-valued Lipschitz functions on S to those…

This paper employs techniques from metric geometry and optimal transport theory to address questions related to the analysis of functional data on metric or metric-measure spaces, which we refer to as fields. Formally, fields are viewed as…

Uniform measures have played a fundamental role in geometric measure theory since they naturally appear as tangent objects. For instance, they were essential in the groundbreaking work of Preiss on the rectifiability of Radon measures.…

The concept of a quasi-metric space arises by relaxing the requirement of the symmetry axiom in the definition of a metric. This small variation alters several structural properties possessed by a standard metric space. This article aims to…

In this paper, we address the problem of constructing a uniform probability measure on $\mathbb{N}$. Of course, this is not possible within the bounds of the Kolmogorov axioms and we have to violate at least one axiom. We define a…
