It is known that the surface of a cone over the unit disc with large height has smaller distortion than the standard embedding of the 2-sphere in $\mathbb R^3$. In this note we show that distortion minimisers exist among convex embedded…

Bilipschitz invariant theory concerns low-distortion embeddings of orbit spaces into Euclidean space. To date, embeddings with the smallest-possible distortion are known for only a few cases, to include: (a) planar rotations, (b) real phase…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a smooth submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^n$ equipped with the Euclidean (chordal) metric. This note considers the smallest dimension $m$ for which there exists a bi-Lipschitz function $f: \mathcal{M} \mapsto \mathbb{R}^m$…
