A factorization of metric spaces

General Topology 2026-01-13 v3 Metric Geometry

Abstract

We first prove that for every metrizable space XX, for every closed subset FF whose complement is zero-dimensional, the space XX can be embedded into a product space of the closed subset FF and a metrizable zero-dimensional space as a closed subset. Using this theorem, we next show the existence of extensors of metrics and ultrametrics, which preserve properties of metrics such as the completeness, the properness, being an ultrametrics, its fractal dimensions, and large scale structures. This result contains some of the author's extension theorems of ultrametrics.
