How much can we extend the Assouad embedding theorem?

General Topology 2023-04-25 v1

Abstract

The celebrated Assouad embedding theorem has been known for over 40 years. It states that for any doubling metric space (with doubling constant C0C_0) there exists an integer NN, such that for any α(0.5,1)\alpha\in (0.5,1) there exists a positive constant C(α,C0)C(\alpha,C_0) and an injective function F:XRNF:X\to \mathbb{R}^N such that x,yXC1d(x,y)αF(x)F(y)Cd(x,y)α \forall x,y\in X \quad C^{-1} d(x,y)^{\alpha} \leq \|F(x)-F(y) \| \leq Cd(x,y)^{\alpha} In the paper we use the remetrization techniques to extend the said theorem to a broad subclass of semimetric spaces. We also present the limitations of this extension -- in particular, we prove that in any semimetric space which satisfies the claim of the Assouad theorem, the relaxed triangle condition holds as well, which means that there exists K1K\geq 1 such that x,y,zXd(x,z)K(d(x,y)+d(y,z)). \forall x,y,z\in X \quad d(x,z)\leq K\left( d(x,y)+d(y,z)\right).
