Totally bounded ultrametric spaces generated by labeled rays

Abstract

We will say that an infinite tree TT is almost a ray if TT is the union of a ray and a finite tree. Let ll be a non-degenerate labeling of the vertex set VV of almost a ray TT and let dld_l be the corresponding ultrametric on VV. It is shown that the ultrametric space (V,dl)(V, d_l) is totally bounded iff this space contains an infinite totally bounded subspace. We also prove that the last property characterizes the almost rays.
