For a metric space $X$ we study metrics on the two copies of $X$. We define composition of such metrics and show that the equivalence classes of metrics are a semigroup $M(X)$ Our main result is that $M(X)$ is an inverse semigroup,…

We construct several examples of compactifications of Einstein metrics. We show that the Eguchi--Hanson instanton admits a projective compactification which is non--metric, and that a metric cone over any (pseudo)--Riemannian manifolds…

We study isometric $G$-spaces and the question of when their maximal equivariant compactification is the Gromov compactification (meaning that it coincides with the compactification generated by the distance functions to points). Answering…

For a metrizable space $X$ of density $\kappa$, let $PM(X)$ be the space of continuous bounded pseudometrics on $X$ endowed with the uniform convergence topology. In this paper, its topology shall be classified as follows: (i) If $X$ is…

A metric space $\mathbf{X}$ is called densely complete if there exists a dense set $D$ in $\mathbf{X}$ such that every Cauchy sequence of points of $D $ converges in $\mathbf{X}$. One of the main aims of this work is to prove that the…

Magnitude homology is an $\mathbf{R}^+$-graded homology theory of metric spaces that captures information on the complexity of geodesics. Here we address the question: when are two metric spaces magnitude homology equivalent, in the sense…

Typical existence result on Ricci-flat metrics is in manifolds of finite geometry, that is, on $F=\bar F-D$ where $\bar F$ is a compact K\"ahler manifold and $D$ is a smooth divisor. We view this existence problem from a different…

We say that a finite metric space $X$ can be embedded almost isometrically into a class of metric spaces $C$, if for every $\epsilon > 0$ there exists an embedding of $X$ into one of the elements of $C$ with the bi-Lipschitz distortion less…

Let M be a complete metric space. It is proved that if the space or scalar-valued bounded continuous functions on M admits an isometric shift, then M is separable.

Let $(X_1,d_1),\dots, (X_N,d_N)$ be metric spaces, where $d_i: X_i \times X_i \rightarrow [0,1]$ is a distance function for $i=1,\dots,N$. Let $\mathcal{X}$ denote the set theoretic product $X_1\times \cdots \times X_N$. Let $\mathcal{G} =…

We show that for each countable simplicial complex P the following conditions are equivalent: (1) $P \in AE(X)$ iff $P \in AE(\beta X)$ for any space X; (2) There exists a P-invertible map of a metrizable compactum X with $P \in AE(X)$ onto…

We present the different distances on tilings of Rd that exist in the literature, we prove that (most of) these definitions are correct (i.e. they indeed define metrics on tilings of Rd ). We prove that for subshifts with finite local…

Successive divisions of compact metric spaces appear in many different areas of mathematics such as the construction of self-similar sets, Markov partitions associated with hyperbolic dynamical systems, dyadic cubes associated with a…

Given a metric space (X, d), we continue our study of the distance function x\mapsto d(x,-) and its relation to bi-Lipschitz embeddings of (X, d) into R^N. As application, given a compact metric-measure space (X, d,\mu), we give three…

Consider a smooth manifold $M$ equipped with a bracket generating distribution $D$. Two sub-Riemannian metrics on $(M,D)$ are said to be projectively (resp. affinely) equivalent if they have the same geodesics up to reparameterization…

For metrizable spaces we replace the notion of almost periodic homeomorphism with a similar notion and verify that the usual characterizations of almost periodic homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces are valid for all metrizable spaces.

Certain semi-Riemannian metrics may be decomposed into a Riemannian part and an isochronal part. We use this idea and an idea of Kasner to construct a manifold in 6+1 Minkowski space with a well known metric. The full embedding we display…

Let $(X,g)$ be a compact Riemannian stratified space with simple edge singularity. Thus a neighbourhood of the singular stratum is a bundle of truncated cones over a lower dimensional compact smooth manifold. We calculate the various…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space which is locally absolutely retract and let $\phi: C(X)\to C(Y, M_n)$ be a unital homomorphism, where $Y$ is a compact metric space with ${\rm dim}Y\le 2.$ It is proved that there exists a sequence of $n$…

This paper investigates spaces equipped with a family of metric-like functions satisfying certain axioms. These functions provide a unified framework for defining topology, uniformity, and diffeology. The framework is based on a family of…
