We give an answer to the following question: for which metric in an abstract lattice the completion as a metric space coincides with the completion as a lattice. We obtain the answer for inductive limits of lattices which are complete in…
In this article, we introduce the concept of lexicographic metric space and, after discussing some basic properties of these metric spaces, such as completeness, boundedness, compactness and separability, we obtain a formula for the metric…
The classical Cauchy completion of a metric space (by means of Cauchy sequences) as well as the completion of a uniform space (by means of Cauchy filters) are well-known to rely on the symmetry of the metric space or uniform space in…
These informal notes were prepared in connection with a lecture at a high school mathematics tournament, and provide an overview of some examples of metric spaces and a few of their basic properties.
A new method of metric space investigation, based on classification of its finite subspaces, is suggested. It admits to derive information on metric space properties which is encoded in metric. The method describes geometry in terms of only…
In this paper, we present a constructive generalization of metric and uniform spaces by introducing a new class of spaces, called cover spaces. These spaces form a topological concrete category with a full reflective subcategory of complete…
Motivated by the analysis and geometry of metric-measure structures in infinite dimensions, we study the category of extended metric-topological spaces, along with many of its distinguished subcategories (such as the one of compact spaces).…
Metric spaces satisfying properties stronger than completeness and weaker than compactness have been studied by many authors over the years. One such significant family is that of cofinally complete metric spaces. We discuss the…
In this article, we present a new characterization of the completeness of a partial metric space--which we call \textit{orbital characterization}-- using fixed point results.
The concept of a $ C $*-algebra-valued metric space was introduced in 2014. It is a generalization of a metric space by replacing the set of real numbers by a $ C $*-algebra. In this paper, we show that $ C $*-algebra-valued metric spaces…
A generalization of metric space is presented which is shown to admit a theory strongly related to that of ordinary metric spaces. To avoid the topological effects related to dropping any of the axioms of metric space, first a new, and…
It is well-known that a metric space $(X, d)$ is complete iff the set $X$ is closed in every metric superspace of $(X, d)$. For a given pseudometric space $(Y, \rho)$, we describe the maximal class $\mathbf{CEC}(Y, \rho)$ of superspaces of…
Finite metric spaces arise in many different contexts. Enormous bodies of data, scientific, commercial and others can often be viewed as large metric spaces. It turns out that the metric of graphs reveals a lot of interesting information.…
In this paper we look at normed spaces of differentiable functions on compact plane sets, including the spaces of infinitely differentiable functions originally considered by Dales and Davie. For many compact plane sets the classical…
The magnitude of a metric space is a novel invariant that provides a measure of the 'effective size' of a space across multiple scales, while also capturing numerous geometrical properties, such as curvature, density, or entropy. We develop…
We describe the canonical correspondence between set of all finite metric spaces and set of special symmetric convex polytopes, and formulate the problem about classification of the metric spaces in terms of combinatorial structure of those…
The question of what should be meant by a measurement is tackled from a mathematical perspective whose physical interpretation is that a measurement is a fundamental process via which a finite amount of classical information is produced.…
This paper introduces a novel generalization of the classical concept of $S$-metric spaces, referred to as composed $S$-metric spaces. By incorporating a composed function, we impose more general conditions on the triangle inequality,…
We use a generic notion of flatness in the enriched context to define various completions of metric spaces -- enrichments over [0,\infty] -- and preorders -- enrichments over 2. We characterize the weights of colimits commuting in…
In spacetime physics, we frequently need to consider a set of all spaces (`universes') as a whole. In particular, the concept of `closeness' between spaces is essential. However, there has been no established mathematical theory so far…
