The main result of this article is a geometric interpretation of magnitude, a real-valued invariant of metric spaces. We introduce a Euclidean embedding of a (suitable) finite metric space $X$ such that the magnitude of $X$ can be expressed…

Magnitude is a real-valued invariant of metric spaces, analogous to the Euler characteristic of topological spaces and the cardinality of sets. The definition of magnitude is a special case of a general categorical definition that clarifies…

In this paper we define the magnitude of metric spaces using measures rather than finite subsets as had been done previously and show that this agrees with earlier work with Leinster in arXiv:0908.1582. An explicit formula for the magnitude…

The magnitude of metric spaces does not appear to possess a simple, convenient continuity property, and previous studies have presented affirmative results under additional constraints or weaker notions, as well as counterexamples. In this…

We propose a definition of magnitude for a length space with a Borel measure, which involves integrals over the set of geodesics. This quantity agrees with the magnitude of finite metric spaces, up to re-scaling the metric to ensure the…

We study the geometric significance of Leinster's notion of magnitude for a smooth manifold with boundary of arbitrary dimension, motivated by open questions for the unit disk in $\mathbb{R}^2$. For a large class of distance functions,…

We present several applications of matrix-theoretic inequalities to the magnitude of metric spaces. We first resolve an open problem by showing that the magnitude of any finite metric space of negative type is less than or equal to its…

The metric representation of a vertex $u$ in a connected graph $G$ respect to an ordered vertex subset $W=\{\omega_1, \dots , \omega_n\}\subset V(G)$ is the vector of distances $r(u\vert W)=(d(u,\omega_1), \dots , d(u,\omega_n))$. A vertex…

Integer geometry on a plane deals with objects whose vertices are points in $\mathbb Z^2$. The congruence relation is provided by all affine transformations preserving the lattice $\mathbb Z^2$. In this paper we study circumscribed circles…

We introduce a new kind of Riemannian manifold that includes weakly-, pseudo- and pseudo projective- Ricci symmetric manifolds. The manifold is defined through a generalization of the so called Z tensor; it is named "weakly Z symmetric" and…

Consider a closed Riemannian $n$-manifold $M$ admitting a negatively curved Riemannian metric. We show that for every Riemannian metric on $M$ of sufficiently small volume, there is a point in the universal cover of $M$ such that the volume…

This paper aims to characterize rank-one arithmetic and locally symmetric metrics in the coarsely geometric setting using coarse-geometric commensurators. We provide a positive answer in general under the Hilbert-Smith conjecture and…

The magnitude of a metric space is a real-valued function whose parameter controls the scale of the metric. A metric space is said to have the one-point property if its magnitude converges to 1 as the space is scaled down to a point. Not…

Magnitude is a numerical isometric invariant of metric spaces, whose definition arises from a precise analogy between categories and metric spaces. Despite this exotic provenance, magnitude turns out to encode many invariants from integral…

We introduce a geometric realization of noncommutative singularity resolutions. To do this, we first present a new conjectural method of obtaining conventional resolutions using coordinate rings of matrix-valued functions. We verify this…

We study Leinster's notion of magnitude for a compact metric space. For a smooth, compact domain $X\subset \mathbb{R}^{2m-1}$, we find geometric significance in the function $\mathcal{M}_X(R) = \mathrm{mag}(R\cdot X)$. The function…

Magnitude of a finite metric space and the related notion of magnitude functions on metric spaces is an active area of research in algebraic topology. Magnitude originally arose in the context of biology, where it represents the number of…

It is known that every closed curve of length \leq 4 in R^n (n>0) can be surrounded by a sphere of radius 1, and that this is the best bound. Letting S denote the circle of circumference 4, with the arc-length metric, we here express this…

We define geometric matrix midranges for positive definite Hermitian matrices and study the midrange problem from a number of perspectives. Special attention is given to the midrange of two positive definite matrices before considering the…

We consider a class of graphs subject to certain restrictions, including the finiteness of diameters. Any surjective mapping $\phi:\Gamma\to\Gamma'$ between graphs from this class is shown to be an isomorphism provided that the following…
