Linearly rigid metric spaces and the embedding problem

J. Melleray, F. V. Petrov, A. M. Vershik (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We consider the problem of isometric embedding of metric spaces into Banach spaces, and introduce and study the remarkable class of so-called linearly rigid metric spaces: these are the spaces that admit a unique, up to isometry, linearly dense isometric embedding into a Banach space. The first nontrivial example of such a space was given by R. Holmes; he proved that the universal Urysohn space has this property. We give a criterion of linear rigidity of a metric space, which allows us to give a...

Local rigidity of aspherical three-manifolds

Pierre Derbez (2012)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper we construct, for each aspherical oriented 3 -manifold M , a 2 -dimensional class in the l 1 -homology of M whose norm combined with the Gromov simplicial volume of M gives a characterization of those nonzero degree maps from M to N which are homotopic to a covering map. As an application we characterize those degree one maps which are homotopic to a homeomorphism in term of isometries between the bounded cohomology groups of M and N .
