Wijsman hyperspaces of non-separable metric spaces

Rodrigo Hernández-Gutiérrez, Paul J. Szeptycki (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Given a metric space ⟨X,ρ⟩, consider its hyperspace of closed sets CL(X) with the Wijsman topology τ W ( ρ ) . It is known that C L ( X ) , τ W ( ρ ) is metrizable if and only if X is separable, and it is an open question by Di Maio and Meccariello whether this is equivalent to C L ( X ) , τ W ( ρ ) being normal. We prove that if the weight of X is a regular uncountable cardinal and X is locally separable, then C L ( X ) , τ W ( ρ ) is not normal. We also solve some questions by Cao, Junnila and Moors regarding isolated points in Wijsman hyperspaces. ...

The AR-Property of the spaces of closed convex sets

Katsuro Sakai, Masato Yaguchi (2006)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let C o n v H ( X ) , C o n v A W ( X ) and C o n v W ( X ) be the spaces of all non-empty closed convex sets in a normed linear space X admitting the Hausdorff metric topology, the Attouch-Wets topology and the Wijsman topology, respectively. We show that every component of C o n v H ( X ) and the space C o n v A W ( X ) are AR. In case X is separable, C o n v W ( X ) is locally path-connected.

On isometrical extension properties of function spaces

Hisao Kato (2015)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

In this note, we prove that any “bounded” isometries of separable metric spaces can be represented as restrictions of linear isometries of function spaces C ( Q ) and C ( Δ ) , where Q and Δ denote the Hilbert cube [ 0 , 1 ] and a Cantor set, respectively.

Differential equations in metric spaces

Jacek Tabor (2002)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

We give a meaning to derivative of a function u X , where X is a complete metric space. This enables us to investigate differential equations in a metric space. One can prove in particular Gronwall’s Lemma, Peano and Picard Existence Theorems, Lyapunov Theorem or Nagumo Theorem in metric spaces. The main idea is to define the tangent space 𝒯 x X of x X . Let u , v [ 0 , 1 ) X , u ( 0 ) = v ( 0 ) be continuous at zero. Then by the definition u and v are in the same equivalence class if they are tangent at zero, that is if lim h 0 + d ( u ( h ) , v ( h ) ) h = 0 . By...

The discriminant and oscillation lengths for contact and Legendrian isotopies

Vincent Colin, Sheila Sandon (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We define an integer-valued non-degenerate bi-invariant metric (the discriminant metric) on the universal cover of the identity component of the contactomorphism group of any contact manifold. This metric has a very simple geometric definition, based on the notion of discriminant points of contactomorphisms. Using generating functions we prove that the discriminant metric is unbounded for the standard contact structures on 2 n × S 1 and P 2 n + 1 . On the other hand we also show by elementary arguments...

Extending generalized Whitney maps

Ivan Lončar (2017)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

For metrizable continua, there exists the well-known notion of a Whitney map. If X is a nonempty, compact, and metric space, then any Whitney map for any closed subset of 2 X can be extended to a Whitney map for 2 X [3, 16.10 Theorem]. The main purpose of this paper is to prove some generalizations of this theorem.

Pairs of convex bodies in a hyperspace over a Minkowski two-dimensional space joined by a unique metric segment

Agnieszka Bogdewicz, Jerzy Grzybowski (2009)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Let ( , | | · | | ) be a Minkowski space with a unit ball and let ϱ H be the Hausdorff metric induced by | | · | | in the hyperspace of convex bodies (nonempty, compact, convex subsets of ℝ). R. Schneider [RSP] characterized pairs of elements of which can be joined by unique metric segments with respect to ϱ H B for the Euclidean unit ball Bⁿ. We extend Schneider’s theorem to the hyperspace ( ² , ϱ H ) over any two-dimensional Minkowski space.

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let X be a locally compact, separable metric space. We prove that d i m T X = i n f d i m L X ' : X ' i s h o m e o m o r p h i c t o X , where d i m L X and d i m T X stand for the concentration dimension and the topological dimension of X, respectively.

Metric unconditionality and Fourier analysis

Stefan Neuwirth (1998)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We investigate several aspects of almost 1-unconditionality. We characterize the metric unconditional approximation property (umap) in terms of “block unconditionality”. Then we focus on translation invariant subspaces L E p ( ) and C E ( ) of functions on the circle and express block unconditionality as arithmetical conditions on E. Our work shows that the spaces p E ( ) , p an even integer, have a singular behaviour from the almost isometric point of view: property (umap) does not interpolate between L E p ( ) ...

Wasserstein metric and subordination

Philippe Clément, Wolfgang Desch (2008)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let ( X , d X ) , ( Ω , d Ω ) be complete separable metric spaces. Denote by (X) the space of probability measures on X, by W p the p-Wasserstein metric with some p ∈ [1,∞), and by p ( X ) the space of probability measures on X with finite Wasserstein distance from any point measure. Let f : Ω p ( X ) , ω f ω , be a Borel map such that f is a contraction from ( Ω , d Ω ) into ( p ( X ) , W p ) . Let ν₁,ν₂ be probability measures on Ω with W p ( ν , ν ) finite. On X we consider the subordinated measures μ i = Ω f ω d ν i ( ω ) . Then W p ( μ , μ ) W p ( ν , ν ) . As an application we show that the solution measures ϱ α ( t ) ...

Ramsey partitions and proximity data structures

Manor Mendel, Assaf Naor (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

This paper addresses two problems lying at the intersection of geometric analysis and theoretical computer science: The non-linear isomorphic Dvoretzky theorem and the design of good approximate distance oracles for large distortion.We introduce the notion of Ramsey partitions of a finite metric space, and show that the existence of good Ramsey partitions implies a solution to the metric Ramsey problem for large distortion (also known as the non-linear version of the isomorphic Dvoretzky...

Volume of spheres in doubling metric measured spaces and in groups of polynomial growth

Romain Tessera (2007)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

Let G be a compactly generated locally compact group and let U be a compact generating set. We prove that if G has polynomial growth, then ( U n ) n is a Følner sequence and we give a polynomial estimate of the rate of decay of μ ( U n + 1 U n ) μ ( U n ) . Our proof uses only two ingredients: the doubling property and a weak geodesic property that we call Property (M). As a matter of fact, the result remains true in a wide class of doubling metric measured spaces including manifolds and graphs. As an application, we obtain...
