Some Results on Maps That Factor through a Tree

Roger Züst (2015)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a map deffned on a simply-connected quasi-convex metric space to factor through a tree. In case the target is the Euclidean plane and the map is Hölder continuous with exponent bigger than 1/2, such maps can be characterized by the vanishing of some integrals over winding number functions. This in particular shows that if the target is the Heisenberg group equipped with the Carnot-Carathéodory metric and the Hölder exponent of the map is bigger than...

Some results on metric trees

Asuman Güven Aksoy, Timur Oikhberg (2010)

Banach Center Publications

Using isometric embedding of metric trees into Banach spaces, this paper will investigate barycenters, type and cotype, and various measures of compactness of metric trees. A metric tree (T, d) is a metric space such that between any two of its points there is a unique arc that is isometric to an interval in ℝ. We begin our investigation by examining isometric embeddings of metric trees into Banach spaces. We then investigate the possible images x₀ = π((x₁ + ... + xₙ)/n), where π is a contractive...

Tangent Lines and Lipschitz Differentiability Spaces

Fabio Cavalletti, Tapio Rajala (2016)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

We study the existence of tangent lines, i.e. subsets of the tangent space isometric to the real line, in tangent spaces of metric spaces.We first revisit the almost everywhere metric differentiability of Lipschitz continuous curves. We then show that any blow-up done at a point of metric differentiability and of density one for the domain of the curve gives a tangent line. Metric differentiability enjoys a Borel measurability property and this will permit us to use it in the framework of Lipschitz...

The Boundary at Infinity of a Rough CAT(0) Space

S.M. Buckley, K. Falk (2014)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

We develop the boundary theory of rough CAT(0) spaces, a class of length spaces that contains both Gromov hyperbolic length spaces and CAT(0) spaces. The resulting theory generalizes the common features of the Gromov boundary of a Gromov hyperbolic length space and the ideal boundary of a complete CAT(0) space. It is not assumed that the spaces are geodesic or proper

Topology of the isometry group of the Urysohn space

Julien Melleray (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Using classical results of infinite-dimensional geometry, we show that the isometry group of the Urysohn space, endowed with its usual Polish group topology, is homeomorphic to the separable Hilbert space ℓ²(ℕ). The proof is based on a lemma about extensions of metric spaces by finite metric spaces, which we also use to investigate (answering a question of I. Goldbring) the relationship, when A,B are finite subsets of the Urysohn space, between the group of isometries fixing A pointwise, the group...

Urysohn universal spaces as metric groups of exponent 2

Piotr Niemiec (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The aim of the paper is to prove that the bounded and unbounded Urysohn universal spaces have unique (up to isometric isomorphism) structures of metric groups of exponent 2. An algebraic-geometric characterization of Boolean Urysohn spaces (i.e. metric groups of exponent 2 which are metrically Urysohn spaces) is given.
