Hyperconvexity of ℝ-trees

W. Kirk (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

It is shown that for a metric space (M,d) the following are equivalent: (i) M is a complete ℝ-tree; (ii) M is hyperconvex and has unique metric segments.

Menger curvature and Lipschitz parametrizations in metric spaces

Immo Hahlomaa (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that pointwise bounds on the Menger curvature imply Lipschitz parametrization for general compact metric spaces. We also give some estimates on the optimal Lipschitz constants of the parametrizing maps for the metric spaces in Ω(ε), the class of bounded metric spaces E such that the maximum angle for every triple in E is at least π/2 + arcsinε. Finally, we extend Peter Jones's travelling salesman theorem to general metric spaces.

Metric Ricci Curvature and Flow for PL Manifolds

Emil Saucan (2013)

Actes des rencontres du CIRM

We summarize here the main ideas and results of our papers [28], [14], as presented at the 2013 CIRM Meeting on Discrete curvature and we augment these by bringing up an application of one of our main results, namely to solving a problem regarding cube complexes.

Nonlinear orthogonal projection

Ewa Dudek, Konstanty Holly (1994)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We discuss some properties of an orthogonal projection onto a subset of a Euclidean space. The special stress is laid on projection's regularity and characterization of the interior of its domain.
