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...
We study relationships between separability with other properties in semi-stratifiable spaces. Especially, we prove the following statements: (1) If is a semi-stratifiable space, then is separable if and only if is ; (2) If is a star countable extent semi-stratifiable space and has a dense metrizable subspace, then is separable; (3) Let be a -monolithic star countable extent semi-stratifiable space. If and , then is hereditarily separable. Finally, we prove that for any -space...
We prove that, assuming CH, if is a space with -calibre and a zeroset diagonal, then is submetrizable. This gives a consistent positive answer to the question of Buzyakova in Observations on spaces with zeroset or regular -diagonals, Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin. 46 (2005), no. 3, 469–473. We also make some observations on spaces with -calibre.
In the realm of metric spaces we show in ZF that: (i) A metric space is compact if and only if it is countably compact and for every , every cover by open balls of radius has a countable subcover. (ii) Every second countable metric space has a countable base consisting of open balls if and only if the axiom of countable choice restricted to subsets of holds true. (iii) A countably compact metric space is separable if and only if it is second countable.
We prove that if is a first countable space with property and with a -diagonal then the cardinality of is at most . We also show that if is a first countable, DCCC, normal space then the extent of is at most .
By , , we denote the -th symmetric product of a metric space as the space of the non-empty finite subsets of with at most elements endowed with the Hausdorff metric . In this paper we shall describe that every isometry from the -th symmetric product into itself is induced by some isometry from into itself, where is either the Euclidean space or the sphere with the usual metrics. Moreover, we study the -th symmetric product of the Euclidean space up to bi-Lipschitz equivalence and...
