Some remarks about metric spaces, spherical mappings, functions and their derivatives.

Stephen Semmes (1996)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

If p ∈ Rn, then we have the radial projection map from Rn {p} onto a sphere. Sometimes one can construct similar mappings on metric spaces even when the space is nontrivially different from Euclidean space, so that the existence of such a mapping becomes a sign of approximately Euclidean geometry. The existence of such spherical mappings can be used to derive estimates for the values of a function in terms of its gradient, which can then be used to derive Sobolev inequalities, etc. In this paper...

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...

Some results on semi-stratifiable spaces

Wei-Feng Xuan, Yan-Kui Song (2019)

Mathematica Bohemica

We study relationships between separability with other properties in semi-stratifiable spaces. Especially, we prove the following statements: (1) If X is a semi-stratifiable space, then X is separable if and only if X is D C ( ω 1 ) ; (2) If X is a star countable extent semi-stratifiable space and has a dense metrizable subspace, then X is separable; (3) Let X be a ω -monolithic star countable extent semi-stratifiable space. If t ( X ) = ω and d ( X ) ω 1 , then X is hereditarily separable. Finally, we prove that for any T 1 -space...

Some results on spaces with 1 -calibre

Wei-Feng Xuan, Wei-Xue Shi (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We prove that, assuming CH, if X is a space with 1 -calibre and a zeroset diagonal, then X is submetrizable. This gives a consistent positive answer to the question of Buzyakova in Observations on spaces with zeroset or regular G δ -diagonals, Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin. 46 (2005), no. 3, 469–473. We also make some observations on spaces with 1 -calibre.

Some versions of second countability of metric spaces in ZF and their role to compactness

Kyriakos Keremedis (2018)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

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 ε > 0 , every cover by open balls of radius ε 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.

Spaces with property ( D C ( ω 1 ) )

Wei-Feng Xuan, Wei-Xue Shi (2017)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We prove that if X is a first countable space with property ( D C ( ω 1 ) ) and with a G δ -diagonal then the cardinality of X is at most 𝔠 . We also show that if X is a first countable, DCCC, normal space then the extent of X is at most 𝔠 .
