Unit Tangent Sphere Bundles and Two-Point Homogeneous Spaces

We characterize two-point homogeneous spaces, locally symmetric spaces, C and B-spaces via properties of the standard contact metric structure of their unit tangent sphere bundle. Further, under various conditions on a Riemannian manifold, we show that its unit tangent sphere bundle is a (locally) homogeneous contact metric space if and only if the manifold itself is (locally) isometric to a two-point homogeneous space.

A note on closed images of locally compact metric spaces

Summary A decomposition theorem about closed images of locally compact metric spaces is discussed. It is shown that a space is a closed image of a locally compact metric space if and only if it is a regular Fréchet space with a point-countable k-network, and each of its closed first-countable subset is locally compact.     

Local Currents in Metric Spaces

Ambrosio and Kirchheim presented a theory of currents with finite mass in complete metric spaces. We develop a variant of the theory that does not rely on a finite mass condition, closely paralleling the classical Federer–Fleming theory. If the underlying metric space is an open subset of a Euclidean space, we obtain a natural chain monomorphism from general metric currents to general classical currents whose image contains the locally flat chains and which restricts to an isomorphism for locally normal currents. We give a detailed exposition of the slicing theory for locally normal currents with respect to locally Lipschitz maps, including the rectifiable slices theorem, and of the compactness theorem for locally integral currents in locally compact metric spaces, assuming only standard results from analysis and measure theory.     

Isomorphisms of spaces of bounded continuous functions

If S is a locally compact metric space, countable at infinity, and the metric space T is not locally compact, then the spaces C(S) and C(T) are not isomorphic.

Strongly non-embeddable metric spaces

Enflo (1969) [4] constructed a countable metric space that may not be uniformly embedded into any metric space of positive generalized roundness. Dranishnikov, Gong, Lafforgue and Yu (2002) [3] modified Enflo?s example to construct a locally finite metric space that may not be coarsely embedded into any Hilbert space. In this paper we meld these two examples into one simpler construction. The outcome is a locally finite metric space (Z,ζ) which is strongly non-embeddable in the sense that it may not be embedded uniformly or coarsely into any metric space of non-zero generalized roundness. Moreover, we show that both types of embedding may be obstructed by a common recursive principle. It follows from our construction that any metric space which is Lipschitz universal for all locally finite metric spaces may not be embedded uniformly or coarsely into any metric space of non-zero generalized roundness. Our construction is then adapted to show that the group Zω=ℵ_0⊕Z admits a Cayley graph which may not be coarsely embedded into any metric space of non-zero generalized roundness. Finally, for each p?0 and each locally finite metric space (Z,d), we prove the existence of a Lipschitz injection f:Z→?p.     

Symmetry in the geometry of metric contact pairs

We prove that the universal covering of a complete locally symmetric normal metric contact pair manifold with decomposable ? is a Calabi‐Eckmann manifold or the Riemannian product of a sphere and . We show that a complete, simply connected, normal metric contact pair manifold with decomposable ?, such that the foliation induced by the vertical subbundle is regular and reflections in the integral submanifolds of the vertical subbundle are isometries, is the product of globally ?‐symmetric spaces or the product of a globally ?‐symmetric space and . Moreover in the first case the manifold fibers over a locally symmetric space endowed with a symplectic pair.     

Sigma-compact,nowhere locally compact metric spaces can be densely imbedded in Hilbert space

It is shown that if H is a connected, locally contractible, separable, topologically complete metric space with the property that mappings of separable metric spaces into H are approximable by imbeddings (in particular, if H is Hilbert space), then every sigma-compact, nowhere locally compact metric space can be densely imbedded in H.     

Some Results on Contact Metric Manifolds

If the sectional curvatures of plane sections containing the characteristic vector field of a contact metric manifold M are non-vanishing, then we prove that a second order parallel tensor on M is a constant multiple of the associated metric tensor. Next, we prove for a contact metric manifold of dimension greater than 3 and whose Ricci operator commutes with the fundamental collineation that, if its Weyl conformal tensor is harmonic, then it is Einstein. We also prove that, if the Lie derivative of the fundamental collineation along the characteristic vector field on a contact metric 3-manifold M satisfies a cyclic condition, then M is either Sasakian or locally isometric to certain canonical Lie-groups with a left invariant metric. Next, we prove that if a three-dimensional Sasakian manifold admits a non-Killing projective vector field, it is of constant curvature 1. Finally, we prove that a conformally recurrent Sasakian manifold is locally isometric to a unit sphere.     

On local non‐compactness in recursive mathematics

A metric space is said to be locally non‐compact if every neighborhood contains a sequence that is eventually bounded away from every element of the space, hence contains no accumulation point. We show within recursive mathematics that a nonvoid complete metric space is locally non‐compact iff it is without isolated points. The result has an interesting consequence in computable analysis: If a complete metric space has a computable witness that it is without isolated points, then every neighborhood contains a computable sequence that is eventually computably bounded away from every computable element of the space.

Equivalence of completeness and contraction property

In this paper, we consider the completeness and the contraction property in metric spaces and show that the contraction property implies Lipschitz-completeness or arcwise-completeness in a metric space. However, in a metric space, the contraction property does not imply the usual completeness. We prove that a locally Lipschitz-connected metric space has the contraction property if and only if it is Lipschitz-complete and that a locally arcwise-connected metric space is arcwise-complete if and only if has the strong contraction property.

     

Homogeneous spaces of curvature bounded below

We prove that every locally connected quotient G/H of a locally compact, connected, first countable topological group G by a compact subgroup H admits a G-invariant inner metric with curvature bounded below. Every locally compact homogeneous space of curvature bounded below is isometric to such a space. These metric spaces generalize the notion of Riemannian homogeneous space to infinite dimensional groups and quotients which are never (even infinite dimensional) manifolds. We study the geometry of these spaces, in particular of non-negatively curved homogeneous spaces. Dedicated to the memory of A. D. Alexandrov     

Amenability,locally finite spaces,and bi-lipschitz embeddings

We define the isoperimetric constant for any locally finite metric space and we study the property of having isoperimetric constant equal to zero. This property, called Small Neighborhood property, clearly extends amenability to any locally finite space. Therefore, we start making a comparison between this property and other notions of amenability for locally finite metric spaces that have been proposed by Gromov, Lafontaine and Pansu, by Ceccherini-Silberstein, Grigorchuk and de la Harpe and by Block and Weinberger. We discuss possible applications of the property SN in the study of embedding a metric space into another one. In particular, we propose three results: we prove that a certain class of metric graphs that are isometrically embeddable into Hilbert spaces must have the property SN. We also show, by a simple example, that this result is not true replacing property SN with amenability. As a second result, we prove that many spaces with uniform bounded geometry having a bi-lipschitz embedding into Euclidean spaces must have the property SN. Finally, we prove a Bourgain-like theorem for metric trees: a metric tree with uniform bounded geometry and without property SN does not have bi-lipschitz embeddings into finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces.

Open subspaces of locally compact metric spaces

Although classically every open subspace of a locally compact space is also locally compact, constructively this is not generally true. This paper provides a locally compact remetrization for an open set in a compact metric space and constructs a one-point compactification. MSC: 54D45, 03F60, 03F65.
