Images of locally compact metric spaces

We establish relationships between locally compact-metric spaces and all kinds of spaces with mk-system (compact k-network) by means of compact-covering mappings, quotient mapping and closed mappings. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

满足$\varphi l=l\varphi$的3-维仿切触度量流形的分类

Let $M^{3}$ be a 3-dimensional paracontact metric manifold. Firstly, a classification of $M^{3}$ satisfying $\varphi Q=Q\varphi$ is given. Secondly, manifold $M^{3}$ satisfying $\varphi l=l\varphi$ and having $\eta$-parallel Ricci tensor or cyclic $\eta$-parallel Ricci tensor is studied.     

Embeddings of locally finite metric spaces into Banach spaces

We show that if is a Banach space without cotype, then every locally finite metric space embeds metrically into .

     

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.     

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.     

A class of \ell ^p saturated Banach spaces

We present a new class of reflexive \(\ell ^p\) saturated Banach spaces \(\mathfrak{X }_p\) for \(1<p<\infty \) with rather tight structure. The norms of these spaces are defined with the use of a modification of the standard method yielding hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces. The space \(\mathfrak{X }_p\) does not embed into a space with an unconditional basis and for any analytic decomposition into two subspaces, it is proved that one of them embeds isomorphically into the \(\ell ^p\) -sum of a sequence of finite dimensional normed spaces. We also study the space of operators of \(\mathfrak{X }_p\) .     

Hyperspaces of direct limits of locally compact metric spaces

For a tower X₁ ⊂ X₂ ⊂ ⋯ of locally compact metric spaces, let X_∞ = ∪^∞₁ X_n denote the direct limit space. We show that the hyperspace 2^X_∞ of nonempty compact subsets of X_∞, with the Vietoris topology, is homeomorphic to the direct limit of the tower of hyperspaces 2^X₁∪2^X₂∪⋯. Consequently, if each X_n is a generalized Peano continuum, with X_n closed and nowhere dense in X_n+1, then 2^X_∞ is homeomorphic to the direct limit of Hilbert cubes.     

Dense embeddings of nowhere locally compact separable metric spaces

Nowhere locally compact separable metric spaces are characterized (up to homeomorphism) as precisely the dense subsets of the separable Hilbert space and those of dimension at most n are characterized (up to homeomorphism) as precisely the dense subsets of the n-dimensional Menger-Nöbeling space.

A constructive and functorial embedding of locally compact metric spaces into locales

The paper establishes, within constructive mathematics, a full and faithful functor M from the category of locally compact metric spaces and continuous functions into the category of formal topologies (or equivalently locales). The functor preserves finite products, and moreover satisfies f?g if, and only if, M(f)?M(g) for continuous . This makes it possible to transfer results between Bishop's constructive theory of metric spaces and constructive locale theory.     

On similarity homogeneous locally compact spaces with intrinsic metric

In this article, we generalize partially the theorem of V. N. Berestovskii on characterization of similarity homogeneous (nonhomogeneous) Riemannian manifolds, i.e., Riemannian manifolds admitting transitive group of metric similarities other than motions to the case of locally compact similarity homogeneous (nonhomogeneous) spaces with intrinsic metric satisfying the additional assumption that the canonically conformally equivalent homogeneous space is δ-homogeneous or a space of curvature bounded below in the sense of A. D. Aleksandrov. Under the same assumptions, we prove the conjecture of V. N. Berestovskii on topological structure of such spaces.     

η-parallel contact metric spaces

We prove that a contact metric manifold M=(M;η,ξ,φ,g) with η-parallel tensor h is either a K-contact space or a (k,μ)-space, where h denotes, up to a scaling factor, the Lie derivative of the structure tensor φ in the direction of the characteristic vector ξ. In the latter case, its associated CR-structure is in particular integrable.     

A new approach to Sobolev spaces and connections to $\mathbf\Gamma$-convergence

This is a follow-up of a paper of Bourgain, Brezis and Mironescu [2]. We study how the existence of the limit

A $\Gamma$-convergence result for doubling metric measures and associated perimeters

Abstract. In this paper we study the notion of perimeter associated with doubling metric measures or strongly weights. We prove that the metric perimeter in the sense of L. Ambrosio and M. Miranda jr. coincides with the metric Minkowski content and can be obtained also as a -limit of Modica-Mortola type degenerate integral functionals.

On planarity of compact, locally connected, metric spaces

Independently, Claytor [Ann. Math. 35 (1934), 809–835] and Thomassen [Combinatorica 24 (2004), 699–718] proved that a 2-connected, compact, locally connected metric space is homeomorphic to a subset of the sphere if and only if it does not contain K ₅ or K _3;3. The “thumbtack space” consisting of a disc plus an arc attaching just at the centre of the disc shows the assumption of 2-connectedness cannot be dropped. In this work, we introduce “generalized thumbtacks” and show that a compact, locally connected metric space is homeomorphic to a subset of the sphere if and only if it does not contain K ₅, K _3;3, or any generalized thumbtack, or the disjoint union of a sphere and a point.     

On the stability of \varphi -uniform domains

We study two metrics, the quasihyperbolic metric and the distance ratio metric of a subdomain $G \subset {\mathbb R}^n$ . In the sequel, we investigate a class of domains, so called $\varphi $ -uniform domains, defined by the property that these two metrics are comparable with respect to a homeomorphism $\varphi $ from $[0,\infty )$ to itself. Finally, we discuss a number of stability properties of $\varphi $ -uniform domains. In particular, we show that the class of $\varphi $ -uniform domains is stable in the sense that removal of a geometric sequence of points from a $\varphi $ -uniform domain yields a $\varphi _1$ -uniform domain.     

Mok-Siu-Yeung type formulas on contact locally sub-symmetric spaces

We derive Mok-Siu-Yeung type formulas for horizontal maps from compact contact locally sub-symmetric spaces into strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds and we obtain some rigidity theorems for the horizontal pseudoharmonic maps.
