Approximation of Metric Spaces by Partial Metric Spaces

Partial metrics are generalised metrics with non-zero self-distances. We slightly generalise Matthews' original definition of partial metrics, yielding a notion of weak partial metric. After considering weak partial metric spaces in general, we introduce a weak partial metric on the poset of formal balls of a metric space. This weak partial metric can be used to construct the completion of classical metric spaces from the domain-theoretic rounded ideal completion.

Entropy Numbers of Embeddings of Weighted Besov Spaces

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the entropy numbers of the compact embedding $$ B^{s_1}_{p_1,q_1} \!\!(\mbox{\footnotesize\bf R}^d, \alpha) \hookrightarrow B^{s_2}_{p_2,q_2} \!\!({\xxR}). $$ Here $B^s_{p,q} \!({\mbox{\footnotesize\bf R}^d}, \alpha)$ denotes a weighted Besov space, where the weight is given by $w_\alpha (x) = (1+| x |^2)^{\alpha/2}$, and $B^{s_2}_{p_2,q_2} \!({\mbox{\footnotesize\bf R}^d})$ denotes the unweighted Besov space, respectively. We shall concentrate on the so-called limiting situation given by the following constellation of parameters: $s_2 < s_1$, $0 < p_1,p_2 \le \infty$, and $$ \alpha = s_1 - \frac{d}{p_1} - s_2 + \frac{d}{p_2} > d \, \max \Big(0, \frac{1}{p_2}-\frac{1}{p_1}\Big). $$ In almost all cases we give a sharp two-sided estimate.     

Metric Projections and Polyhedral Spaces

We prove that if X is a Banach space and Y is a proximinal subspace of finite codimension in X such that the finite dimensional annihilator of Y is polyhedral, then the metric projection from X onto Y is lower Hausdorff semi continuous. In particular this implies that if X and Y are as above, with the unit sphere of the annihilator space of Y contained in the set of quasi-polyhedral points of X ^*, then the metric projection onto Y is Hausdorff metric continuous.

On Embeddings for Classes of Functions with Generalized Smoothness on Metric Spaces

Given a metric space with a Borel measure, we consider the classes of functions whose increment is controlled by the measure of a ball containing the corresponding points and a nonnegative function summable with some power. We prove embedding theorems for these spaces defined by two different measures satisfying the doubling condition.     

Isometric embeddings of compact spaces into Banach spaces

We show the existence of a compact metric space K such that whenever K embeds isometrically into a Banach space Y, then any separable Banach space is linearly isometric to a subspace of Y. We also address the following related question: if a Banach space Y contains an isometric copy of the unit ball or of some special compact subset of a separable Banach space X, does it necessarily contain a subspace isometric to X? We answer positively this question when X is a polyhedral finite-dimensional space, c₀ or ?₁.     

Cheeger Type Sobolev Spaces for Metric Space Targets

In this paper, we consider the natural generalization of Cheeger type Sobolev spaces to maps into a metric space. We solve Dirichlet problem for CAT(0)-space targets, and obtain some results about the relation between Cheeger type Sobolev spaces for maps into a Banach space and those for maps into a subset of that Banach space. We also prove the minimality of upper pointwise Lipschitz constant functions for locally Lipschitz maps into an Alexandrov space of curvature bounded above.     

Polyhedral Embeddings of Cayley Graphs

When is a Cayley graph the graph of a convex d-polytope? We show that while this is not always the case, some interesting finite groups have this property.     

The Second Bounded Cohomology of a Group Acting on a Gromov-Hyperbolic Space

Suppose a group G acts on a Gromov-hyperbolic space X properlydiscontinuously. If the limit set L(G) of the action has atleast three points, then the second bounded cohomology groupof is infinite dimensional. For example, if M is a complete, pinched negatively curved Riemannianmanifold with finite volume, then is infinite dimensional. As an application, we show that ifG is a knot group with GZ, then is infinite dimensional. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification:primary 20F32; secondary 53C20, 57M25.     

Bi-Lipschitz Embeddings of Trees into Euclidean Buildings

Let be the affine Bruhat-Tits (or Euclidean) building associated to a semisimple, simply connected linear algebraic group defined over a non-Archimedean local field. We prove that there exist locally finite trees of degree 3 which are bi-Lipschitz embedded in . As a consequence such a Euclidean building cannot be bi-Lipschitz embedded into a Hilbert space.     

Products of Hyperbolic Metric Spaces

Let (X _i d _i ), i=1,2, be proper geodesic hyperbolic metric spaces. We give a general construction for a 'hyperbolic product' X ₁× _h X ₂ which is itself a proper geodesic hyperbolic metric space and examine its boundary at infinity.     

Some Groups Having Only Elementary Actions on Metric Spaces with Hyperbolic Boundaries

We study isometric actions of certain groups on metric spaces with hyperbolic-type bordifications. The class of groups considered includes SL _n (), Artin braid groups and mapping class groups of surfaces (except the lower rank ones). We prove that in various ways such actions must be elementary. Most of our results hold for non-locally compact spaces and extend what is known for actions on proper CAT(-1) and Gromov hyperbolic spaces. We also show that SL _n () for n 3 cannot act on a visibility space X without fixing a point in . Corollaries concern Floyd's group completion, linear actions on strictly convex cones, and metrics on the moduli spaces of compact Riemann surfaces. Some remarks on bounded generation are also included.     

Fine Properties of Sets of Finite Perimeter in Doubling Metric Measure Spaces

The aim of this paper is to study the properties of the perimeter measure in the quite general setting of metric measure spaces. In particular, defining the essential boundary ^* E of E as the set of points where neither the density of E nor the density of XE is 0, we show that the perimeter measure is concentrated on ^* E and is representable by an Hausdorff-type measure.     

The Metric of Large Deviation Convergence

We construct a metric space of set functions ( , d) such that a sequence {P _n} of Borel probability measures on a metric space ( , d*) satisfies the full Large Deviation Principle (LDP) with speed {a _n} and good rate function I if and only if the sequence converges in ( , d) to the set function e ^–I . Weak convergence of probability measures is another special case of convergence in ( , d). Properties related to the LDP and to weak convergence are then characterized in terms of ( , d).

A Characterization of Projective Spaces by a Set of Planes

This note deals with the following question: How many planes of a linear space (P, $\mathfrak{L}$ ) must be known as projective planes to ensure that (P, $\mathfrak{L}$ ) is a projective space? The following answer is given: If for any subset M of a linear space (P, $\mathfrak{L}$ ) the restriction (M, $\mathfrak{L}$ )(M)) is locally complete, and if for every plane E of (M, $\mathfrak{L}$ (M)) the plane $\bar E$ generated by E is a projective plane, then (P, $\mathfrak{L}$ ) is a projective space (cf. 5.6). Or more generally: If for any subset M of P the restriction (M, $\mathfrak{L}$ (M)) is locally complete, and if for any two distinct coplanar lines G1, G2 ∈ $\mathfrak{L}$ (M) the lines $\bar G_1 ,\bar G_2 \varepsilon \mathfrak{L}$ generated by G1, G2 have a nonempty intersection and $\overline {G_1 \cup {\text{ }}G_2 }$ satisfies the exchange condition, then (P, $\mathfrak{L}$ ) is a generalized projective space.

On Embeddings of the Flag Geometries of Projective Planes in Finite Projective Spaces

The flag geometry =( ) of a finite projective plane of order s is the generalized hexagon of order (s, 1) obtained from by putting equal to the set of all flags of , by putting equal to the set of all points and lines of and where I is the natural incidence relation (inverse containment), i.e., is the dual of the double of in the sense of Van Maldeghem Mal:98. Then we say that is fully and weakly embedded in the finite projective space PG(d, q) if is a subgeometry of the natural point-line geometry associated with PG(d, q), if s = q, if the set of points of generates PG(d, q), and if the set of points of not opposite any given point of does not generate PG(d, q). Preparing the classification of all such embeddings, we construct in this paper the classical examples, prove some generalities and show that the dimension d of the projective space belongs to {6,7,8}.
