Nov 29, 2022 at 0:33 comment added anon Of course, I missed the request that the space be geodesic! It is an interesting question.

Nov 28, 2022 at 10:33 comment added Anton Petrunin @anon I asked for geodesic space, and snowflake is not geodesic. But it is a nice observation.
Nov 27, 2022 at 1:50 comment added anon If $(X,d)$ is a metric space and $\epsilon \in (0,1)$, then $(X, d^\epsilon)$ is also a metric space (called a ``snowflake'' of $(X,d)$). It seems to me that if the former space is nice, then so is the latter, trivially. The snowflake will not be injective. For a concrete example, take $X=[0,1]$ and $\epsilon=\frac{1}{2}$. Does this work or have I made a mistake?

Nov 23, 2022 at 15:43 comment added user44143 This is just another way of saying that the Hausdorff distance between $X$ and $Y$ is greater than that between $f(X)$ and $f(Y)$ — so the $x\in X,y\in Y$ there just comes from the definition of Hausdorff distance. Without that clause the condition I wrote would be trivial; as it stands it is equivalent to the condition in the post.
Nov 23, 2022 at 15:32 comment added Anton Petrunin @MattF. No, I do not assume $r(A)\in A$. $r(A)$ might be any point such that $r(\{x\})=x$ and $|r(A)-r(B)|\leqslant|A-B|_H$.
Nov 23, 2022 at 15:27 comment added user44143 The Lipschitz niceness condition can also be written as: for any $X,Y$, there are $x\in X,\,y\in Y$ with $d(x,y)\ge d(f(X),f(Y))$ and $d(x,y)$ equal to either $d(x,Y)$ or $d(X,y)$.
