Previously asked and bountied at MSE: For complete metric spaces $X,Y$, write $X\trianglelefteq Y$ iff for every complete metric space $Z$ such that the Gromov-Hausdorff distance between $X$ and $Z$ ...

Suppose I have a compact metric space $(X,d)$ and let $\mathcal{X}=X^K$ be the product space. Consider the equivalence relation $\sim$ on $\mathcal{X}$ given as: for $\alpha,\beta\in \mathcal{X}$, $\...

Let $X$ be a compact metric, second countable space with finite covering dimension. Let $A,B$ be two closed subsets of $X$. Assume that $h:A\to B$ is a homeomorphism. Is it possible to extend $h$ to a ...

It is asserted in A Course in Metric Geometry by Burago, Burago, Ivanov that there can be no more than continuum of mutually nonisometric compact spaces How is this proven? Its clear that there ...

Consider a probability space $(X,F,\mu)$, and the quotient $G$ of the sigma-algebra $F$ by its null sets. Endow $G$ with the metric $d(A,B) = \mu(A \triangle B)$. Is $(G,d)$ a compact metric space? ...
