Properties of doubling metric spaces
At present I work with tools that involves doubling metric space, my definition of DME is:
A metric space $X$ is called doubling with constant $N$, where $N \geq 1$ is an integer, if, for each ball $...

Wasserstein space isomorphic to original space?
Is there a complete measurable metric space $(X,d)$ for which its $p$-Wasserstein space $W(X)$ is isometrically isomorphic to $(X,d)$ for some $p \in [1,\infty]$?
Note that there is a canonical non-...

Defining area / n-volume of a finite metric space
Let $(X, d)$ be a finite metric space. I've seen several answers to the question when can $X$ be isometrically embedded into Euclidean space (or, more generally, Riemannian manifold). I'm interested ...

Absolute continuity of the volume growth in a metric space
Let $(M,d)$ be a metric space (separable, complete, better?) and let $\mu$ be a ($\sigma$-additive, positive, locally finite, regular?) Borel measure on $M$. For $x\in M$ consider the volume growth ...

A locally compact, complete metric space in which the closure of open balls coincide with the closed ball is Heine-Borel
I saw the following result stated without a proof in a paper about the isometry group of metric measure spaces:
Let $X$ be a locally compact, complete metric space such that for all $x \in X$ and $R &...

When are Wasserstein spaces $CAT(\kappa)$?
Let $(X,d)$ be a complete and separable metric space and, for $1\leq p<\infty$, let $(\mathcal{P}_p(X,d),W_p)$ be the $p$-Wasserstein space on $(X,d)$. For which $p$ and $(X,d)$ is $(\mathcal{P}_p(...

Are Carnot groups ever CAT(𝜅) spaces?
Let $G$ be a free Carnot group of homogeneous dimension $d$, equipped with the Carnot–Carathéodory metric. Is $(G,d)$ ever $\operatorname{CAT}(\kappa)$ for some $\kappa\in \mathbb{R}$?

Relationship between Hausdorff dimension and covering number
Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space and recall that the $\epsilon$-external covering number $\mathcal{N}^{\epsilon}(X)$ of $X$ is defined by:
$$
\mathcal{N}^{\epsilon}(X) := \inf\left\{
N\in \mathbb{...

Almost Lipschitz embedding of compact metric measure spaces into Euclidean spaces
Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space, $m$ be a metric outer-measure on $X$. Are there 'mild conditions' on $X$ ensuring the existence of a positive integer $N\geq 3$ such that there exist $x_1,\dots,...

Domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for which Hajlasz-Sobolev spaces and Sobolev Spaces are the same
I'm reading Heinonen's book on metric measure spaces. He writes that for general domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $M^{1,p}(\Omega) \subset W^{1,p}(\Omega)$ where the former are Hajlasz-Sobolev ...

Holder-continuous barycenter maps
Let $(X,d)$ be a complete locally-compact metric space. We define the $p$-barycenter map as a continuous function:
$$
\beta:\mathcal{P}_p(X)\rightarrow X,
$$
which is a right-inverse of the map ...

Bounded ball measure on compact metric space
Fix $c>1$. Let $(X,d)$ be a separable compact metric space, does there necessarily exist a Borel probability measure $\nu$ on $(X,d)$ such that
$\operatorname{sup}_{x \in X,r>0}\frac{\nu(\...
