A characterization of metric spaces, isometric to subspaces of Euclidean spaces
I am looking for the reference to the following (surely known) characterization of metric spaces that embed into $\mathbb R^n$:
Theorem. Let $n$ be positive integer number. A metric space $X$ is ...

Are Hölder functions between Banach spaces residual in the compact-open topology?
Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces and let $C(X,Y)$ be the set of continuous functions from $X$ to $Y$ equipped with the topology of uniform convergence on compact sets (i.e. the compact-open topology). ...

Continuous surjection of $\mathbb{R}^{n-1}$ onto the interior of the $n$-simplex with continuous right inverse
Let $n$ be a positive integer. Clearly $\mathbb{R}^{n-1}$ and the interior of the $n$-simplex $
\delta_n := \{x \in [0,1]^n:\,\Sigma_k x_n =1, (\forall i)\,x_i>0\}
$ are homeomorphic. What I'm ...

Nonvanishing section of infinite-dimensional tautological bundle
Let $H$ be a real or complex Hilbert space. In the case where $H$ is infinite-dimensional, let us define a half-dimensional subspace as a subspace $W \subset H$ such that both $W$ and $W^\perp$ have ...

Density of functions into the circle glueing
Let $\{U_i\}_{i=1}^2$ be an open cover of $S^1$, with $U_i\cong \mathbb{R}$ (for example, $U_1$ is the lower arc of the circle and $U_2$ is the upper part). Let $\iota_i:U_i\hookrightarrow S^1$ be ...

A holomorphic shrinking of a domain into a compact subset
This question is related to these two.
Let $X\subset \mathbb{C}^{n}$ be a bounded domain. I am interested in the following property: there is a sequence of continuous maps $\varphi_n:\overline{X}\to X$...

Is each compact metric space a subset of a compact absolute 1-Lipschitz retract?
A metric space $X$ is called an absolute $L$-Lipschitz retract if for any metric space $Y$ containing $X$ there exists a Lipschitz retraction $r:Y\to X$ with Lipschitz constant $Lip(r)\le L$.

The inverse image of a Noetherian topological space
A topological space $X$ is called Noetherian if
closed subsets satisfy the descending chain condition, equivalently,
the open subsets satisfy the ascending chain
condition.
Let $A$ and $B$ be ...

Is the space of smooth maps $C^{\infty}(M,N)$ with the Whitney $C^{\infty}$ topology locally compact, if $M$ is compact
The title says it all:
Let $M$ be a compact manifold and $N$ a (possible non compact) manifold. Equip the space of smooth functions $C^{\infty}(M,N)$ with the Whitney $C^{\infty}$ topology. (The ...

Shrinking $\mathcal{C}_c^{\infty}(M)$ to obtain a first countable space
This is a follow-up to this question.
Let $M$ be manifold (Hausdorff, countable base, finite dimensional, if it simplifies anything embedded in $\mathbb{R}^n$).
I'm interested in the topological ...
