A new $\ell_p$-metric on the hyperspace of finite sets?
Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space and $Fin(X)$ be the family of all non-empty finite subsets of $X$. For every $n\in\mathbb N$ the elements of the power $X^n$ are thought as functions $f:n\to X$ where $n:=...

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 &...

Generalizing Gromov Hausdorff distance using Vietoris topology
There are two notions of convergence of a sequence of metric space. One is by the Gromov Hausdorff distance for compact metric spaces, another one is the pointed Gromov Hausdorff convergence for ...

Symmetric line spaces are homeomorphic to Euclidean spaces
For points $x,y,z$ of a metric space $(X,d)$ we write $\mathbf Mxyz$ and say that $y$ is a midpoint between $x$ and $z$ if $d(x,z)=d(x,y)+d(y,z)$ and $d(x,y)=d(y,z)$.
Definition: A metric space $(X,d)$...

Are there hereditarily square-boxed plane continua?
A plane continuum is a bounded, closed and connected subset of the plane.
A bounding box $B$ for a plane continuum $C$ is
a rectangle $B=[a,b]\times[c,d]$ (including sides and interior)
such that $C$ ...

On connectedness of the complement
In the application of Runge type theorems on the approximation of functions with some regularity on a neighborhood of a compact, it is interesting to know whether the complement of a compact has ...
