Do cycle graphs embed isometrically in spheres?

I recently came across, what seems to be a folklore. Namely, that cycle graphs embeds isometrically into spheres $S^n(r)$, for some $n\in \mathbb{N}_+$ and some $r>0$. However, I could not track ...

Is every weakly $1$-dimensional space embeddable in the plane?

A $1$-dimensional (separable metric) space $X$ is weakly $1$-dimensional if $$\Lambda(X)=\{x\in X:X\text{ is 1-dimensional at }x\}$$ is zero-dimensional (i.e. the space $\Lambda(X)$ has a basis of ...

Metric spaces containing a topological disc

It is well-known that every connected, locally connected compact metrizable space $X$ contains an arc, that is, a subspace homeomorphic to $[0,1]$. Are there topological properties we can add to these ...

Isometric embeddings of $c_0$ into metric spaces

Are there any nice and useful criteria or theorems which assert when a given metric space $M$ contains an isometric (not necessarily linear) copy of the Banach space $c_0$ or its unit ball $B_{c_0}$? (...

Finite approximations to the Kuratowski/Fréchet embedding

Let $(X,d)$ be a compact doubling metric space with doubling constant $C>0$. Let $\{\mathbb{X}_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ be a sequences of finite subsets of $X$ with $$ \left\{B\left(x_k,\frac1{n}\right)...

Best estimate on doubling constant of a finite metric space

Let $(X,d)$ be a finite metric space. Clearly, $(X,d)$ is a doubling metric space but is there a 'best' estimate of $(X,d)$'s doubling constant? Probability based on its cardinality, diameter, and ...

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,...

Injectivity of post-composition operator

Let $X$, $Y_1,Y_2$, and $Z$ be separable metric spaces. Let $C(X,Y)$ be the topological space of continuous functions from $X$ to $Y$ equipped with its compact-open topologies. Fix a continuous ...

When is a metric space a snowflake?

Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space. For any $0<\epsilon<1$, we call the metric space $(X,d^{\epsilon})$; where $d^{\epsilon}(x,y)\triangleq (d(x,y))^{\epsilon}$ the $\epsilon$-snowflake of $(X,d)$. ...

Which metric spaces embed isometrically in $\ell_p$?

It is known that each metric space $X$ embeds isometrically in the Banach space $\ell_\infty(X)$ of bounded (not necessarily continuous) functions $X \to \mathbb R$. Since $\ell_\infty(X)$ does not ...

Lower Estimate of A Lipschitz Map

Suppose that $(X,d_X)$ and $(Y,d_Y)$ are complete doubling metric spaces and let $f:X\rightarrow Y$ be a non-constant Lipschitz map. Then can does there exist a lsc function $\rho:(0,\infty)\...
