A metric space is a pair $(X,d)$, where $X$ is a set and $d:X \times X \to \mathbb{R}$ satisfies the following conditions for all $x,y,z \in X$. (Symmetry) $d(x,y)=d(y,x)$. (Identity of Indiscernibles) $d(x,y)=0$ if and only if $x=y$. (Triangle Inequality) $d(x,y)+d(y,z) \geq d(x,z)$.

Does existence of midpoints imply intrinsic?

It is well-known, that a complete metric space, where any two points have a midpoints ($\forall x,y~ \exists z:~d(x,z)=d(y,z)=\frac{d(x,y)}{2}$) is strictly intrinsic, in the sense that any $x,y$ can …

Space of curves

I am reading Burago, Burago & Ivanov's book where they distinguish the notion of a curve and a path in the following way: a path in a topological space $X$ is simply a (continuous) map from a connecte …

Is any submetrizable linear topology linearly submetrizable?

Let $E$ be a vector space. A topology $\tau$ on $E$ is called (linearly) submetrizable if there is a (linear) metrizable topology $\pi$ on $E$ which is weaker than $\tau$, i.e. $\pi\subset\tau$. Is i …
