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) $d(x,y)+d(y,z) \geq d(x,z)$.

Is there a metric compactification that doesn't create new paths?
Every separable metric space $A$ has a metrizable compactification, i.e. a compact metrizable space $X$ for which $A$ embeds topologically as a dense subspace of $X$. There are many approaches to cons …

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 …

How complicated can the path component of a compact metric space be?
Let $X$ be a compact metric space and $P$ be a path component of $X$. Since we are not assuming $X$ is locally path connected, $P$ must need not be open nor closed. Certainly, $P$ must be separable bu …
