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

Which points in the Samuel compactification of a metric space $X$ are limits of uniformly di...

Given a metric space $(X.d)$ the Samuel compactification of $X$, written $sX$, is the unique compactification with the property that if $Y$ is an arbitrary compact Hausdorff space and $f:X\rightarrow …

Measures on complete metric spaces for which all meager sets are null

On a complete metric space the collection of meager and comeager sets form a $\sigma$-algebra. There is a 'natural' measure you can put on this $\sigma$-algebra where the measure of a meager set is 0 …

Covering numbers of uniformly bounded subsets of Gromov-Hausdorff space

For any metric space $X$ and $\varepsilon>0$, let $$\text{cov}(X,\varepsilon)=\min\{n\,|\,X\text{ has a cover by }n\text{ many closed }\varepsilon\text{-balls}\},$$ be the ordinary covering numbers. …
