Extendability of Metric Segments in Gromov--Hausdorff Distance (2009.00458v1)
Published 26 Aug 2020 in math.MG, math.FA, and math.GN
Abstract: In this paper geometry of Gromov-Hausdorff distance on the class of all metric spaces considered up to an isometry is investigated. For this class continuous curves and their lengths are defined, and it is shown that the Gromov-Hausdorff distance is intrinsic. Besides, metric segments are considered, i.e., the classes of points lying between two given ones, and an extension problem of such segments beyond their end-points is considered.
