	METRIC SPACE FACTS AND INFORMATION
		In mathematics, a metric space is a set where a notion of distance between elements of the set is defined.
		Similarly, in 3D, the metrics on the surface of a polyhedron include the ordinary metric, and the distance over the surface; a third metric on the edges of a polyhedron is one where the "paths" are the edges.
		An important consequence is that every metric space admits partitions_of_unity and that every continuous real-valued function defined on a closed subset of a metric space can be extended to a continuous map on the whole space (Tietze_extension_theorem).

		In metric spaces, one can talk about limits of sequences; a metric space in which every Cauchy sequence has a limit is said to be complete.
		The original space M is thus isometrically isomorphic to a subspace of a complete metric space, and it is usually identified with this subspace.
		Other embedding constructions show that every metric space is isometrically isomorphic to a closed subset of some normed vector space and that every complete metric space is isometrically isomorphic to a closed subset of some Banach space.

		The geometry of the space depends on the metric chosen and by using a different metric we can construct interesting non-Euclidean geometries which are used in the theory of general relativity.
		A metric space is a 2-tuple (X,d) where X is a set and d is a metric on X.
		So to decide in what sense two metrics spaces are equivalent we have to discuss continuous functions between them (morphisms preserving the topology of the metric spaces).

		A metric d on M is called intrinsic if any two points x and y in M can be joint by a curve with length arbitrarily close to d(x, y).
		A metric space M is called bounded if there exists some number r > 0 such that d(x,y) ≤ r for all x and y in M (not to be confused with "finite", which refers to the number of elements, not to how far the set extends; finiteness implies boundedness, but not conversely).
		Every such metric can be rescaled to a finite metric (using d'(x, y) = d(x, y) / (1 + d(x, y)) or d''(x, y) = min(1, d(x, y))) and the two concepts of metric space are therefore equivalent as far as notions of topology (such as continuity or convergence) are concerned.

	PH. D. THESIS
		In parallel, with the aim of completing for frames a picture analogous to the one for spaces, we characterize uniform structures in terms of "gauge structures", that is, families of metric diameters satisfying certain axioms.
		The language of category theory has proved to be an adequate tool in the approach to the type of conceptual problems we are interested in, namely in the selection of the best axiomatizations for some frame structures and in the study of the relationship between them.
		Category theory provides a language to formulate such questions with the kind of precision needed to analyse advantages and disadvantages of various alternatives.

		Converging experimental evidence suggests that shape categories are mentally represented as continuous spaces that preserve the parametric similarities among individual object shapes.
		The recovered 2D configurations in the reconstructed perceptual space were quantitatively compared with the configurations in the original linear morphing space.
		The recovered metric structure closely matched the original metric structure in the morphing space.

		In particular: F is a class, hence {F} is a conglomerate.] A metacategory_is defined in the same way as a category except that the obj* ects and the morphisms are allowed to be conglomerates and the requirement that the conglomerate of mo *rphisms between two objects be a set is dropped.

	54E: Spaces with richer structures especially metric spaces
		A set X with a metric on it is called a metric space since the collection of unions of balls is a topology on X. A major theme in research is to investigate the influence a metric has on the underlying topology.
		Among those mentioned in the MSC we observe semimetric spaces (topological spaces whose topology is given by the balls with respect to a semimetric -- a distance function not meeting the triangle inequality); cosmic spaces (continuous image of a separable metric space), and probabilistic metric spaces.
		The theory of metric spaces is almost always presented with an eye towards its connections either with general topology or with analysis; this is true both at the beginning undergraduate level and at advanced levels.

		Remined that the collection of all metric spaces is a category and Lipschitz maps are morphisms in this category (bi-Lipschitz maps are isomorphisms).
		In general, the question of Lipschitz classification with respect to the induced metric is more complicated then the corresponding question with respect to the length metric.
		We prove in \S2-\S4 that the bi-Lipschitz equivalence in the category of germs of semialgebraic curves corresponds to the isomorphism in the category of H\"{o}lder Semicomplexes.

		All these constructs are treated as initial or final objects in some categories of diagrams, in order to see how this trick gives a trivial proof of uniqueness.
		The relevance of this to functional analysis is that projective and direct limits really do play a much larger role than often imagined, and this viewpoint can be a big help in understanding proofs.

		We would like to discuss the Category of Complete Metric Spaces.
		There is an important sub-class of continuous functions which do preserve Cauchy sequences and, in fact, are the continous functions on an important sub-Category of Complete Metric Spaces.
		To verify that complete metric spaces and uniformly continuous maps form a category we need to check the the composition of uniformly continuous maps is uniformly continuous.

	Short map (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		In mathematics, a short map, or nonexpansive map, is a special kind of continuous function between metric spaces.
		Specifically, suppose that X and Y are metric spaces and f is a function from X to Y.
		Thus metric spaces and short maps form a category Met; Met is a subcategory of the category of metric spaces and Lipschitz maps, and the isomorphisms in Met are the isometries.

		It is shown that the former functor has a terminal coalgebra and that the latter does not.

	A Fixed Point Theorem in a Category of Compact Metric Spaces (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Various results appear in the literature for deriving existence and uniqueness of fixed points for endofunctors on categories of complete metric spaces.
		All these results are proved for contracting functors which satisfy some further requirements, depending on the category in question.
		Following a new kind of approach, based on the notion of eta-isometry, we show that the sole hypothesis of contractivity is enough for proving existence and uniqueness of fixed points for endofunctors on the category of compact metric spaces and embedding-projection pairs.
