  Isometry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, an isometry, isometric isomorphism or congruence mapping is a distance-preserving isomorphism between metric spaces.
For instance, the completion of a metric space M involves an isometry from M into M', a quotient set of the space of Cauchy sequences on M.
The original space M is thus isometrically isomorphic to a subspace of a complete metric space, and it is usually identified with this subspace.

 Metric space
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).
Metric spaces are paracompact Hausdorff spaces and hence normal (indeed they are perfectly normal).
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).

 Complete space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematical analysis, a metric space M is said to be complete (or Cauchy) if every Cauchy sequence of points in M has a limit that is also in M.
Note that completeness is a property of the metric and not of the topology, meaning that a complete metric space can be homeomorphic to a non-complete one.
Completely metrizable spaces can be characterized as those spaces which can be written as an intersection of countably many open subsets of some complete metric space.

 Metric space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
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.
Since metric spaces are topological spaces, one has a notion of continuous function between metric spaces.
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.

 PlanetMath: Baire category theorem
In a non-empty complete metric space, any countable intersection of dense, open subsets is non-empty.
In functional analysis, this important property of complete metric spaces forms the basis for the proofs of the important principles of Banach spaces: the open mapping theorem and the closed graph theorem.
Note that, apart from the requirement that the set be a complete metric space, all conditions and conclusions of the theorem are phrased topologically.

We prove two embedding and extension theorems in the context of the constructive theory of metric spaces.
As a first application, we derive new relationships between "continuity principles" asserting that all functions between specified metric spaces are pointwise continuous.
As a second application, we show that, when the notion of inhabited complete separable metric space without isolated points is interpreted in a recursion-theoretic setting, then, for any such space X, there exists a Banach-Mazur computable function from X to the computable real numbers that is not Markov computable.
