Abstract

$ω$-periodic graphs are introduced and studied. These are graphs which arise as the limits of periodic extensions of the nearest neighbor graph on the integers. We observe that all bounded degree $ω$-periodic graphs are ameanable. We also provide examples of $ω$-periodic graphs which have exponential volume growth, non-linear polynomial volume growth and intermediate volume growth.

The disjoint disks property for Busemann $G$-spaces

We prove that every finite-dimensional Busemann $G$-space of dimension at least five has the disjoint disks property (DDP). For a sufficiently small metric sphere $L=S(c,r)$, we show that every embedded arc contained in an exact distance level is a homotopical $Z_2$-set in $L$. It follows that $L$ has the disjoint arc-disk property and the disjoint homotopies property. Daverman's product theorem then gives DDP for $L\times\mathbb R$, and a local avoidance argument at the center yields DDP for the ambient $G$-space. Since finite-dimensional Busemann $G$-spaces are generalized manifolds, in dimensions at least five the remaining obstruction to the Busemann conjecture is the resolution problem.

Every Compact Metric Space Is Isometrically Embeddable into the Gromov-Hausdorff Space

Let $(\mathcal{M},d_{\mathrm{GH}})$ denote the Gromov-Hausdorff space of isometry classes of nonempty compact metric spaces. We prove that every nonempty compact metric space is isometrically embeddable into $(\mathcal{M},d_{\mathrm{GH}})$. More precisely, for every $D>0$ and every nonempty compact metric space $K$ with $\operatorname{diam} K\le D$, we realize the space of all $1$-Lipschitz functions on $K$ with values in $[0,D]$ as a family of metrics on a fixed Cantor space. Under this realization, the Gromov-Hausdorff distance agrees exactly with the uniform distance between functions, and each resulting metric space has diameter at most $76D$. We also construct finite approximations for which the Gromov-Hausdorff distance is given by an exact formula, together with a uniform approximation estimate.

Measure contraction property on isometric leaves and monotone fibres

For finite measures with positive densities on convex Euclidean supports, we prove that $MCP(κ,N)$ passes with unchanged parameters to almost every isometric leaf of an arbitrary nonexpansive map. The proof rests on a sharp contraction inequality for geometric conditional densities, with exponent equal to the leaf codimension. The inherited dimension parameter is optimal. A total-variation limit on resolvent graphs extends the result to inverse fibres of maximal monotone relations, including convex gradient fibres. We also disprove Klartag's curvature-dimension inheritance conjecture by a firmly nonexpansive example in dimension three and a gradient example in dimension four. In codimension one, affinity of the geometric density yields curvature-dimension inheritance. The first example also gives failure on monotone fibres. Both constructions admit arbitrarily large curvature loss, including for a fixed Gaussian ambient measure on families of leaves of positive quotient measure.
