Definable Functions in Urysohn’s Metric Space
نویسنده
چکیده
Let U denote the Urysohn sphere and consider U as a metric structure in the empty continuous signature. We prove that every definable function U → U is either a projection function or else has relatively compact range. As a consequence, we prove that many functions natural to the study of the Urysohn sphere are not definable. We end with further topological information on the range of the definable function in case it is compact.

On the Topology of Metric Spaces Definable in o-minimal expansions of fields
We study the topology of metric spaces which are definable in o-minimal expansions of ordered fields. We show that a definable metric space either contains an infinite definable discrete set or is definably homeomorphic to a definable set equipped with its euclidean topology. This implies that a separable metric space which is definable in an o-minimal expansion of the real field is definably h...
متن کاملCompleteness in Probabilistic Metric Spaces
The idea of probabilistic metric space was introduced by Menger and he showed that probabilistic metric spaces are generalizations of metric spaces. Thus, in this paper, we prove some of the important features and theorems and conclusions that are found in metric spaces. At the beginning of this paper, the distance distribution functions are proposed. These functions are essential in defining p...

متن کاملAn approximate Herbrand's theorem and definable functions in metric structures
We develop a version of Herbrand’s theorem for continuous logic and use it to prove that definable functions in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces are piecewise approximable by affine functions. We obtain similar results for definable functions in Hilbert spaces expanded by a group of generic unitary operators and Hilbert spaces expanded by a generic subspace. We also show how Herbrand’s theor...
متن کاملGeneric Separable Metric Structures
We compare three notions of genericity of separable metric structures. Our analysis provides a general model theoretic technique of showing that structures are generic in descriptive set theoretic (topological) sense and in measure theoretic sense. In particular, it gives a new perspective on Vershik’s theorems on genericity and randomness of Urysohn’s space among separable metric spaces.
