On the isometry group of the Urysohn space
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give a general criterion for the (bounded) simplicity of the automorphism groups of certain countable structures and apply it to show that the isometry group of the Urysohn space modulo the normal subgroup of bounded isometries is a simple group.

1 1 Ju l 2 00 4 Some isometry groups of Urysohn space
We construct various isometry groups of Urysohn space (the unique complete separable metric space which is universal and homogeneous), including abelian groups which act transitively, and free groups which are dense in the full isometry group.

متن کاملExtending Partial Isometries
We show that a finite metric space A admits an extension to a finite metric space B so that each partial isometry of A extends to an isometry of B. We also prove a more precise result on extending a single partial isometry of a finite metric space. Both these results have consequences for the structure of the isometry groups of the rational Urysohn metric space and the Urysohn metric space.
متن کاملThe isometry group of the Urysohn space as a Lévy group
We prove that the isometry group Iso (U) of the universal Urysohn metric space U equipped with the natural Polish topology is a Lévy group in the sense of Gromov and Milman, that is, admits an approximating chain of compact (in fact, finite) subgroups, exhibiting the phenomenon of concentration of measure. This strengthens an earlier result by Vershik stating that Iso (U) has a dense locally fi...
متن کاملGlobalization of the partial isometries of metric spaces and local approximation of the group of isometries of Urysohn space
We prove the equivalence of the two important facts about finite metric spaces and universal Urysohn metric spaces U, namely theorem A and theorem B below: Theorem A (Approximation): The group of isometry ISO(U) contains everywhere dense locally finite subgroup; Theorem G(Globalization): For each finite metric space F there exists another finite metric space F̄ and isometric imbedding j of F to ...
