    On the isometric embedding problem for length metric spaces

    Full text link
    We prove that every proper nn-dimensional length metric space admits an "approximate isometric embedding" into Lorentzian space R3n+6,1\mathbb{R}^{3n+6,1}. By an "approximate isometric embedding" we mean an embedding which preserves the energy functional on a prescribed set of geodesics connecting a dense set of points.Comment: 40 pages, 10 figure

    Lipschitz embeddings of random sequences

    Full text link
    We develop a new multi-scale framework flexible enough to solve a number of problems involving embedding random sequences into random sequences. Grimmett, Liggett and Richthammer asked whether there exists an increasing M-Lipschitz embedding from one i.i.d. Bernoulli sequences into an independent copy with positive probability. We give a positive answer for large enough M. A closely related problem is to show that two independent Poisson processes on R are roughly isometric (or quasi-isometric). Our approach also applies in this case answering a conjecture of Szegedy and of Peled. Our theorem also gives a new proof to Winkler's compatible sequences problem.Comment: 46 pages, 3 figures adde

    Global embeddings of BTZ and Schwarzschild-AdS type black holes in a flat space

    Full text link
    We study the problem of construction of global isometric embedding for spherically symmetric black holes with negative cosmological constant in various dimensions. Firstly, we show that there is no such embedding for 4D RN-AdS black hole in 6D flat ambient space, completing the classification which we started earlier. Then we construct an explicit embedding of non-spinning BTZ black hole in 6D flat ambient space. Using this embedding as an anzats, we then construct a global explicit embedding of (d)-dimensional Schwarzschild-AdS black hole in a flat (d+3)-dimensional ambient space.Comment: 15 page
