Generalised metric

In mathematics, the concept of a generalised metric is a generalisation of that of a metric, in which the distance is not a real number but taken from an arbitrary ordered field. In general, when we define metric space the distance function is taken to be a real-valued function. The real numbers form an ordered field which is Archimedean and order complete. These metric spaces have some nice properties like: in a metric space compactness, sequential compactness and countable compactness are equivalent etc. These properties may not, however, hold so easily if the distance function is taken in an arbitrary ordered field, instead of in (Wikipedia).

What is General Relativity? Lesson 8: Intro to the metric connection and the induced metric.

This lesson is an introduction to the concept of the metric connection followed by a long exercise in classical differential geometry. It is a long lesson because I complete a full example: the derivation of the metric of the "glome" induced by the Euclidean metric of 4-dimensional space.

What is a metric space ?

Metric space definition and examples. Welcome to the beautiful world of topology and analysis! In this video, I present the important concept of a metric space, and give 10 examples. The idea of a metric space is to generalize the concept of absolute values and distances to sets more gener

MAST30026 Lecture 18: Banach spaces (Part 1)

There are many Lipschitz equivalent metrics on Euclidean space, apart from the sup-metric (which we have successfully generalised to function spaces) there are also metrics defined using sums. To generalise those, we need integrals, and the resulting theory leads to Banach spaces. In this

IGA - Lars Sektnan Extremal Kähler metrics on blowups

Abstract: Extremal Kähler metrics were introduced by Calabi in the 80’s as a type of canonical Kähler metric on a Kähler manifold, and are a generalisation of constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics in the case when the manifold admits automorphisms. A natural question is when the blowup
