Random metric spaces and universality
A. M. Vershik St. Petersburg Department of V. A. Steklov Institute of Mathematics, Russian Academy of Sciences
Abstract:
The notion of random metric space is defined, and it is proved that such a space is isometric to
the Urysohn universal metric space with probability one. The main technique is the study of universal and random distance matrices; properties of metric (in particular, universal) spaces are related to properties of distance matrices. Examples of other categories in
which randomness and universality coincide (graphs, and so on) are given.
