TLDR
In this article, it was shown that compact homogeneity is the strongest homogeneity property possible in the Urysohn space U and its isometry group, and that any Polish metric space is isometric to the set of fixed points of some isometry φ.

On subgroups of minimal topological groups

TL;DR: A topological group is a subgroup of a minimal topologically simple Roelcke-precompact group of the form Iso (M ), where M is an appropriate non-separable version of the Urysohn space as discussed by the authors.

Structural Ramsey theory of metric spaces and topological dynamics of isometry groups

Lionel Nguyen
- 10 Apr 2008 - 
TL;DR: In 2003, Kechris, Pestov and Todorcevic showed that the structure of certain separable metric spaces is closely related to the combinatorial behavior of the class of their finite metric spaces.

Extending lipschitz maps into c(k)-spaces

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if K is a compact metric space, then C(K) is a 2-absolute Lipschitz retract, and the same result holds for spaces with Gateaux smooth norm or of dimension two.

Classical descriptive set theory

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a largely balanced approach, which combines many elements of the different traditions of the subject, and includes a wide variety of examples, exercises, and applications, in order to illustrate the general concepts and results of the theory.

Metric Structures for Riemannian and Non-Riemannian Spaces

TL;DR: In this paper, Loewner proposed a metric structure with a bounded Ricci Curvature for length structures on families of metric spaces, where the degree and dilatation of the length structure is a function of degree and degree.

The descriptive set theory of Polish group actions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present their research into the foundations of the theory of Polish groups and the associated orbit equivalence relations, which is a special case of locally compact groups and has been studied in many areas of mathematics.

The Descriptive Set Theory of Polish Group Actions: DESCRIPTIVE SET THEORY

TL;DR: The descriptive set theory of polish group actions are a good way to achieve details about operating certain products as discussed by the authors. But they are not a good fit for the use of instruction manuals.
