A Lorentzian Lipschitz, Gromov-Hausdorff notion of distance

چکیده
This paper is the first of three in which I study the moduli space of isometry classes of (compact) globally hyperbolic spacetimes (with boundary). I introduce a notion of Gromov-Hausdorff distance which makes this moduli space into a metric space. Further properties of this metric space are studied in the next papers. The importance of the work can be situated in fields such as cosmology, quantum gravity and for the mathematicians global Lorentzian geometry.

متن کاملGromov–hausdorff Distance for Quantum Metric Spaces
By a quantum metric space we mean a C∗-algebra (or more generally an order-unit space) equipped with a generalization of the usual Lipschitz seminorm on functions which one associates to an ordinary metric. We develop for compact quantum metric spaces a version of Gromov–Hausdorff distance. We show that the basic theorems of the classical theory have natural quantum analogues. Our main example ...
متن کامل2 3 N ov 2 00 4 ON GROMOV - HAUSDORFF CONVERGENCE FOR OPERATOR METRIC SPACES
We introduce an analogue for Lip-normed operator systems of the second author’s order-unit quantum Gromov-Hausdorff distance and prove that it is Lipschitz equivalent to the first author’s complete distance. This enables us to consolidate the basic theory of what might be called operator Gromov-Hausdorff convergence. In particular we establish a completeness theorem and deduce continuity in qua...
متن کاملSome Properties of Gromov-Hausdorff Distances
The Gromov–Hausdorff distance between metric spaces appears to be a useful tool for modeling some object matching procedures. Since its conception it has been mainly used by pure mathematicians who are interested in the topology generated by this distance, and quantitative consequences of the definition are not very common. As a result, only few lower bounds for the distance are known, and the ...
متن کاملGromov-Hausdorff convergence of non-Archimedean fuzzy metric spaces
We introduce the notion of the Gromov-Hausdorff fuzzy distance between two non-Archimedean fuzzy metric spaces (in the sense of Kramosil and Michalek). Basic properties involving convergence and the fuzzy version of the completeness theorem are presented. We show that the topological properties induced by the classic Gromov-Hausdorff distance on metric spaces can be deduced from our approach.
