Extending Partial Isometries
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that a finite metric space A admits an extension to a finite metric space B so that each partial isometry of A extends to an isometry of B. We also prove a more precise result on extending a single partial isometry of a finite metric space. Both these results have consequences for the structure of the isometry groups of the rational Urysohn metric space and the Urysohn metric space.

Substitutions, Partial Isometries of IR, and Actions on Trees
In this paper we outline a connection between substitution dynamical systems and systems of partial isometries of IR. Let τ be a primitive substitution and (X,T ) the associated minimal subshift. Associated to each real geometric realization G of τ is a system of partial isometries IG . The subshift (X,T ) generated by τ provides a symbolic coding of the dynamics of IG . This allows us to deduc...

A collection of partial isometries whose range and initial projections satisfy a specified set of conditions often gives rise to a partial representation of a group. The Calgebra generated by the partial isometries is thus a quotient of the universal C-algebra for partial representations of the group, from which it inherits a crossed product structure, of an abelian C-algebra by a partial actio...

متن کاملPartial Orders on Partial Isometries
This paper studies three natural pre-orders of increasing generality on the set of all completely non-unitary partial isometries with equal defect indices. We show that the problem of determining when one partial isometry is less than another with respect to these pre-orders is equivalent to the existence of a bounded (or isometric) multiplier between two natural reproducing kernel Hilbert spac...
