关于某些低失真度量Ramsey问题

On some low distortion metric Ramsey problems

Yair Bartal, Nathan Linial. Manor Mendel, Assaf Naor

摘要:

本文考虑赋范空间l_p上的度量Ramsey问题,即给定某个1<=p<=无穷大且α>=1,以及一个整数n,我们要求最大的m使得每个n点度量空间包含一个m点子空间,该m点子空间嵌入l_p且失真至多为α.在[arXiv:math.MG/0406353]中,示出了在l_2的情况下,$m$对α的依赖性在α =2处经历相变。在这里,我们考虑这个问题的其他l_p,特别是发生相变的p以外的2。结果表明,对于区间[1,2]中的每一个p,在α =2处确实发生相变。对于p>2,我们无法确定答案,但提供了这种相变的可能位置的估计。我们还研究了等距嵌入的类似问题,证明了对任意1<p<infinity,存在任意大的度量空间,其中没有四个点等距嵌入l_p中。

英文摘要:

In this note, we consider the metric Ramsey problem for the normed spaces l_p. Namely, given some 1<=p<=infinity and alpha>=1, and an integer n, we ask for the largest m such that every n-point metric space contains an m-point subspace which embeds into l_p with distortion at most alpha. In [arXiv:math.MG/0406353] it is shown that in the case of l_2, the dependence of $m$ on alpha undergoes a phase transition at alpha=2. Here we consider this problem for other l_p, and specifically the occurrence of a phase transition for p other than 2. It is shown that a phase transition does occur at alpha=2 for every p in the interval [1,2]. For p>2 we are unable to determine the answer, but estimates are provided for the possible location of such a phase transition. We also study the analogous problem for isometric embedding and show that for every 1<p<infinity there are arbitrarily large metric spaces, no four points of which embed isometrically in l_p.
