Abstract

The celebrated Assouad embedding theorem has been known for over 40 years. It states that for any doubling metric space (with doubling constant C0) there exists an integer N, such that for any α∈ (0.5,1) there exists a positive constant C(α,C0) and an injective function F:X→ ℝN such that ∀ x,y∈ X C-1 d(x,y)α ≤ ‖F(x)-F(y) ‖ ≤ Cd(x,y)α In the paper we use the remetrization techniques to extend the said theorem to a broad subclass of semimetric spaces. We also present the limitations of this extension -- in particular, we prove that in any semimetric space which satisfies the claim of the Assouad theorem, the relaxed triangle condition holds as well, which means that there exists K≥ 1 such that ∀ x,y,z∈ X d(x,z)≤ K( d(x,y)+d(y,z)).
