A metric space M is compact if every sequence has a convergent subsequence. (For general topological spaces this is called sequential compactness and is not equivalent to compactness.) A metric space M is compact if it is complete and totally bounded. (This definition is written in terms of metric properties and does not make sense for a ...
The space M' is determined up to isometry by this property (among all complete metric spaces isometrically containing M), and is called the completion of M. The completion of M can be constructed as a set of equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences in M.
The space Aim(X) is injective (hyperconvex in the sense of Aronszajn-Panitchpakdi) – given a metric space M, which contains Aim(X) as a metric subspace, there is a canonical (and explicit) metric retraction of M onto Aim(X) (Holsztyński 1966).
In mathematics, a contraction mapping, or contraction or contractor, on a metric space (M, d) is a function f from M to itself, with the property that there is some real number < such that for all x and y in M,
Cartan connection. Cartan-Hadamard space is a complete, simply-connected, non-positively curved Riemannian manifold.. Cartan–Hadamard theorem is the statement that a connected, simply connected complete Riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvature is diffeomorphic to R n via the exponential map; for metric spaces, the statement that a connected, simply connected complete ...

The product of a finite set of metric spaces in Met is a metric space that has the cartesian product of the spaces as its points; the distance in the product space is given by the supremum of the distances in the base spaces. That is, it is the product metric with the sup norm. However, the product of an infinite set of metric spaces may not ...
In a metric space, we can define bounded sets and Cauchy sequences. A metric space is called complete if all Cauchy sequences converge. Every incomplete space is isometrically embedded, as a dense subset, into a complete space (the completion). Every compact metric space is complete; the real line is non-compact but complete; the open interval ...
