Three-point characterization of ultrametric spaces whose subsets are centered spheres
Three-point characterization of ultrametric spaces whose subsets are centered spheres
Let be an ultrametric space with . A centered sphere is a sphere with a center in the underlying space. The three-point centered-sphere conjecture. The following are equivalent: every nonempty subset of is a centered sphere in ; and has exactly three points and is weakly similar to the specified three-point ultrametric space . The source presents this as a characterization, but gives no resolution status.
