The isometry characterization by centers of distances
Let and let and be ultrametric spaces satisfying
and
where denotes the center of distances of . Two ultrametric spaces are isometric if there is a bijection between them preserving all distances.
The isometry characterization. The equality
holds if and only if and are isometric.
This conjecture proposes that, under the stated cardinality and maximal-center hypotheses, the center of distances determines the ultrametric space up to isometry. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
