Lipschitz functions on topometric spaces

Abstract

We study functions on topometric spaces which are both (metrically) Lipschitz and (topologically) continuous, using them in contexts where, in classical topology, ordinary continuous functions are used. We study the relations of such functions with topometric versions of classical separation axioms, namely, nor- mality and complete regularity, as well as with completions of topometric spaces. We also recover a compact topometric space X from the lattice of continuous 1-Lipschitz functions on X , in analogy with the recovery of a compact topological space X from the structure of (real or complex) functions on X. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification 54D15 (primary); 54E99, 46E05 (sec- ondary)
