The Urysohn universal space is a certain metric space that contains all separable space separable metric spaces in a particularly nice manner. This mathematics concept is due to Pavel Samuilovich Urysohn . Definition A metric space U , d is called Urysohn universal ref citation title Geometric embeddings of metric spaces url http www.math.jyu.fi research reports rep90.ps author Juha Heinonen date January 2003 accessdate 6 January 2009 ref if it is separable and complete space complete and has the following property given any finite metric space X , any point x in X , and any isometry isometric embedding f X x U , there exists an isometric embedding F X U that extends f , i.e. such that F y f y for all y in X x . Properties If U is Urysohn universal and X is any separable metric space, then there exists an isometric embedding f X U . Other spaces share this property for instance, the space l sup sup of all bounded real sequence s with the uniform norm supremum norm admits isometric embeddings of all separable metric spaces Maurice Ren Fr chet Fr chet embedding , as does the space C 0,1 of all continuous function s 0,1 R , again with the supremum norm, a result due to Stefan Banach . Furthermore, every isometry between finite subsets of U extends to an isometry of U onto itself. This kind of homogeneity actually characterizes Urysohn universal spaces A separable complete metric space that contains an isometric image of every separable metric space is Urysohn universal if and only if it is homogeneous in this sense. Existence and uniqueness Urysohn proved that an Urysohn universal space exists, and that any two Urysohn universal spaces are isometry isometric .
