Path connectedness of spheres in Gromov-Hausdorff space (Q2320008)

It is well known that the Gromov-Hausdorff distance measuring a difference between two arbitrary metric spaces is a metric on the set of all compact metric spaces \(\mathcal M\). In this paper, the author proves path connectedness of spheres in the metric space \(\mathcal M\) with respect to the Gromov-Hausdorff distance. The author shows that each sphere centered at the single point space is path connected. He also proves that, for any compact metric space \(X\), there exists a number \(R_X\) such that each sphere centered at \(X\) and whose radius is greater than \(R_X\) is path connected. To prove these results, the author also shows some interesting auxiliary properties concerning on continuity of curves defined on \(\mathcal M\).
