Abstract: We introduce the notion of a smocked metric spaces and explore the balls and geodesics in a collection of different smocked spaces. We find their rescaled Gromov-Hausdorff limits and prove these tangent cones at infinity exist, are unique, and are normed spaces. We close with a variety of open questions suitable for advanced undergraduates, masters students, and doctoral students.

Review text

Inspired by the definition of pulled thread spaces, Sormani introduces smocked metric spaces in the paper. Then Sormani and Maziar show that a smocked space is complete and noncompact. The authors give some examples of smocked spaces and show unique tangent cones for various smocked spaces that are normed spaces instead of Euclidean spaces.
