Review text

In the paper there are presented results concerning the geodesic distance on various classes of spaces. There is considered a closed connected subanalytical subset \(A\) of \(\mathbb{R}^n\) with the induced metric \(d\). Some properties of the geodesic metric \(\widetilde d\) on \(A\) are found. In particular, there is proved that if \(A\) is compact, the identity mapping \((A, d) \to (A, \widetilde d)\) is a Hölder isomorphism, and that if \(A\) is subanalytical and \(\dim A =1\) or \(n=2\), then \(\widetilde d\) is subanalytical. At the end of the paper the author discusses properties of the geodesic distance on sub-Riemannian manifolds (Carnot-Carathéodory manifolds) and on Riemannian stratified spaces. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0882.00014].
