Abstract: We study geometric and topological properties of the image of a smooth submanifold of mathbbRn under a bi-Lipschitz map to mathbbRm. In particular, we characterize how the dimension, diameter, volume, and reach of the embedded manifold relate to the original. Our main result establishes a lower bound on the reach of the embedded manifold in the case where mlen and the bi-Lipschitz map is linear. We discuss implications of this work in signal processing and machine learning, where bi-Lipschitz maps on low-dimensional manifolds have been constructed using randomized linear operators.


The paper is dealing with bi-Lipschitz maps of smooth manifolds in \({\mathbb R}^n\) to \({\mathbb R}^m\). The authors obtain relations between dimension, diameter and other similar characteristics of the manifold and its image. In particular, they study so called reach. For a submanifold \(M\subset {\mathbb R}^n\), the reach \(R\) is the largest number such that the open normal bundle of \(M\) of radius \(r\) is embedded in \({\mathbb R}^n\) for all \(r<R\). The authors establish a lower bound for this characteristic.
