Abstract: In this paper, we propose a generalized notion of a distance function, called a $g$-metric. The $g$-metric with degree $n$ is a distance of $n+1$ points, generalizing the ordinary distance between two points and $G$-metric between three points. Indeed, it is shown that the $g$-metric with degree 1 (resp. degree 2) is equivalent to the ordinary metric (resp. the $G$-metric). Fundamental properties and several examples for the $g$-metric are also given. Moreover, topological properties on the $g$-metric space including the convergence of sequences and the continuity of mappings on the $g$-metric space are studied. Finally, we generalize some well-known fixed point theorems including Banach contraction mapping principle and 'Ciri'c fixed point theorem in the $g$-metric space.
