Compact metrizable groups are isometry groups of compact metric spaces
Julien Melleray
This note is devoted to proving the following result: given a compact metrizable group G, there is a compact metric space K such that G is isomorphic (as a topological group) to th…

Geometry in Urysohn's universal metric space
Julien Melleray
Recently, much interest was devoted to the Urysohn universal metric space U and its isometries; this paper is a contribution to this field of research. In particular, we study some…

Stabilizers of closed sets in the Urysohn space
Julien Melleray
Answering a question of Gao and Kechris, we show that, given any polish group G, there exists a closed subset F of Urysohn's universal metric space U such that G is (topologically)…
