Abstract

We study several embeddings of doubling metrics into low dimensional normed spaces, in particular into 2 and . Doubling metrics are a robust class of metric spaces that have low intrinsic dimension, and often occur in applications. Understanding the dimension required for a concise representation of such metrics is a fundamental open problem in the area of metric embedding. Here we show that the n-vertex Laakso graph can be embedded into constant dimensional 2 with the best possible distortion, which has implications for possible approaches to the above problem.
Since arbitrary doubling metrics require high distortion for embedding into 2 and even into 1, we turn to the space that enables us to obtain arbitrarily small distortion. We show embeddings of doubling metrics and their ”snowflakes” into low dimensional space that simplify and extend previous results.

1
It is quite conceivable that 2 dimensions suffice, we used 3 to simplify the analysis.
 
2
Note that all the angles are less than π/8, 𝜃 w ,𝜃 x ≤1, so the higher terms of the Taylor expansion are indeed negligible.
