Abstract
A pseudolength function defined on an arbitrary group G â� (G, ·, e, ( ) â��1 ) is a map â��: G â�� 0, +â��) obeying â��(e) â� 0, the symmetry property â��(x â��1 ) â� â��(x), and the triangle inequality â��(xy) â�¤ â��(x) + â��(y) for all x, y â�� G. We consider pseudolength functions which saturate the triangle inequality whenever x â� y, or equivalently those that are homogeneous in the sense that â��(x n ) â� nâ��(x) for all n â�� â��. We show that this implies that â��(x, y]) â� 0 for all x, y â�� G. This leads to a classification of such pseudolength functions as pullbacks from embeddings into a Banach space. We also obtain a quantitative version of our main result which allows for defects in the triangle inequality or the homogeneity property. © 2018, Mathematical Sciences Publishers.
