What is Proper Gromov Transforms of Metrics Are Metrics about?
In phylogenetic analysis, a standard problem is to approximate a given metric by an additive metric. Here it is shown that, given a metric D defined on some finite set X and a nonexpansive map f : X + R, the one-parameter family of the Gromov transforms DApf of D relative to f and A that starts with D for large values of A and ends with an additive metric for A = 0 consists exclusively of metrics. It is expected that this result will help to better understand some standard tree reconstruction procedures considered in phylogenetic analysis.
