\textbf{\Large Metric spaces}

\abbreviation{MetSp}

\begin{definition}
A \emph{metric space} is a structure $\mathbf{X}=\langle X,d\rangle$, where $d:X\times X\to [0,infty)$ is a \emph{distance metric}, i.e.,

points zero distance apart are identical: $d(x,y)=0\iff x=y$

$d$ is \emph{symmetric}:  $d(x,y)=d(y,x)$

the \emph{triangle inequality} holds: $d(x,z)\le d(x,y)+d(y,z)$

Remark: This is a template.

It is not unusual to give several (equivalent) definitions. Ideally, one of the definitions would give an irredundant axiomatization that does not refer to other classes.
\end{definition}

\begin{morphisms}
Let $\mathbf{X}$ and $\mathbf{Y}$ be metric spaces. A morphism from $\mathbf{X}$ to $\mathbf{Y}$ is a function $h:X\rightarrow Y$ that is continuous in
the topology induced by the metric: $\forall z\in X\ \forall\epsilon>0\ \exists\delta>0\ \forall x\in X(0<d(x,z)<\delta\implies d(h(x),h(z))<\epsilon$
\end{morphisms}

\begin{definition}
An \emph{...} is a structure $\mathbf{A}=\langle A,...\rangle$ of type $\langle ...\rangle$ such that

$...$ is ...:  $axiom$

$...$ is ...:  $axiom$
