Labeled trees generating complete, compact, and discrete ultrametric spaces

Abstract

We investigate the interrelations between labeled trees and ultrametric spaces generated by these trees. The labeled trees, which generate complete ultrametrics, totally bounded ultrametrics, and discrete ones, are characterized up to isomorphism. As corollary, we obtain a characterization of labeled trees generating compact ultrametrics, and discrete totally bounded ultrametrics. It is also shown that every ultrametric space generated by labeled tree contains a dense discrete subspace.
