The finite ultrametric spaces $X$ with $|X| \\geq 2$ are not rigid since for every such $X$ there is a self-isometry having exactly $|X|-2$ fixed points. Using the representing trees we characterize the finite ultrametric spaces $X$ for which every self-isometry has at least $|X|-2$ fixed points. Some other extremal properties of such spaces and related graph theoretical characterizations are also obtained.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-11-25T17:47:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "54E35" ], "keywords": [ "finite ultrametric spaces", "fixed points", "self-isometry", "related graph theoretical characterizations", "isometry group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
