The distance problem on measured metric spaces
What distributions arise as the distribution of the distance between two typical points in some measured metric space? This seems to be a surprisingly subtle problem. We conjecture that every distribution with a density function whose support contains <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:math> does arise in this way, and give some partial results in that direction.
