Plastic metric spaces and groups
A metric space is plastic if all its non-expansive bijections are isometries. We prove three main results: (1) every countable dense subspace of a normed space is not plastic, (2) every $k$-crowded separable metric space contains a plastic dense subspace, and (3) every strictly convex separable metric group contains a plastic dense subgroup.
