Extension of Gromov's Lipschitz order to with additive errors

Abstract: Gromov's Lipschitz order is an order relation on the set of metric measure spaces. One of the compactifications of the space of isomorphism classes of metric measure spaces equipped with the concentration topology is constructed by using the Lipschitz order. The concentration topology is deeply related to the concentration of measure phenomenon. In this paper, we extend the Lipschitz order to that with additive errors and prove useful properties. We also discuss the relation of it to a map with the property of 1-Lipschitz up to an additive error.
