Abstract

The study of geometric representations of combinatorial structures (notably graphs) is a very wide area encompassing many disciplines. In this survey, however, we focus exclusively on geometric representations of metrics which achieve low distortion, as defined in the introduction. For a survey of many other ways of embedding combinatorial structures into geometric spaces, see [LV99].
