Graham and Winkler derived a formula for the determinant of the distance matrix of a full-dimensional set of $n + 1$ points ${ x_{0}, x_{1}, ldots , x_{n} }$ in the Hamming cube $H_{n} = ( { 0,1 }^{n}, ell_{1} )$. In this article we derive a formula for the determinant of the distance matrix $D$ of an arbitrary set of $m + 1$ points ${ x_{0}, x_{1}, ldots , x_{m} }$ in $H_{n}$. It follows from this more general formula that $det (D) ot= 0$ if and only if the vectors $x_{0}, x_{1}, ldots , x_{m}$ are affinely independent. Specializing to the case $m = n$ provides new insights into the original formula of Graham and Winkler. A significant difference that arises between the cases $m < n$ and $m = n$ is noted. We also show that if $D$ is the distance matrix of an unweighted tree on $n + 1$ vertices, then $langle D^{-1} mathbf{1}, mathbf{1} rangle = 2/n$ where $mathbf{1}$ is the column vector all of whose coordinates are $1$. Finally, we derive a new proof of Murugans classification of the subsets of $H_{n}$ that have strict $1$-negative type.
Let $D$ denote the distance matrix for an $n+1$ point metric space $(X,d)$. In the case that $X$ is an unweighted metric tree, the sum of the entries in $D^{-1}$ is always equal to $2/n$. Such trees can be considered as affinely independent subsets o
The Lipschitz geometry of segments of the infinite Hamming cube is studied. Tight estimates on the distortion necessary to embed the segments into spaces of continuous functions on countable compact metric spaces are given. As an application, the fir
Let $mathcal{M}(Omega, mu)$ denote the algebra of all scalar-valued measurable functions on a measure space $(Omega, mu)$. Let $B subset mathcal{M}(Omega, mu)$ be a set of finitely supported measurable functions such that the essential range of each
$H_q(n,d)$ is defined as the graph with vertex set ${mathbb Z}_q^n$ and where two vertices are adjacent if their Hamming distance is at least $d$. The chromatic number of these graphs is presented for various sets of parameters $(q,n,d)$. For the $4$
Within the class of reflexive Banach spaces, we prove a metric characterization of the class of asymptotic-$c_0$ spaces in terms of a bi-Lipschitz invariant which involves metrics that generalize the Hamming metric on $k$-subsets of $mathbb{N}$. We a
