Following the general principles of noncommutative geometry, it is possible to define a metric on the space of pure states of the noncommutative algebra generated by the coordinates. This metric generalizes the usual Riemannian one. We investigate some general properties of this metric in finite com
Let n k denote the number of times the kth largest distance occurs among a set S of n points. We show that if S is the set of vertices of a convex polygone in the euclidean plane, then n1+2n2~3n and n2<~n +n 1. Together with the well-known inequality n~<~n and the trivial inequalities n~>~O and n2>~
