That is, a vector space equipped with an inner product, with the induced metric defined by the norm of the inner product, we have a metric space, which is complete. Reminds that complete mean that every Cauchy sequence, the sequence such that for any $\epsilon>0$, there exists an $N$ such that for all $m,n\geq N$, we have $|x_m-x_n|<\epsilon$, converges to a limit.
As a side note we will use later, we also defined the Borel measure on a space, here we use the following definition specialized for the space (manifolds) we are interested in.
\begin{defn}
\label{defn:Borel_measure}
Borel measure:
Let $X$ be a topological space, then a Borel measure $\mu:\mathscr{B}(X)\to [0,\infty]$ on $X$ is a measure on the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of $X$ $\mathscr{B}(X)$ satisfying the following properties:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $X \in \mathscr{B}$.
\item Close under complement: If $A\subseteq X$, then $\mu(A^c)=\mu(X)-\mu(A)$
\item Close under countable unions; If $E_1,E_2,\cdots$ are disjoint sets, then $\mu(\bigcup_{i=1}^\infty E_i)=\sum_{i=1}^\infty \mu(E_i)$
\end{enumerate}
\end{defn}
In later sections, we will use Lebesgue measure, and Haar measure for various circumstances, their detailed definition may be introduced in later sections.

In this section, we will explore how the results from Hayden's concentration of measure theorem can be understood in terms of observable diameters from Gromov's perspective and what properties it reveals for entropy functions.
We will try to use the results from previous sections to estimate the observable diameter for complex projective spaces.
\section{Observable diameters}
Recall from previous sections, an arbitrary 1-Lipschitz function $f:S^n\to \mathbb{R}$ concentrates near a single value $a_0\in \mathbb{R}$ as strongly as the distance function does.
\begin{defn}
\label{defn:mm-space}
Let $X$ be a topological space with the following:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $X$ is a complete (every Cauchy sequence converges)
\item $X$ is a metric space with metric $d_X$
\item $X$ has a Borel probability measure $\mu_X$
\end{enumerate}
Then $(X,d_X,\mu_X)$ is a \textbf{metric measure space}.
\end{defn}
\begin{defn}
\label{defn:diameter}
Let $(X,d_X)$ be a metric space. The \textbf{diameter} of a set $A\subset X$ is defined as
$$
\diam(A)=\sup_{x,y\in A}d_X(x,y).
$$
\end{defn}
\begin{defn}
\label{defn:partial-diameter}
Let $(X,d_X,\mu_X)$ be a metric measure space, For any real number $\alpha\leq 1$, the \textbf{partial diameter} of $X$ is defined as
$$
\diam(A;\alpha)=\inf_{A\subseteq X|\mu_X(A)\geq \alpha}\diam(A).
$$
\end{defn}
This definition generalize the relation between the measure and metric in the metric-measure space. Intuitively, the space with smaller partial diameter can take more volume with the same diameter constrains.
However, in higher dimensions, the volume may tend to concentrates more around a small neighborhood of the set, as we see in previous chapters with high dimensional sphere as example. We can safely cut $\kappa>0$ volume to significantly reduce the diameter, this yields better measure for concentration for shapes in spaces with high dimension.
\begin{defn}
\label{defn:observable-diameter}
Let $X$ be a metric-measure space, $Y$ be a metric space, and $f:X\to Y$ be a 1-Lipschitz function. Then $f_*\mu_X=\mu_Y$ is a push forward measure on $Y$.
For any real number $\kappa>0$, the \textbf{$\kappa$-observable diameter with screen $Y$} is defined as
$$
\obdiam_Y(X;\kappa)=\sup\{\diam(f_*\mu_X;1-\kappa)\}
$$
And the \textbf{obbservable diameter with screen $Y$} is defined as
$$
\obdiam_Y(X)=\inf_{\kappa>0}\max\{\obdiam_Y(X;\kappa)\}
$$
If $Y=\R$, we call it the \textbf{observable diameter}.
\end{defn}
If we collapse it naively via
$$
\inf_{\kappa>0}\obdiam_Y(X;\kappa),
$$
we typically get something degenerate: as $\kappa\to 1$, the condition ``mass $\ge 1-\kappa$'' becomes almost empty space, so $\diam(\nu;1-\kappa)$ can be forced to be $0$ (take a tiny set of positive mass), and hence the infimum tends to $0$ for essentially any non-atomic space.
This is why one either:
\begin{enumerate}
\item keeps $\obdiam_Y(X;\kappa)$ as a \emph{function of $\kappa$} (picking $\kappa$ to be small but not $0$), or
\item if one insists on a single number, balances ``spread'' against ``exceptional mass'' by defining $\obdiam_Y(X)=\inf_{\kappa>0}\max\{\obdiam_Y(X;\kappa),\kappa\}$ as above.
\end{enumerate}
The point of the $\max\{\cdot,\kappa\}$ is that it prevents cheating by taking $\kappa$ close to $1$: if $\kappa$ is large then the maximum is large regardless of how small $\obdiam_Y(X;\kappa)$ is, so the infimum is forced to occur where the exceptional mass and the observable spread are small.
Few additional proposition in \cite{shioya2014metricmeasuregeometry} will help us to estimate the observable diameter for complex projective spaces.
\begin{prop}
Let $X$ and $Y$ be two metric-measure spaces and $\kappa>0$, and let $f:Y\to X$ be a 1-Lipschitz function ($Y$ dominates $X$, denoted as $X\prec Y$) then:
\begin{enumerate}
\item
$$
\diam(X,1-\kappa)\leq \diam(Y,1-\kappa)
$$
\item $\obdiam(X;-\kappa)\leq \diam(X;1-\kappa)$, and $\obdiam(X)$ is finite.
\item
$$
\obdiam(X;-kappa)\leq \obdiam(Y;-kappa)
$$
\end{enumerate}
\end{prop}
\begin{proof}
Since $f$ is 1-Lipschitz, we have $f_*\mu Y=\mu_X$. Let $A$ be any Borel set of $Y$ with $\mu_Y(A)\geq 1-\kappa$ and $\overline{f(A)}$ be the closure of $f(A)$ in $X$. We have $\mu_X(\overline{f(A)})=\mu_Y(f^{-1}(\overline{f(A)}))\geq \mu_Y(A)\geq 1-\kappa$ and by the 1-lipschitz property, $\diam(\overline{f(A)})\leq \diam(A)$, so $\diam(X;1-\kappa)\leq \diam(A)\leq \diam(Y;1-\kappa)$.
Let $g:X\to \R$ be any 1-lipschitz function, since $(\R,|\cdot|,g_*\mu_X)$ is dominated by $X$, $\diam(\R;1-\kappa)\leq \diam(X;1-\kappa)$. Therefore, $\obdiam(X;-\kappa)\leq \diam(X;1-\kappa)$.
and
$$
\diam(g_*\mu_X;1-\kappa)\leq \diam((f\circ g)_*\mu_Y;1-\kappa)\leq \obdiam(Y;1-\kappa)
$$
\end{proof}
