Most of this looks like it could go to HOL-Analysis.

In my opinion, Hausdorff_Distance and Metric_Completion are general enough to put them to HOL-Analysis.
(They are also relatively short, so I am not sure if it is worth to create separate AFP entries.)

The theory Isometries contains Lipschitz maps, isometries, geodesic spaces, and quasi-isometries.
The very same definition of Lipschitz maps is also in AFP/Ordinary_Differential_Equations, so I take this as a strong indication to move Lipschitz maps to HOL-Analysis. Isometries also seem like a generically useful concept and could go to HOL-Analysis.

My impression is that geodesic spaces and quasi-isometries are more specialised concepts (but that might also be just because I have never come across them up to now...). I have no real opinion on what to do with them.


We do not have a precise specification of what HOL-Analysis is or should be. I think that makes it very hard to draw a line between material that should go to HOL-Analysis and what should remain in the AFP. So take this as just my personal view.
