This metric is defined for group-theoretic purposes but has found important applications in probability theory as well. Also, there exist several generalizations of this metric. For instance, the Gromov-Hausdorff-Prokhorov metric defines the distance of two measured metric spaces. Other examples consider metric spaces equipped with a distinguished point, a closed subset, a curve, a tuple of such structures, etc. In this talk, a general approach is presented for generalizing the Gromov-Hausdorff metric to consider metric spaces equipped with some additional structure.
