Abstract

Around 1930, Menger expressed his interest in the concept of abstract angle function. He introduced a general definition of this notion for metric and semi-metric spaces. He also proposed two problems concerning conformal embeddability of spaces endowed with an angle function into Euclidean spaces. These problems received attention in later years but only for some particular cases of metric spaces. In this article, we first update the definition of angle function to apply to the larger class of spaces with a notion of betweenness, which seem to us a more natural framework. In this new general setting, we solve the two problems proposed by Menger.
