contents This paper employs techniques from metric geometry and optimal transport theory to address questions related to the analysis of functional data on metric or metric-measure spaces, which we refer to as fields. Formally, fields are viewed as 1-Lipschitz mappings between Polish metric spaces with the domain possibly equipped with a Borel probability measure. We introduce field analogues of the Gromov-Hausdorff, Gromov-Prokhorov, and Gromov-Wasserstein distances, investigate their main properties and provide a characterization of the Gromov-Hausdorff distance in terms of isometric embeddings in a Urysohn universal field. Adapting the notion of distance matrices to fields, we formulate a discrete model, obtain an empirical estimation result that provides a theoretical basis for its use in functional data analysis, and prove a field analogue of Gromov's Reconstruction Theorem. We also investigate field versions of the Vietoris-Rips and neighborhood (or offset) filtrations and prove that they are stable with respect to appropriate metrics.
