Diversities are like metric spaces, except that every nite subset, instead of just every pair of points, is assigned a value. Just as there is a theory of minimal distortion embeddings of nite metric spaces into L , there is a similar, yet undeveloped, theory for embedding nite diversities into the diversity analogue of L spaces. In the metric case, it is well known that an n-point metric space can be embedded into L with O(log n) distortion. For diversities, the optimal distortion is unknown. Here, we establish the surprising result that symmetric diversities, those in which the diversity (value) assigned to a set depends only on its cardinality, can be embedded in L with constant distortion.
