Samplings and observables. Invariants of metric measure spaces
  In the paper we are dealing with metric measure spaces of diameter at most one and of total measure one. Gromov introduced the sampling compactification of the set of these spaces. He asked whether the metric measure space invariants extend to the compactification. Using ideas of the newly developed theory of graph limits we identify the elements of the compactification with certain geometric objects and show how to extend various invariants to this space. We will introduce the notion of ultralimit of metric measure spaces, that will be the main technical tool of our paper.
