Abstract
A metric gauge on a set is a maximal collection of metrics on the set such that the identity map between any two metrics from the collection is locally bi-Lipschitz. We characterize metric gauges that are locally branched Euclidean and discuss an obstruction to removing the branching. Our characterization is a mixture of analysis, geometry, and topology with an argument of Yu. Reshetnyak to produce the branched coordinates for the gauge.
