For a class of integral operators with kernels metric functions on manifold we find some necessary and sufficient conditions to have finite rank. The problem we pose has a stochastic nature and boils down to the following alternative question. For a random sample of discrete points, what will be the probability the symmetric matrix of pairwise distances to have full rank? When the metric is an analytic function, the question finds full and satisfactory answer. As an important application, we consider a class of tensor systems of equations formulating the problem of recovering a manifold distribution from its covariance field and solve this problem for representing manifolds such as Euclidean space and unit sphere.
