A note on nonseparable Lipschitz-free spaces

Functional Analysis 2024-04-08 v2

Abstract

We prove that several classical Banach space properties are equivalent to separability for the class of Lipschitz-free spaces, including Corson's property (C\mathcal{C}), Talponen's Countable Separation Property, or being a G\^ateaux differentiability space. On the other hand, we single out more general properties where this equivalence fails. In particular, the question whether the duals of non-separable Lipschitz-free spaces have a weak^* sequentially compact ball is undecidable in ZFC. Finally, we provide an example of a nonseparable dual Lipschitz-free space that fails the Radon-Nikod\'ym property.
