Characterization of metric spaces whose free space is isometric to $\ell_1$

Abstract

We characterize metric spaces whose Lipschitz free space is isometric to 1\ell_1. In particular, the Lipschitz free space over an ultrametric space is not isometric to 1(Γ)\ell_1(\Gamma) for any set Γ\Gamma. We give a lower bound for the Banach-Mazur distance in the finite case.
