Abstract

The main result of the paper: Given any ε>0\varepsilon>0, every locally finite subset of 2\ell_2 admits a (1+ε)(1+\varepsilon)-bilipschitz embedding into an arbitrary infinite-dimensional Banach space. The result is based on two results which are of independent interest: (1) A direct sum of two finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces contains a sub-sum of a controlled dimension which is ε\varepsilon-close to a direct sum with respect to a 11-unconditional basis in a two-dimensional space. (2) For any finite-dimensional Banach space YY and its direct sum XX with itself with respect to a 11-unconditional basis in a two-dimensional space, there exists a (1+ε)(1+\varepsilon)-bilipschitz embedding of YY into XX which on a small ball coincides with the identity map onto the first summand and on a complement of a large ball coincides with the identity map onto the second summand.
