Free Banach spaces and the approximation properties

Functional Analysis 2012-07-13 v2

Abstract

We characterize the metric spaces whose free space has the bounded approximation property through a Lipschitz analogue of the local reflexivity principle. We show that there exist compact metric spaces whose free spaces fail the approximation property.
