Abstract
We show the existence of a compact metric space such that whenever embeds isometrically into a Banach space , then any separable Banach space is linearly isometric to a subspace of . We also address the following related question: if a Banach space contains an isometric copy of the unit ball or of some special compact subset of a separable Banach space , does it necessarily contain a subspace isometric to ? We answer positively this question when is a polyhedral finite-dimensional space, or .
