Lipschitz-free spaces over Cantor sets and approximation properties

Functional Analysis 2023-05-15 v1

Abstract

Let K=2NK=2^\mathbb{N} be the Cantor set, let M\mathcal{M} be the set of all metrics dd on KK that give its usual (product) topology, and equip M\mathcal{M} with the topology of uniform convergence, where the metrics are regarded as functions on K2K^2. We prove that the set of metrics dMd\in\mathcal{M} for which the Lipschitz-free space F(K,d)\mathcal{F}(K,d) has the metric approximation property is a residual FσδF_{\sigma\delta} set in M\mathcal{M}, and that the set of metrics dMd\in\mathcal{M} for which F(K,d)\mathcal{F}(K,d) fails the approximation property is a dense meager set in M\mathcal{M}. This answers a question posed by G. Godefroy.
