Abstract

For a metric space (K,d)(K,d) the Banach space \Lip(K)\Lip(K) consists of all scalar-valued bounded Lipschitz functions on KK with the norm fL=max(f,L(f))\|f\|_{L}=\max(\|f\|_{\infty},L(f)), where L(f)L(f) is the Lipschitz constant of ff. The closed subspace \lip(K)\lip(K) of \Lip(K)\Lip(K) contains all elements of \Lip(K)\Lip(K) satisfying the \lip\lip-condition lim0<d(x,y)0f(x)f(y)/d(x,y)=0\lim_{0<d(x,y)\to 0}|f(x)-f(y)|/d(x,y)=0. For K=([0,1],α)K=([0,1],| {\cdot} |^{\alpha}), 0<α<10<\alpha<1, we prove that \lip(K)\lip(K) is a proper MM-ideal in a certain subspace of \Lip(K)\Lip(K) containing a copy of \ell^{\infty}.
