Abstract

In this note we prove that a molecule d(x,y)1(δ(x)δ(y))d(x,y)^{-1}(\delta(x)-\delta(y)) is an exposed point of the unit ball of a Lispchitz free space F(M)\mathcal F(M) if and only if the metric segment [x,y]={zM  :  d(x,y)=d(z,x)+d(z,y)}[x,y]=\{z \in M \; : \; d(x,y)=d(z,x)+d(z,y) \} is reduced to {x,y}\{x,y\}. This is based on a recent result due to Aliaga and Perneck\'a which states that the class of Lipschitz free spaces over closed subsets of M is closed under arbitrary intersections when M has finite diameter.
