Abstract

We show that for each p(0,1]p\in(0,1] there exists a separable pp-Banach space Gp\mathbb G_p of almost universal disposition, that is, having the following extension property: for each ϵ>0\epsilon>0 and each isometric embedding g:XYg:X\to Y, where YY is a finite dimensional pp-Banach space and XX is a subspace of Gp\mathbb G_p, there is an ϵ\epsilon-isometry f:YGpf:Y\to \mathbb G_p such that x=f(g(x))x=f(g(x)) for all xXx\in X. Such a space is unique, up to isometries, does contain an isometric copy of each separable pp-Banach space and has the remarkable property of being "locally injective" amongst pp-Banach spaces. We also present a nonseparable generalization which is of universal disposition for separable spaces and "separably injective". No separably injective pp-Banach space was previously known for p<1p<1.
