Abstract

We prove that for certain subsets MRNM \subseteq \mathbb{R}^N, N1N \geqslant 1, the Lipschitz-free space F(M)\mathcal{F}(M) has the metric approximation property (MAP), with respect to any norm on RN\mathbb{R}^N. In particular, F(M)\mathcal{F}(M) has the MAP whenever MM is a finite-dimensional compact convex set. This should be compared with a recent result of Godefroy and Ozawa, who showed that there exists a compact convex subset MM of a separable Banach space, for which F(M)\mathcal{F}(M) fails the approximation property.
