The numerical index of $2$-dimensional Lipschitz-free spaces

Functional Analysis 2023-04-27 v1

Abstract

We provide the explicit formula for the numerical index of any 22-dimensional Lipschitz-free space, also giving the construction of operators attaining this value as its numerical radius. As a consequence, the numerical index of 22-dimensional Lipschitz-free spaces can take any value of the interval [12,1][\frac{1}{2},1], and this whole range of numerical indices can be attained by taking 22-dimensional subspaces of any Lipschitz-free space of the form F(A)\mathcal{F}(A), where ARnA\subset {\mathbb{R}}^n with n2n\geq 2 is any set with non-empty interior.
