A well-known class of questions asks the following: If $X$ and $Y$ are metric measure spaces and $f:X\rightarrow Y$ is a Lipschitz mapping whose image has positive measure, then must $f$ have large pieces on which it is bi-Lipschitz?…

Let $X$ be a metric space with a base point $0$, and let $\mathrm{Lip}_0(X)$ be the Banach space of all Lipschitz functions $f:X\longrightarrow \mathbb R$ such that $f(0)=0$. Given a set of points $\left((x_i,y_i)\right)_{i\in I}$ in $X^2$…

It is shown that if a compact metric space $(X, d)$ is bi-H\"older equivalent to an ultrametric space, then the logarithmic ratio $R(X,d)$ is finite. Conversely, if the logarithmic ratio $R(X,d)$ is finite and ${\A}^*_p (X) \ne \emptyset$…

Let $M$ be a subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$. If $M$ is not porous, in particular if it has positive $n$-dimensional Lebesgue measure, we prove that the Lipschitz spaces $\mathrm{Lip}_0(M)$ and $\mathrm{Lip}_0(\mathbb{R}^n)$ are linearly…

We continue with the study of octahedral norms in the context of spaces of Lipschitz functions and in their duals. First, we prove that the norm of $\mathcal F(M)^{**}$ is octahedral as soon as $M$ is unbounded or is not uniformly discrete.…

For a compact metric space $(K, \rho)$, the predual of $Lip(K, \rho)$ can be identified with the normed space $M(K)$ of finite (signed) Borel measures on $K$ equipped with the Kantorovich-Rubinstein norm, this is due to Kantorovich [20].…

We prove that for a given Banach space $X$, the subset of norm attaining Lipschitz functionals in $\mathrm{Lip}_0(X)$ is weakly dense but not strongly dense. Then we introduce a weaker concept of directional norm attainment and demonstrate…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space and $\mathcal M_X$ be the set of isometry classes of compact metric spaces $Y$ such that the Lipschitz distance $d_L(X,Y)$ is finite. We show that $(\mathcal M_X, d_L)$ is not separable when $X$ is a closed…

Motivated by classical results of Lindenstrauss and recent developments by Karn and Mandal, we investigate quotient spaces of the form $Lip_0(X)/\mathcal{A}$, where $\mathcal{A}$ is a finite-dimensional subspace, showing that these…

We construct a smooth compact n-dimensional manifold Y with one point singularity such that all its Lipschitz homotopy groups are trivial, but Lipschitz mappings Lip(S^n,Y) are not dense in the Sobolev space W^{1,n}(S^n,Y). On the other…

For any $p\in[1,\infty)$, we prove that the set of simple functions taking at most $k$ different values is proximinal in B\"ochner spaces $L^p(X)$ whenever $X$ is a dual Banach space with $w^*$-sequentially compact unit ball. With…

We study functions on topometric spaces which are both (metrically) Lipschitz and (topologically) continuous, using them in contexts where, in classical topology, ordinary continuous functions are used. We study the relations of such…

The set $dd(X)$ of densities of all dense subspaces of a topological space $X$ is called the double density spectrum of $X$. In this note we present a couple of results that imply $\lambda \in dd(X)$, provided that $X$ is a compact space…

We establish a new characterization of the homogeneous Besov spaces $\dot{\mathcal B}^{s}_{p,q}(Z)$ with smoothness $s \in (0,1)$ in the setting of doubling metric measure spaces $(Z,d,\mu)$. The characterization is given in terms of a…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be complex Banach spaces with $B_X$ denoting the open unit ball of $X.$ This paper studies various aspects of the {\em holomorphic Lipschitz space} $\mathcal HL_0(B_X,Y)$, endowed with the Lipschitz norm. This space is the…

We show that for every complete metric space $M$ there exists another complete metric space $N$ of the same density character such that the curve-flat quotient of $N$ is isometric to $M$. Moreover, we show that if $M$ is compact and…

We introduce a new distance, a Lipschitz-Prokhorov distance $d_{LP}$, on the set $\mathcal {PM}$ of isomorphism classes of pairs $(X, P)$ where $X$ is a compact metric space and $P$ is the law of a continuous stochastic process on $X$. We…

The main aim of the paper is to give a full classification (up to isometry) of all metric spaces X with the following two properties: X contains a compact set with non-empty interior; and for any three distinct points a, b and c of X there…

We conjecture that whenever $M$ is a metric space of density at most continuum, then the space of Lipschitz functions is $w^*$-separable. We prove the conjecture for several classes of metric spaces including all the Banach spaces with a…

On metric spaces equipped with doubling measures, we prove that a differentiability theorem holds for Lipschitz functions if and only if the space supports nontrivial (metric) derivations in the sense of Weaver that satisfy an additional…
