Given a metric space (X, d), we continue our study of the distance function x\mapsto d(x,-) and its relation to bi-Lipschitz embeddings of (X, d) into R^N. As application, given a compact metric-measure space (X, d,\mu), we give three…

Let $T$ be a compact, metrisable and strongly countable-dimensional topological space. Let $\mathcal{M}^T$ be the set of all metrics $d$ on $T$ compatible with its topology, and equip $\mathcal{M}^T$ with the topology of uniform…

We solve the following three questions concerning surjective linear isometries between spaces of Lipschitz functions $\mathrm{Lip}(X,E)$ and $\mathrm{Lip}(Y,F)$, for strictly convex normed spaces $E$ and $F$ and metric spaces $X$ and $Y$:…

For pointed compact metric spaces $(X,d)$, we address the biduality problem as to when the space of Lipschitz functions $\mathrm{Lip}_0(X,d)$ is isometrically isomorphic to the bidual of the space of little Lipschitz functions…

Let $X$ be a pointed compact metric space. Assuming that $\mathrm{lip}_0(X)$ has the uniform separation property, we prove that every weakly compact composition operator on spaces of Lipschitz functions $\mathrm{Lip}_0(X)$ and…

In this note we prove that a molecule $d(x,y)^{-1}(\delta(x)-\delta(y))$ is an exposed point of the unit ball of a Lispchitz free space $\mathcal F(M)$ if and only if the metric segment $[x,y]=\{z \in M \; : \; d(x,y)=d(z,x)+d(z,y) \}$ is…

For a metric space $X$, we study the space $D^{\infty}(X)$ of bounded functions on $X$ whose infinitesimal Lipschitz constant is uniformly bounded. $D^{\infty}(X)$ is compared with the space $\LIP^{\infty}(X)$ of bounded Lipschitz functions…

We study a new bi-Lipschitz invariant \lambda(M) of a metric space M; its finiteness means that Lipschitz functions on an arbitrary subset of M can be linearly extended to functions on M whose Lipschitz constants are enlarged by a factor…

We show that, for a separable and complete metric space $M$, the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal F(M)$ embeds linearly and almost-isometrically into $\ell_1$ if and only if $M$ is a subset of an $\mathbb R$-tree with length measure 0.…

We describe the order type of range sets of compact ultrametrics and show that an ultrametrizable infinite topological space $(X, \tau)$ is compact iff the range sets are order isomorphic for any two ultrametrics compatible with the…

For every space $X$ let $\mathcal K(X)$ be the set of all compact subsets of $X$. Christensen \cite{c:74} proved that if $X, Y$ are separable metrizable spaces and $F\colon\mathcal{K}(X)\to\mathcal{K}(Y)$ is a monotone map such that any…

In this paper, the Lipschitz clustering property of a metric space refers to the existence of Lipschitz retractions between its finite subset spaces. Obstructions to this property can be either topological or geometric features of the…

We study M-separability as well as some other combinatorial versions of separability. In particular, we show that the set-theoretic hypothesis b=d implies that the class of selectively separable spaces is not closed under finite products,…

Prompted by a recent question of G. Hjorth as to whether a bounded Urysohn space is indivisible, that is to say has the property that any partition into finitely many pieces has one piece which contains an isometric copy of the space, we…

A space $X$ is M-separable (selectively separable) (Scheepers, 1999; Bella et al., 2009) if for every sequence $(Y_n)$ of dense subspaces of $X$ there exists a sequence $(F_n)$ such that for each $n$ $F_n$ is a finite subset of $Y_n$ and…

In this note we show that the Lipschitz distance between the classes of metric spaces at finite Gromov-Hausdorff distances from the one-point metric space and the real line with the natural metric, respectively, is positive.

In this paper, we investigate a discrete version of the homotopic distance between two $s$-Lipschitz maps for $s \geq 0$. This distance is defined by specifying a step length $r$ to which some homotopy relation corresponds. In spaces with a…

In this paper, we provide an infinite metric space $M$ such that the set $\mbox{SNA}(M)$ of strongly norm-attaining Lipschitz functions does not contain a subspace which is isometric to $c_0$. This answers a question posed by Antonio…

We prove that a typical Lipschitz mapping between any two Banach spaces is non-differentiable at typical points of any given subset of its domain in the most extreme form. This is a new result even for Lipschitz mappings between Euclidean…

A mapping $f:X\to Y$ between metric spaces is called \emph{little Lipschitz} if the quantity $$ \operatorname{lip}(f(x)=\liminf_{r\to0}\frac{\operatorname{diam} f(B(x,r))}{r} $$ is finite for every $x\in X$. We prove that if a compact (or,…
