It is shown in this note that one can decide whether an $n$-dimensional subspace of $\ell_\infty^N$ is isometrically isomorphic to $\ell_\infty^n$ by testing a finite number of determinental inequalities. As a byproduct, an elementary proof…

The metric dimension reduction modulus $k^\alpha_n(\ell_\infty)$ is the smallest $k$ such that every $n$--point metric space can be embedded into some $k$-dimensional normed space, with bi--Lipschitz distortion at most $\alpha$. Determining…

For fixed $k$ we prove exponential lower bounds on the equilateral number of subspaces of $\ell_{\infty}^n$ of codimension $k$. In particular, we show that if the unit ball of a normed space of dimension $n$ is a centrally symmetric…

The diametral dimension, $\Delta(E)$, and the approximate diametral dimension, $\delta(E)$ of an element $E$ of a large class of nuclear Fr\'echet spaces are set theoretically between the corresponding invariant of power series spaces…

We investigate different possiblities of subspaces of the space $\ell_{\infty}$ in terms of whether the subspaces are polyhedral or not. We further study finite-dimensional subspaces of $\ell_{\infty}$ which are of the form $\ell_\infty^n$…

We give an explicit (in particular, deterministic polynomial time) construction of subspaces X of R^N of dimension (1-o(1))N such that for every element x in X, |x|_1 and N^{1/2} |x|_2 are equivalent up to a factor of (log N)^{log log log…

We show that for every large enough integer $N$, there exists an $N$-point subset of $L_1$ such that for every $D>1$, embedding it into $\ell_1^d$ with distortion $D$ requires dimension $d$ at least $N^{\Omega(1/D^2)}$, and that for every…

A major open problem in the field of metric embedding is the existence of dimension reduction for $n$-point subsets of Euclidean space, such that both distortion and dimension depend only on the {\em doubling constant} of the pointset, and…

There is a constant c > 0 such that for every $\epsilon \in (0,1)$ and $n \geq 1/\epsilon^2$, the following holds. Any mapping from the $n$-point star metric into $\ell_1^d$ with bi-Lipschitz distortion $1+\epsilon$ requires dimension $$d…

We show that if the Banach-Mazur distance between an n-dimensional normed space X and ell infinity is at most 3/2, then there exist n+1 equidistant points in X. By a well-known result of Alon and Milman, this implies that an arbitrary…

We prove that Schlumprecht space $S$ is isomorphic to $(\sum_{k=1}^\infty \oplus \ell_infty ^{n_k})_S $ for any sequence of integers $(n_k)$. We also show that every complemented subspace of $S$ which has some subsymmetric basis, is…

For $n \geq 225$ we show that every integer of the form $n + 2m$ such that $0 \leq 2m \leq n^{2} - \frac{9}{2} n \sqrt{n}$ is the dimension of a connected semi-simple subalgebra of $\mathrm{M}_{n}(k)$, that is, a subalgebra isomorphic to a…

We prove a weak version of the $\varepsilon$-Dvoretzky conjecture for normed spaces, showing the existence of a subspace of $\mathbb{R}^n$ of dimension at least $c \log n / |\log \varepsilon|$ in which the given norm is $\varepsilon$-close…

We show that the dual of every infinite-dimensional Lipschitz-free Banach space contains an isometric copy of $\ell_\infty$ and that it is often the case that a Lipschitz-free Banach space contains a $1$-complemented subspace isometric to…

We prove that a WLD subspace of the space $\ell_\infty^c(\Gamma)$ consisting of all bounded, countably supported functions on a set $\Gamma$ embeds isomorphically into $\ell_\infty$ if and only if it does not contain isometric copies of…

We make four contributions to the theory of optimal subspace packings and equi-isoclinic subspaces: (1) a new lower bound for block coherence, (2) an exact count of equi-isoclinic subspaces of even dimension $r$ in $\mathbb{R}^{2r+1}$ with…

We study finite subsets of $\ell_2$, and more generally any metric space, and consider whether these isometrically embed into a Banach space. Our results partially answer a question of Ostrovskii, on whether every infinite-dimensional…

It has been known since 1970's that the N-dimensional $\ell_1$-space contains nearly Euclidean subspaces whose dimension is $\Omega(N)$. However, proofs of existence of such subspaces were probabilistic, hence non-constructive, which made…

It is well known that R^N has subspaces of dimension proportional to N on which the \ell_1 norm is equivalent to the \ell_2 norm; however, no explicit constructions are known. Extending earlier work by Artstein--Avidan and Milman, we prove…

Main results: (a) If a metric space contains $2n$ elements, the transportation cost space on it contains a $1$-complemented isometric copy of $\ell_1^n$. (b) An example of a finite metric space whose transportation cost space contains an…
