For a complete metric space $M$, we prove that the finitely supported extreme points of the unit ball of the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal{F}(M)$ are precisely the elementary molecules $(\delta(p)-\delta(q))/d(p,q)$ defined by pairs of…
We prove that all extreme points of the unit ball of a Lipschitz-free space over a compact metric space have finite support. Combined with previous results, this completely characterizes extreme points and implies that all of them are also…
We analyse the relationship between different extremal notions in Lipschitz free spaces (strongly exposed, exposed, preserved extreme and extreme points). We prove in particular that every preserved extreme point of the unit ball is also a…
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…
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 prove that every element of a Lipschitz-free space admits an expression as a convex series of elements with compact support. As a consequence, we conclude that all extreme points of the unit ball of Lipschitz-free spaces are elementary…
We give a metric characterisation of when the Lipschitz-free space over a separable ultrametric space is a dual Banach space. In the case where the Lipschitz-free space has a predual, we show that this predual is M-embedded if and only if…
Our work explores fusions, the multidimensional counterparts of mean-preserving contractions and their extreme and exposed points. We reveal an elegant geometric/combinatorial structure for these objects. Of particular note is the…
We characterize preserved extreme points of Lipschitz-free spaces $\mathcal{F}(X)$ in terms of simple geometric conditions on the underlying metric space $(X,d)$. Namely, each preserved extreme point corresponds to a pair of points $p,q$ in…
In this paper, we present some sufficient conditions on a metric space $M$ for which every molecule is a strongly subdifferentiable (SSD, for short) point in the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal{F}(M)$ over $M$. Our main result reads as…
We introduce convex integrals of molecules in Lipschitz-free spaces $\mathcal{F}(M)$ as a continuous counterpart of convex series considered elsewhere, based on the de Leeuw representation. Using optimal transport theory, we show that these…
The goal of this paper is to study geometric and extremal properties of the convex body $B_{\mathcal F(M)}$, which is the unit ball of the Lipschitz-free Banach space associated with a finite metric space $M$. We investigate $\ell_1$ and…
In this note, we provide a characterization for the set of extreme points of the Lipschitz unit ball in a specific vectorial setting. While the analysis of the case of real-valued functions is covered extensively in the literature, no…
We analyze the relationship between Borel measures and continuous linear functionals on the space $\mathrm{Lip}_0(M)$ of Lipschitz functions on a complete metric space $M$. In particular, we describe continuous functionals arising from…
In this paper, we investigate the extremal structure of the unit ball in the most general classes of Orlicz--Lorentz spaces. the characterizations of extreme points, strongly extreme points, and exposed points are given for Orlicz--Lorentz…
We solve two main questions on linear structures of (non-)norm-attaining Lipschitz functions. First, we show that for every infinite metric space $M$, the set consisting of Lipschitz functions on $M$ which do not strongly attain their norm…
Given a pointed metric space $M$, we study when there exist $n$-dimensional linear subspaces of $\operatorname{Lip}_0(M)$ consisting of strongly norm-attaining Lipschitz functionals, for $n\in\mathbb{N}$. We show that this is always the…
We give several structural results concerning the Lipschitz-free spaces $\mathcal F(M)$, where $M$ is a metric space. We show that $\mathcal F(M)$ contains a complemented copy of $\ell_1(\Gamma)$, where $\Gamma=\text{dens}(M)$. If $\mathcal…
We prove in particular that the Lipschitz-free space over a finitely-dimensional normed space is complemented in its bidual. For Euclidean spaces the norm of the respective projection is $1$. As a tool to obtain the main result we establish…
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…
