We prove that for any separable Banach space $X$, there exists a compact metric space which is homeomorphic to the Cantor space and whose Lipschitz-free space contains a complemented subspace isomorphic to $X$. As a consequence we give an…

We prove a general principle satisfied by weakly precompact sets of Lipschitz-free spaces. By this principle, certain infinite dimensional phenomena in Lipschitz-free spaces over general metric spaces may be reduced to the same phenomena in…

We show that the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal{F}(X)$ over a superreflexive Banach space $X$ has the property that every weakly precompact subset of $\mathcal{F}(X)$ is relatively super weakly compact, showing that this space "behaves like…

An important consequence of the Hahn-Banach Theorem says that on any locally convex Hausdorff topological space $X$, there are sufficiently many continuous linear functionals to separate points of $X$. In the paper, we establish a `local'…

Is shown that any separable superreflexive Banach space X may be isometrically embedded in a separable superreflexive Banach space Z=Z(X) (which, in addition, is of the same type and cotype as X) such that its conjugate admits a continuous…

We show that, given a Banach space $X$, the Lipschitz-free space over $X$, denoted by $\mathcal{F}(X)$, is isomorphic to $(\sum_{n=1}^\infty \mathcal{F}(X))_{\ell_1}$. Some applications are presented, including a non-linear version of…

This article contains two rigidity type results for $\mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{Z})$ for large $n$ that share the same proof. Firstly, we prove that for every $p \in [1,\infty]$ different from $2$, the noncommutative $L^p$-space associated with…

Let x(t) be a non-constant T-periodic solution to the ordinary differential equation x'= f(x) in a Banach space X where f is assumed to be Lipschitz continuous with constant L. Then there exists a constant c such that T L >= c, with c only…

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…

We show that any non-zero Banach space with a separable dual contains a totally disconnected, closed and bounded subset S of Hausdorff dimension 1 such that every Lipschitz function on the space is Fr\'echet differentiable somewhere in S.

We prove that for every function $f:X\to Y$, where $X$ is a separable Banach space and $Y$ is a Banach space with RNP, there exists a set $A\in\tilde\mcA$ such that $f$ is Gateaux differentiable at all $x\in S(f)\setminus A$, where $S(f)$…

We answer a question of Aharoni by showing that every separable metric space can be Lipschitz 2-embedded into $c_0$ and this result is sharp; this improves earlier estimates of Aharoni, Assouad and Pelant. We use our methods to examine the…

It is shown that if $C$ is a nonempty convex and weakly compact subset of a Banach space $X$ with $M(X)>1$ and $T:C\rightarrow C$ satisfies condition $(C)$ or is continuous and satisfies condition $(C_{\lambda})$ for some $\lambda \in…

Let X and Y be two infinite-dimensional Banach spaces. If X is crudely finitely representable in every finite-codimensional subspace of Y, then any proper subset of X almost bi-Lipschitz embeds into Y, in a sense quite close to that of F.…

We present some new results on the symmetric Kottman's constant $K^s(X)$ of a Banach space $X$ and its relationship with the Kottman constant. We show that $K^s(X)>1$, for every infinite-dimensional Banach space, thereby solving a problem…

We find conditions for a smooth nonlinear map $f:U\rightarrow V$ between open subsets of Hilbert or Banach spaces to be locally convex in the sense that for some $c$ and each positive $\varepsilon<c$ the image $% f(B_\varepsilon(x))$ of…

We prove that $L_2(\mathbb{R})$ contains a Schauder basis of non-negative functions. Similarly, $L_p(\mathbb{R})$ contains a Schauder basic sequence of non-negative functions such that $L_p(\mathbb{R})$ embeds into the closed span of the…

In the present note we give two explicit constructions (based on a retractional argument) of a Schauder basis for the Lipschitz free space $\mathcal{F}(N)$, over certain uniformly discrete metric spaces $N$. The first one applies to every…

We prove that every continuous function on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space X can be uniformly approximated by smooth functions with no critical points. This kind of result can be regarded as a sort of very strong approximate…

We construct a differentiable locally Lipschitz function $f$ in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ with the property that for every convex body $K\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ there exists $\bar x \in \mathbb{R}^N$ such that $K$ coincides with the set $\partial_L…
