We show that Sobolev maps with values in a dual Banach space can be characterized in terms of weak derivatives in a weak* sense. Since every metric space embeds isometrically into a dual Banach space, this implies a characterization of…

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 combine Kirchheim's metric differentials with Cheeger charts in order to establish a non-embeddability principle for any collection $\mathcal C$ of Banach (or metric) spaces: if a metric measure space $X$ bi-Lipschitz embeds in some…

We show that no matter what subset of a normed space is given, a typical 1-Lipschitz mapping into a Banach space is non-differentiable at a typical point of the set in a very strong sense: the derivative ratio approximates, on arbitrary…

In this work we provide a characterization of distinct type of (linear and non-linear) maps between Banach spaces in terms of the differentiability of certain class of Lipschitz functions. Our results are stated in an abstract bornological…

We give a characterization of metric space valued Sobolev maps in terms of weak* derivatives. This corrects a previous result by Haj{\l}asz and Tyson.

Let (X, d) be a quasi-convex, complete and separable metric space with reference probability measure m. We prove that the set of of real valued Lipschitz function with non zero point-wise Lipschitz constant m-almost everywhere is residual,…

This paper deals with the problem of when, given a collection $\mathcal C$ of weakly compact operators between separable Banach spaces, there exists a separable reflexive Banach space $Z$ with a Schauder basis so that every element in…

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…

Motivated by noncommutative geometry and quantum physics, the concept of `metric operator field' is introduced. Roughly speaking, a metric operator field is a vector field on a set with values in self tensor product of a bundle of…

We compare several notion of weak (modulus of) gradient in metric measure spaces. Using tools from optimal transportation theory we prove density in energy of Lipschitz maps independenly of doubling and Poincar\'e assumptions on the metric…

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…

We study long chains of iterated weak* derived sets, that is sets of all weak* limits of bounded nets, of subspaces with the additional property that the penultimate weak* derived set is a proper norm dense subspace of the dual. We extend…

We prove that if a unital Banach algebra $A$ is the dual of a Banach space $\pd{A}$, then the set of weak* continuous states is weak* dense in the set of all states on $A$. Further, weak* continuous states linearly span $\pd{A}$.

The main results of the paper: {\bf (1)} The dual Banach space $X^*$ contains a linear subspace $A\subset X^*$ such that the set $A^{(1)}$ of all limits of weak$^*$ convergent bounded nets in $A$ is a proper norm-dense subset of $X^*$ if…

We introduce the notion of weak-2-local derivation (respectively, $^*$-derivation) on a C$^*$-algebra $A$ as a (non-necessarily linear) map $\Delta : A\to A$ satisfying that for every $a,b\in A$ and $\phi\in A^*$ there exists a derivation…

We prove the equivalence of two seemingly very different ways of generalising Rademacher's theorem to metric measure spaces. One such generalisation is based upon the notion of forming partial derivatives along a very rich structure of…

We give the following characterization of rectifiable metric spaces. A metric space with positive lower Hausdorff density is rectifiable if and only if, for any subset $F$ and $f:F\to Y$, a Lipschitz map into a metric space with positive…

Let $\operatorname{Lip}_0(M)$ be the space of Lipschitz functions on a complete metric space $M$ that vanish at a base point. We show that every normal functional in $\operatorname{Lip}_0(M)^\ast$ is weak$^*$ continuous, answering a…

We construct a Lipschitz-free space that is locally almost square but not weakly almost square; this is the first example of such a Banach space. We also prove a result, which indicates that geodesic metric spaces are a potential metric…
