Let $M$ be a $C^{2}$-smooth Riemannian surface. A classical theorem in differential geometry states that the Gauss curvature function $K : M \to \mathbb{R}$ vanishes everywhere if and only if the surface is locally isometric to the…

We prove that for every $n\in \mathbb{N}$ there exists a metric space $(X,d_X)$, an $n$-point subset $S\subseteq X$, a Banach space $(Z,\|\cdot\|_Z)$ and a $1$-Lipschitz function $f:S\to Z$ such that the Lipschitz constant of every function…

We introduce the notion of (almost isometric) local retracts in metric space as a natural non-linear version of the concepts of locally complemented and almost isometric ideals from Banach spaces. We prove that given two metric spaces…

For a metric space $(K,d)$ the Banach space $\Lip(K)$ consists of all scalar-valued bounded Lipschitz functions on $K$ with the norm $\|f\|_{L}=\max(\|f\|_{\infty},L(f))$, where $L(f)$ is the Lipschitz constant of $f$. The closed subspace…

We generalize a bi-Lipschitz extension result of David and Semmes from Euclidean spaces to complete metric measure spaces with controlled geometry (Ahlfors regularity and supporting a Poincar\'e inequality). In particular, we find sharp…

The Lipschitz extension modulus $e(M)$ of a metric space $M$ is the infimum over $L\ge 1$ such that for any Banach space $Z$ and any $C\subset M$, any 1-Lipschitz function $f:C\to Z$ can be extended to an $L$-Lipschitz function $F:M\to Z$.…

Motivated by the result of Dantas et. al. (2023) that there exist metric spaces for which the set of strongly norm-attaining Lipschitz functions does not contain an isometric copy of $c_0$, we introduce and study a weaker notion of…

We prove that, given an $RCD^{*}(K,N)$-space $(X,d,m)$, then it is possible to $m$-essentially cover $X$ by measurable subsets $(R_{i})_{i\in \mathbb{N}}$ with the following property: for each $i$ there exists $k_{i} \in \mathbb{N}\cap…

We describe surjective linear isometries and linear isometry groups of a large class of Lipschitz-free spaces that includes e.g. Lipschitz-free spaces over any graph. We define the notion of a Lipschitz-free rigid metric space whose…

We prove that the Lipschitz-free space over a countable proper metric space is isometric to a dual space and has the metric approximation property. We also show that the Lipschitz-free space over a proper ultrametric space is isometric to…

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…

Let us consider a Riemannian manifold $M$ (either separable or non-separable). We prove that, for every $\epsilon>0$, every Lipschitz function $f:M\rightarrow\mathbb R$ can be uniformly approximated by a Lipschitz, $C^1$-smooth function $g$…

We characterise purely $n$-unrectifiable subsets $S$ of a complete metric space $X$ with finite Hausdorff $n$-measure by studying arbitrarily small perturbations of elements of the set of all bounded 1-Lipschitz functions $f\colon X \to…

We prove that in a Euclidean space of dimension at least two, there exists a compact set of Lebesgue measure zero such that any real-valued Lipschitz function defined on the space is differentiable at some point in the set. Such a set is…

The \emph{flat deformation theorem} states that given a semi-Riemannian analytic metric $g$ on a manifold, locally there always exists a two-form $F$, a scalar function $c$, and an arbitrarily prescribed scalar constraint depending on the…

A classical result of Cembranos and Freniche states that the C(K, X) spaces contains a complemented copy of c_0 whenever K is an infinite compact Hausdorff space and X is an infinite dimensional Banach space. This paper takes this result as…

We prove that for all integers $2\leq m\leq d-1$, there exists doubling measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with full support that are $m$-rectifiable and purely $(m-1)$-unrectifiable in the sense of Federer (i.e. without assuming…

This work proves certain general orbifold compactness results for spaces of Riemannian metrics, generalizing earlier results along these lines for Einstein metrics or metrics with bounded Ricci curvature. This is then applied to prove such…

The Kantorovich-Rubinshtein metric is an $L^1$-like metric on spaces of probability distributions that enjoys several serendipitous properties. It is complete separable if the underlying metric space of points is complete separable, and in…

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 $Y$:…
