On the coarse geometry of James spaces

In this note we prove that the Kalton interlaced graphs do not equi-coarsely embed into the James space $\mathcal J$ nor into its dual $\mathcal J^*$. It is a particular case of a more general result on the non equi-coarse embeddability of the Kalton graphs into quasi-reflexive spaces with a special asymptotic stucture. This allows us to exhibit a coarse invariant for Banach spaces, namely the non equi-coarse embeddability of this family of graphs, which is very close to but different from the celebrated property $\mathcal Q$ of Kalton. We conclude with a remark on the coarse geometry of the James tree space $\mathcal J \mathcal T$ and of its predual.

On exposed points of Lipschitz free spaces

In this note we prove that a molecule $d(x,y)^{-1}(δ(x)-δ(y))$ 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 reduced to $\{x,y\}$. This is based on a recent result due to Aliaga and Pernecká which states that the class of Lipschitz free spaces over closed subsets of M is closed under arbitrary intersections when M has finite diameter.

A partial answer to the Demyanov-Ryabova conjecture

In this work we are interested in the Demyanov--Ryabova conjecture for a finite family of polytopes. The conjecture asserts that after a finite number of iterations (successive dualizations), either a 1-cycle or a 2-cycle eventually comes up. In this work we establish a strong version of this conjecture under the assumption that the initial family contains "enough minimal polytopes" whose extreme points are "well placed".

Extremal structure and Duality of Lipschitz free spaces

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 denting point. We also show in some particular cases that every extreme point is a molecule, and that a molecule is extreme whenever the two points, say $x$ and $y$, which define it satisfy that the metric segment $[x, y]$ only contains $x$ and $y$. The most notable among them is the case when the free space admits an isometric predual with some additional properties. As an application, we get some new consequences about norm-attainment in spaces of vector valued Lipschitz functions.

Lipschitz-free spaces and Schur properties

In this paper we study $\ell_1$-like properties for some Lipschitz-free spaces. The main result states that, under some natural conditions, the Lipschitz-free space over a proper metric space linearly embeds into an $\ell_1$-sum of finite dimensional subspaces of itself. We also give a sufficient condition for a Lipschitz-free space to have the Schur property, the $1$-Schur property and the $1$-strong Schur property respectively. We finish by studying those properties on a new family of examples, namely the Lipschitz-free spaces over metric spaces originating from $p$-Banach spaces, for $p$ in $(0,1)$.

On the structure of spaces of vector-valued Lipschitz functions

We analyse the strong connections between spaces of vector-valued Lipschitz functions and spaces of linear continuous operators. We apply these links to study duality, Schur properties and norm attainment in the former class of spaces as well as in their canonical preduals
