Isomorphisms between spaces of Lipschitz functions

Abstract

We develop tools for proving isomorphisms of normed spaces of Lipschitz functions over various doubling metric spaces and Banach spaces. In particular, we show that ${\mathrm{Lip}}_0({\mathbb{Z}}^d)\simeq {\mathrm{Lip}}_0({\mathbb{R}}^d)$, for all $d\in \mathbb{N}$. More generally, we e.g. show that ${\mathrm{Lip}}_0(\Gamma )\simeq {\mathrm{Lip}}_0(G)$, where $\Gamma$ is from a large class of finitely generated nilpotent groups and $G$ is its Mal'cev closure; or that ${\mathrm{Lip}}_0({\ell }_p)\simeq {\mathrm{Lip}}_0(L_p)$, for all $1\le p<\infty$. We leave a large area for further possible research.
