Lipschitz-free spaces and the isomorphism class of PeÅczyÅski's universal basis space
Richard J. Smith
We show that the class of complete separable metric spaces whose Lipschitz-free space is isomorphic to PeÅczyÅski's universal basis space is -complete…

Lipschitz-free spaces and Bossard's reduction argument
Richard J. Smith
We set up a descriptive set-theoretic framework to study Lipschitz-free spaces and use the reduction argument of Bossard to prove several results. We prove two universality results…

Gruenhage spaces and their influence on Banach space renorming theory
Richard J. Smith
In a paper from 1987, Gruenhage defined a class of topological spaces that now bear his name, and used it to solve a problem of Talagrand on the existence of dense metrizabl…
