Nonvanishing preservers and compact weighted composition operators between spaces of Lipschitz functions (Q2319059)

Summary: We will give the \(\alpha\)-Lipschitz version of the Banach-Stone type theorems for lattice-valued \(\alpha\)-Lipschitz functions on some metric spaces. In particular, when \(X\) and \(Y\) are bounded metric spaces, if \(T : \operatorname{Lip} \left(X\right) \rightarrow \operatorname{Lip} \left(Y\right)\) is a nonvanishing preserver, then \(T\) is a weighted composition operator \(T f = h \cdot f \circ \varphi\), where \(\varphi : Y \rightarrow X\) is a Lipschitz homeomorphism. We also characterize the compact weighted composition operators between spaces of Lipschitz functions.
