On isometric embeddings into the set of strongly norm-attaining Lipschitz functions (Q6097539)

This nice paper is the third one of a series of three papers dealing with the possibility of the set \(\operatorname{SNA}(M)\) of strongly norm-attaining Lipschitz functionals on a complete pointed metric space \(M\) to contain large linear subspaces. Recall that a Lipschitz function is said to \textit{strongly attain its norm} [\textit{G.~Godefroy}, Commentat. Math. 55, No.~2, 89--118 (2015; Zbl 1358.46015); \textit{V.~Kadets} et al., Banach J. Math. Anal. 10, No.~3, 621--637 (2016; Zbl 1358.46009)] whenever the supremum of slopes defining the Lipschitz norm is actually a maximum. More information on denseness of \(\operatorname{SNA}(M)\) can be found in the already cited papers and in [\textit{B.~Cascales} et al., J. Funct. Anal. 277, No.~6, 1677--1717 (2019; Zbl 1447.46010); \textit{R.~Chiclana} et al., Rev. Mat. Iberoam. 37, No.~5, 1917--1951 (2021; Zbl 1506.46009); \textit{R.~Chiclana}, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 516, No.~1, Article ID 126489, 13~p. (2022; Zbl 1511.26008)], for instance. In the first paper of this series [Rev. R. Acad. Cienc. Exactas Fís. Nat., Ser. A Mat., RACSAM 116, No.~4, Paper No. 162, 12~p. (2022; Zbl 1510.46006)], \textit{V.~Kadets} and \textit{Ó.~Roldán} proved a number of positive results which were complemented by the results of the second paper [\textit{A.~Aviles, G.~Martínez Cervantes, A.~Rueda Zoca}, and \textit{P.~Tradacete}, ``Infinite dimensional spaces in the set of strongly norm-attaining Lipschitz maps'', Rev. Mat. Iberoam. (to appear), \url{doi:10.4171/RMI/1425}, Preprint (2022), \url{arXiv:2204.12529}] where it was shown that \(\operatorname{SNA}(M)\) contains an isomorphic copy of \(c_0\) for every infinite pointed complete metric space \(M\). In the present paper, the authors construct a pointed complete metric space \(M\) such that \(\operatorname{SNA}(M)\) does not contain an isometric copy of \(c_0\), answering an open question from the second paper. On the other hand, they show that \(\operatorname{SNA}(M)\) contains an isometric copy of \(c_0\) if \(M\) is not uniformly discrete. Finally, they also provide some positive results on when an isometric copy of \(c_0(\Gamma)\) can be found in \(\operatorname{SNA}(M)\) for sets \(\Gamma\) of arbitrarily large cardinality.
