Abstract: For a complete metric space M, we prove that the finitely supported extreme points of the unit ball of the Lipschitz-free space mathcalF(M) are precisely the elementary molecules (delta(p)delta(q))/d(p,q) defined by pairs of points p,q in M such that the triangle inequality d(p,q)<d(p,r)+d(q,r) is strict for any rinM different from p and q. To this end, we show that the class of Lipschitz-free spaces over closed subsets of M is closed under arbitrary intersections when M has finite diameter, and that this allows a natural definition of the support of elements of mathcalF(M).
