Abstract: For two metric spaces X and Y, say that X {threshold-embeds} into Y if there exist a number K > 0 and a family of Lipschitz maps such that for every x,yinX, [ d_X(x,y) geq au => d_Y(f_{ au}(x),f_{ au}(y)) geq |varphi_{ au}|_{Lip} au/K ] where |fau|Lip denotes the Lipschitz constant of fau. We show that if a metric space X threshold-embeds into a Hilbert space, then X has Markov type 2. As a consequence, planar graph metrics and doubling metrics have Markov type 2, answering questions of Naor, Peres, Schramm, and Sheffield. More generally, if a metric space X threshold-embeds into a p-uniformly smooth Banach space, then X has Markov type p. This suggests some non-linear analogs of Kwapien's theorem. For instance, a subset XsubseteqL1 threshold-embeds into Hilbert space if and only if X has Markov type 2.
