Lipschitz embeddings of metric spaces into c₀

Authors

Abstract: Let

M

be a separable metric space. We say that

f = (f_{n}) : M o c_{0}

is a good-

l a m b d a

-embedding if, whenever

x, y i n M

,

x e y

implies

d (x, y) l e V e r t f (x) - f (y) V e r t

and, for each

n

,

L i p (f_{n}) < l a m b d a

, where

L i p (f_{n})

denotes the Lipschitz constant of

f_{n}

. We prove that there exists a good-

l a m b d a

-embedding from

M

into

c_{0}

if and only if

M

satisfies an internal property called

p i (l a m b d a)

. As a consequence, we obtain that for any separable metric space

M

, there exists a good-

2

-embedding from

M

into

c_{0}

. These statements slightly extend former results obtained by N. Kalton and G. Lancien, with simplified proofs.
