We study the metric spaces with and without this property. Quite surprisingly, metric spaces without this property cannot embed isometrically into $\\ell_1$ and similar Banach spaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-12-12T17:45:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "metric space", "octahedrality", "characterisation", "similar banach spaces", "lipschitz-free space norm" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
