Specifically, we identify a metric property that characterizes the Plichko property witnessed by Dirac measures in the associated Lipschitz-free space. We also show that the Lipschitz-free space of all $\\mathbb{R}$-trees has the Plichko property witnessed by molecules, and define the concept of retractional trees to generalize this result to a bigger class of metric spaces. Finally, we show that no separable subspace of $\\ell_\\infty$ containing $c_0$ is an $r$-Lipschitz retract for $r < 2$, which implies in particular that $\\mathcal{F}(\\ell_\\infty)$ is not $r$-Plichko for $r < 2$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-05-15T11:13:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46B20", "46B08", "46B26" ], "keywords": [ "plichko property", "lipschitz-free banach spaces", "metric space", "study projectional skeletons", "dirac measures" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
