Generalized differentiation and bi-Lipschitz nonembedding in L1

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We consider Lipschitz mappings, f : X → V, where X is a doubling metric measure space which satisfies a Poincaré inequality, and V is a Banach space. We show that earlier differentiability and bi-Lipschitz nonembedding results for maps, f : X → RN, remain valid when RN is replaced by any separable dual space. We exhibit spaces which bi-Lipschitz embed in L1, but not in any separable dual V. For certain domains, including the Heisenberg group with its Carnot-Caratheodory metric, we establish a new notion of differentiability for maps into L1. This implies that the Heisenberg group does not bi-Lipschitz embed in L1, thereby proving a conjecture of J. Lee and A. Naor. When combined with their work, this has implications for theoretical computer science. To cite this article: J. Cheeger, B. Kleiner, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 343 (2006).
