On the differentiability of lipschitz maps from metric measure spaces to banach spaces

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

We consider metric measure spaces satisfing a doubling condition and a Poincaré inequality in the upper gradient sense. We show that the results of [Che99] on differentiability of real valued Lipschitz functions and the resulting bi-Lipschitz nonembedding theorems for finite dimensional vector space targets extend to Banach space targets having what we term a good finite dimensional approximation. This class of targets includes separable dual spaces. We also observe that there is a straightforward extension of Pansu’s differentiation theory for Lipschitz maps between Carnot groups, [Pan89], to the most general possible class of Banach space targets, those with the Radon-Nikodym property.
