Known Lipschitz-free spaces
The Lipschitz-Free space (also known as Arens-Eells spaces) $\mathcal{F}(X,d)$ over a pointed metric space $(X,d)$ is a well-studied object. In many instances, we have "concrete" representations of ...

Is the space of Radon measures a Polish space or at least separable?
Background: I work on a SPDE problem where in order to apply Prokhorov's theorem I need that some measure space is Polish space. And additionaly it would be good if that space is Banach space. Earlier ...

$\ell_1$ and $\ell_\infty$ as complementary subspaces of Banach space
Let $X$ be a Banach space, and let $X'\subset X$ - its subspace. Then the following propositions are true:
$X'$ is closed, $X/X' \cong \ell_1 \Rightarrow X'$ is complementary;
$X' \cong \ell_\infty ...
