Lipschitz Algebras

Download or read book Lipschitz Algebras written by Nik Weaver and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1999 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lipschitz algebras Lp(M), for M a complete metric space, are quite analogous to the spaces C(omega) and Linfinity(X), for omega a compact Hausdorff space and X a sigma-finite measure space. Although the Lipschitz algebras have not been studied as thoroughly as these better-known cousins, it is becoming increasingly clear that they play a fundamental role in functional analysis, and are also useful in many applications, especially in the direction of metric geometry. This book gives a comprehensive treatment of (what is currently known about) the beautiful theory of these algebras.
