“…In this paper, we continue our investigation of Lipschitz maps of metric spaces into Banach spaces [CK06,CK08a,CK08b], which is motivated by the role of bi-Lipschitz embedding problems in theoretical computer science [LLR95,AR98,Lin02,LN06], earlier developments in the infinitesimal geometry of metric measure spaces [Pan89,Che99], and the geometry of Banach spaces [BL00, Chapters 6-7], [Bou85]. Our main purpose here is to present the details of an approach to Lipschitz maps into L 1 announced in [CK06, Section 1.8], which gives new insight into both embeddability and non-embeddability questions; as a first application, we give a new proof of a (slightly stronger version of) the main result of [CK06].…”
