Linear properties of Banach spaces and low distortion embeddings of metric graphs (1603.00741v2)

Abstract: We characterize non-reflexive Banach spaces by a low-distortion (resp. isometric) embeddability of a certain metric graph up to a renorming. Also we study non-linear sufficient conditions for $\ell_1^n$ being $(1+\varepsilon)$-isomorphic to a subspace of a Banach space $X$.
