Abstract

Given a compact pointed metric space X and a weight v on the complement of the diagonal set in \(X\times X\), we prove that the Banach space \(\mathrm {lip}_v(X)\) of all weighted little Lipschitz scalar-valued functions on X vanishing at the basepoint, equipped with the weighted Lipschitz norm, embeds almost isometrically into \(c_0\). This result has many consequences on the structure of those Banach spaces and their duals. Moreover, we prove that this isomorphism can never be an isometric embedding whenever X is a \(\mathbb {T}\)-balanced subset containing 0 and compact for some metrizable topology of a complex Banach space and v is a radial 0-weight.
