| Title: | Lipschitz free spaces on finite metric spaces |
| Abstract: | Abstract: The main results of the talk:
(1) For any finite metric space $M$ the Lipschitz free space on
$M$ contains a large well-complemented subspace which is close to
$\ell_1^n$.
(2) Lipschitz free spaces on large classes of recursively defined
sequences of graphs are not uniformly isomorphic to $\ell_1^n$ of
the corresponding dimensions. These classes contain well-known
families of diamond graphs and Laakso graphs.
Interesting features of our approach are: (a) We consider averages
over groups of cycle-preserving bijections of graphs which are not
necessarily graph automorphisms; (b) In the case of such recursive
families of graphs as Laakso graphs we use the well-known approach
of Gr\"unbaum (1960) and Rudin (1962) for estimating projection
constants in the case where invariant projections are not unique.

| Title: | Bilipschitz embeddings of Cayley graphs of lamplighter groups |
| Abstract: | We prove that the sequence of Cayley graphs
of finite lamplighter groups $\{\mathbb{Z}_2\wr\mathbb{Z}_n\}_{n\ge 2}$
with a standard set of generators
embeds bilipschitzly with uniformly bounded distortions into
any non-superreflexive Banach space, and that this sequence is a
is a set of test-spaces for
superreflexivity in the sense of Ostrovskii. Our proof is inspired by
the well known identification of Cayley graphs of infinite lamplighter
groups with
the horocyclic product of trees. We cover $\mathbb{Z}_2\wr\mathbb{Z}_n$
by three sets with a structure similar to
a horocyclic product of trees, which enables
us to construct well-controlled embeddings.
Using known results, we also observe that, for any $q$, the Cayley graph
of the
infinite lamplighter group $\mathbb{Z}_q\wr\mathbb{Z}$
with respect to any finite generating set is a test space for
superreflexivity.
