Abstract

The present paper deals with some structural properties of transportation cost spaces, also known as Arens-Eells spaces, Lipschitz-free spaces and Wasserstein spaces. The main results of this work are: (1) A necessary and sufficient condition on an infinite metric space M, under which the transportation cost space on M contains an isometric copy of ℓ1.The obtained condition is applied to answer the open questions asked by Cúth and Johanis (2017) concerning several specific metric spaces. (2) The description of the transportation cost space of a weighted finite graph G as the quotient ℓ1(E(G))/Z(G), where E(G) is the edge set and Z(G) is the cycle space of G.
