Tilings of the Hyperbolic Space and Lipschitz Functions

Abstract

We use a special tiling for the hyperbolic $d$-space $\mathbb{H}^d$ for $d=2,3,4$ to construct an (almost) explicit isomorphism between the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal{F}(\mathbb{H}^d)$ and $\mathcal{F}(P)\oplus\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{N})$ where $P$ is a polytope in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $\mathcal{N}$ a net in $\mathbb{H}^d$ coming from the tiling. This implies that the spaces $\mathcal{F}(\mathbb{H}^d)$ and $\mathcal{F}(\mathbb{R}^{d})\oplus \mathcal{F}(\mathcal{M})$ are isomorphic for every net $\mathcal{M}$ in $\mathbb{H}^d$. In particular, we obtain that, for $d=2,3,4$, $\mathcal{F}(\mathbb{H}^d)$ has a Schauder basis. Moreover, using a similar method, we also give an explicit isomorphism between $\mathrm{Lip}(\mathbb{H}^{d})$ and $\mathrm{Lip}(\mathbb{R}^d)$.
