The Lipschitz isomorphism problem for separable Banach spaces

Theorem 1.1: there are separable real Banach spaces X,YX,Y and a bijection Ψ:X→Y\Psi:X\to Y with 421∥s−t∥≤∥Ψ(s)−Ψ(t)∥≤7625∥s−t∥\frac{4}{21}\|s-t\|\le\|\Psi(s)-\Psi(t)\|\le\frac{76}{25}\|s-t\|, where XX contains a linearly isometric copy of c0(ℓ2)c_0(\ell_2) and YY contains no subspace isomorphic to c0(ℓ2)c_0(\ell_2), so XX and YY are not linearly isomorphic. The construction uses a near-isometric bi-Lipschitz change of variables between Hilbert spaces with a local orthogonality property, Lipschitz-free spaces, and a triangular graph-space construction. Real scalars only; it asserts no reflexive or complex analogue and does not say YY lacks ordinary c0c_0. The companion on c0c_0 absorption gives a second, independent counterexample and is a separate entry.
