The Lang-Plaut problem: does every doubling subset of Hilbert space bi-Lipschitz embed in some Euclidean space?
Claims a negative answer: a fixed doubling subset of (doubling constant at most 76800) with no bi-Lipschitz embedding into any ; more generally every infinite-dimensional real Banach space contains a compact set of universally bounded doubling constant with no bi-Lipschitz embedding into any finite-dimensional normed space, and the same metric embeds isometrically in every ,…
