Abstract

Given pointed metric spaces X and Y, we characterize the basepoint-preserving Lipschitz maps \(\phi \) from Y to X inducing an isometric composition operator \(C_\phi \) between the Lipschitz spaces \(\mathrm {Lip}_0(X)\) and \(\mathrm {Lip}_0(Y)\), whenever X enjoys the peak property. This gives an answer to a question posed by Weaver in his book [Lipschitz algebras. Second edition. World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd., Hackensack, NJ, 2018].
