Abstract:
We give a construction of the Gurarij space analogous to Katětov’s construction of the Urysohn space. The adaptation of Katětov’s technique uses a generalisation of the Arens-Eells enveloping space to metric space with a distinguished normed subspace. This allows us to give a positive answer to a question of Uspenskij as to whether the linear isometry group of the Gurarij space is a universal Polish group.References
