Abstract

Let $\mathrm {Lip}_0(M)$ be the space of Lipschitz functions on a complete metric space M that vanish at a base point. We prove that every normal functional in ${\mathrm {Lip}_0(M)}^*$ is weak* continuous; that is, in order to verify weak* continuity it suffices to do so for bounded monotone nets of Lipschitz functions. This solves a problem posed by N. Weaver. As an auxiliary result, we show that the series decomposition developed by N. J. Kalton for functionals in the predual of $\mathrm {Lip}_0(M)$ can be partially extended to ${\mathrm {Lip}_0(M)}^*$ .
