The local diameter two property and the diameter two property in spaces of Lipschitz functions

TL;DR
This work disentangles the local and global diameter-two properties and their weak*-counterparts within spaces of Lipschitz functions. By developing a dual representation of Lip$_0(M)^*$ via a de Leeuw-type construction and introducing a generalized $\gamma$-cyclic monotonicity, it provides precise dual and CM-based criteria for LD$2$P, D$2$P, SD$2$P, and their $w^*$-variants. The authors furnish metric characterizations such as Lip-LTP and 2-Lip-LTP that determine when Lip$_0(M)$ has the $w^*$-D$2$P or the $w^*$-LD$2$P, and prove that these properties are distinct by constructing a metric space $M$ for which Lip$_0(M)$ has LD$2$P but not $w^*$-D$2$P. The results sharpen the understanding of octahedrality-like properties in Lip$_0(M)$ and supply tools that may be of independent interest for studying dual representations and diameter-two phenomena in Lipschitz-function spaces.
Abstract
We separate the local diameter two property from the diameter two property and their weak-star counterparts from each other in spaces of Lipschitz functions. We characterise the $w^*$-LD$2$P, the $w^*$-D$2$P, the LD$2$P, and the SD$2$P in these spaces. We introduce a generalised version of cyclical monotonicity to study functionals on spaces of Lipschitz functions.
