Abstract: Let $\mu$ be a finite Borel regular measure on a compact metric space $(X,\rho)$, nontrivial on nonempty open sets. It is shown that whenever the map $\iota_{\rho}: X\to L^p(\mu)$ given by $\iota_{\rho}(x)=\rho(x,\cdot)$ is lower Lipschitz for some $1<p<\infty$, then there is a bi-Lipschitz embedding of $(X,\rho)$ into some $\R^N$.

Keywords: Lipschitz; bilipschitz; bi-Lipschitz; embedding; spherically compact; canonical map; evaluation map.
