Lipschitz-free spaces over compact subsets of superreflexive spaces are weakly sequentially complete

Abstract

Let $M$ be a compact subset of a superreflexive Banach space. We prove that the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal{F}(M)$, the predual of the Banach space of Lipschitz functions on $M$, has the Pe{\l}czy\'nski's property ($V^\ast$). As a consequence, the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal{F}(M)$ is weakly sequentially complete.
