### Central and $L^{p}$-concentration of 1-Lipschitz maps into $\mbi{R}$-trees

Kei FUNANO

#### Abstract

In this paper, we study the Lévy-Milman concentration phenomenon of 1-Lipschitz maps from mm-spaces to $\mbi{R}$-trees. Our main theorems assert that the concentration to $\mbi{R}$-trees is equivalent to the concentration to the real line.
