Dvoretzky-type theorem for locally finite subsets of a Hilbert space

The main result of the paper: Given any $\epsilon >0$, every locally finite subset of ${\mathrm{\ell }}_2$ admits a $(1+\epsilon )$-bilipschitz embedding into an arbitrary infinite-dimensional Banach space. The result is based on two results which are of independent interest: (1) A direct sum of two finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces contains a sub-sum of a controlled dimension which is $\epsilon$-close to a direct sum with respect to a $1$-unconditional basis in a two-dimensional space. (2) For any finite-dimensional Banach space $Y$ and its direct sum $X$ with itself with respect to a $1$-unconditional basis in a two-dimensional space, there exists a $(1+\epsilon )$-bilipschitz embedding of $Y$ into $X$ which on a small ball coincides with the identity map onto the first summand and on a complement of a large ball coincides with the identity map onto the second summand.
