Approximation properties in Lipschitz-free spaces over groups

We study Lipschitz-free spaces over compact and uniformly discrete metric spaces enjoying certain high regularity properties - having group structure with left-invariant metric. Using methods of harmonic analysis we show that, given a compact metrizable group $G$ equipped with an arbitrary compatible left-invariant metric $d$, the Lipschitz-free space over $G$, $\mathcal{F}(G,d)$, satisfies the metric approximation property. We show also that, given a finitely generated group $G$, with its word metric $d$, from a class of groups admitting a certain special type of combing, which includes all hyperbolic groups and Artin groups of large type, $\mathcal{F}(G,d)$ has a Schauder basis. Examples and applications are discussed. In particular, for any net $N$ in a real hyperbolic $n$-space $\mathbb{H}^n$, $\mathcal{F}(N)$ has a Schauder basis.
