We give sufficient conditions on a Banach space $X$ which ensure that $\ell_{\infty}$ embeds in $\mathcal{L}(X)$, the space of all operators on $X$. We say that a basic sequence $(e_n)$ is quasisubsymmetric if for any two increasing…

We prove that, unless assuming additional set theoretical axioms, there are no reflexive space without unconditional sequences of density the continuum. We give for every integer $n$ there are normalized weakly-null sequences of length…

An ordered Banach space $X$ is said to have the Levi property or to be regular if every increasing order bounded net (equivalently, sequence) is norm convergent. We prove four theorems related to this classical concept: (i) The Levi…

In [8] probabilistic methods, in particular a variant of the Weak Law of Large Numbers related to the Bernoulli distribution, have been used to show that for every infinite compact spaces K and L there exists a sequence $(\mu_n)$ of…

Notions of weak and uniformly weak mixing (to zero) are defined for bounded sequences in arbitrary Banach spaces. Uniformly weak mixing for vector sequences is characterized by mean ergodic convergence properties. For bounded sequences,…

Let $1\leq p < \infty$ and $1\leq r \leq p^\ast$, where $p^\ast$ is the conjugate index of $p$. We prove an omnibus theorem, which provides numerous equivalences for a sequence $(x_n)$ in a Banach space $X$ to be a $(p,r)$-null sequence.…

It is shown that a separable Banach space $X$ can be given an equivalent norm $|\!|\!|\cdot |\!|\!|$ with the following properties:\quad If $(x_n)\subseteq X$ is relatively weakly compact and $\lim_{m\to\infty} \lim_{n\to\infty}\break…

A sequence $\{f_n\}$ of strongly-measurable functions taking values in a Banach space $\X$ is scalarly null a\.e\. (resp. scalarly null in measure) if $x^*f_n \rightarrow0$ a\.e\. (resp. $x^*f_n \rightarrow 0$ in measure) for every $x^*\in…

We introduce an ordinal index which measures the complexity of a weakly null sequence, and show that a construction due to J. Schreier can be iterated to produce for each alpha < omega_1, a weakly null sequence (x^{alpha}_n)_n in…

Our main result is the following: {\it Let $E$ be a Banach space and $D$ be a weakly compact subset of $E$ with $0\notin D$. If $A$ is a bounded subset of $E$ such that every $x^*\in E^*$ with $x^*(D) >0$ attains its supremum on $A$, then…

In this paper the weak topology on a normed space is studied from the viewpoint of infinite-dimensional topology. Besides the weak topology on a normed space $X$ (coinciding with the topology of uniform convergence on finite subsets of the…

J. Elton proved that every normalized weakly null sequence in a Banach space admits a subsequence that is nearly unconditional which is a weak form of unconditionality. The notion of near-unconditionality is quantified by a constant…

Let $(x_n)$ be a sequence in a Banach space $X$ which does not converge in norm, and let $E$ be an isomorphically precisely norming set for $X$ such that \[ \sum_n |x^*(x_{n+1}-x_n)|< \infty, \; \forall x^* \in E. \qquad (*) \] Then there…

We give elementary proofs of the theorems mentioned in the title. Our methods rely on a simple version of Ramsey theory and a martingale difference lemma. They also provide quantitative results: if a Banach space contains $\ell^{1}$ only…

Let $X$ be a Banach space and $Y \subseteq X$ be a closed subspace. We prove that if the quotient $X/Y$ is weakly Lindel\"{o}f determined or weak Asplund, then for every $w^*$-convergent sequence $(y_n^*)_{n\in \mathbb N}$ in $Y^*$ there…

A Banach space $X$ is said to have property (K) if every $w^*$-convergent sequence in $X^*$ admits a convex block subsequence which converges with respect to the Mackey topology. We study the connection of this property with strongly weakly…

We give an extension of a criterion of van der Corput on uniform distribution of sequences. Namely, we prove that a sequence $x_n$ is uniformly distributed modulo 1 if it is weakly monotonic and satisfies the conditions $\Delta^2x_n\to…

It is shown that if a Banach space X has the weak Banach-Saks property and the weak fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings and Y satisfies property asymptotic (P) (which is weaker than the condition WCS(Y)>1), then the direct sum of…

In the study of asymptotic geometry in Banach spaces, a basic sequence which gives rise to a spreading model has been called a good sequence. It is well known that every normalized basic sequence in a Banach space has a subsequence which is…
