Existing concentration bounds for bounded vector-valued random variables include extensions of the scalar Hoeffding and Bernstein inequalities. While the latter is typically tighter, it requires knowing a bound on the variance of the random…

A new hierarchy of Banach spaces $T_k(d,\theta)$, $k$ any positive integer, is constructed using barriers in high dimensional Ellentuck spaces \cite{DobrinenJSL15} following the classical framework under which a Tsirelson type norm is…

Let $(M,d)$ be a bounded countable metric space and $c>0$ a constant, such that $d(x,y)+d(y,z)-d(x,z) \ge c$, for any pairwise distinct points $x,y,z$ of $M$. For such metric spaces we prove that they can be isometrically embedded into any…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a class of Banach spaces and let $T=\{T_\alpha\}_{\alpha\in A}$ be a set of metric spaces. We say that $T$ is a set of {\it test-spaces} for $\mathcal{P}$ if the following two conditions are equivalent: (1)…

We show that if the Szlenk index of a Banach space $X$ is larger than the first infinite ordinal $\omega$ or if the Szlenk index of its dual is larger than $\omega$, then the tree of all finite sequences of integers equipped with the…

We characterise the Banach spaces $X$ which are $L_1$-predual as those for which every Lipschitz compact mapping $f:N\longrightarrow X$ admits, for every $\varepsilon>0$ and every $M$ containing $N$, a Lipschitz (compact) extension…

We prove several dichotomies on linear embeddings between Banach spaces. Given an arbitrary Banach space X with a basis, we show that the relations of isomorphism and bi-embedding are meager or co-meager on the Polish set of block-subspaces…

Given a Boolean algebra $A$, we construct another Boolean algebra $B$ with no uncountable well-ordered chains such that the Banach space of real valued continuous functions $C(K_A)$ embeds isometrically into $C(K_B)$, where $K_A$ and $K_B$…

We construct a hereditarily indecomposable Banach space with dual isomorphic to $\ell_1$. Every bounded linear operator on this space has the form $\lambda I+K$ with $\lambda$ a scalar and $K$ compact.

A Banach space $X$ is Grothendieck if the weak and the weak$^*$ convergence of sequences in the dual space $X^*$ coincide. The space $\ell^\infty$ is a classical example of a Grothendieck space due to Grothendieck. We introduce a…

We investigate the space of bounded linear operators on a Banach space equipped with a norm which is equivalent to the operator norm such that the subspace of compact operators is an M-ideal. In particular, we observe that the space of…

In a previous paper (see arXiv:1003.3411 [math.CA]), we investigated the existence of an element x of a quasi-Banach space X whose errors of best approximation by a given approximation scheme (A_n) (defined by E(x,A_n) = \inf_{a \in A_n}…

A Banach space $X$ is elastic if there is a constant $K$ so that whenever a Banach space $Y$ embeds into $X$, then there is an embedding of $Y$ into $X$ with constant $K$. We prove that $C[0,1]$ embeds into separable infinite dimensional…

It is proved that for any $0<\beta<\alpha$, any bounded Ahlfors $\alpha$-regular space contains a $\beta$-regular compact subset that embeds biLipschitzly in an ultrametric with distortion at most $O(\alpha/(\alpha-\beta))$. The bound on…

In this paper, we study minimality properties of partly modified mixed Tsirelson spaces. A Banach space with a normalized basis (e_k) is said to be subsequentially minimal if for every normalized block basis (x_k) of (e_k), there is a…

A boundary for a Banach space is a subset of the dual unit sphere with the property that each element of the Banach space attains its norm on an element of that subset. Trivially, the pointwise convergence with respect to such a boundary is…

In the first part of the paper we study the structure of Banach spaces with a conditional spreading basis. The geometry of such spaces exhibit a striking resemblance to the geometry of James' space. Further, we show that the averaging…

For every metric space $\mathcal X$ in which there exists a sequence of finite groups of bounded-size generating set that does not embed coarsely, and for every unbounded, increasing function $\rho$, we produce a group of subexponential…

We study the nonlinear embeddability of Banach spaces and the equi-embeddability of the family of Kalton's interlaced graphs $([\mathbb N]^k,d_{\mathbb K})_k$ into dual spaces. Notably, we define and study a modification of Kalton's…

This note shows the existence of a sharp bilinear estimate for the Bourgain-type space and gives its application to the optimal local well/ill-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the Benjamin equation.
