We show that the problem whether every $1$-separably injective Banach space contains an isomorphic copy of $\ell_\infty$ is undecidable. Namely, unlike under the continuum hypothesis, assuming Martin's axiom and the negation of the…

We continue the investigation of notions of approximate amenability that were introduced in work of the second and third authors. It is shown that every boundedly approximately contractible Banach algebra has a bounded approximate identity.…

\begin{abstract} Suppose $p$ is a computable real so that $p \geq 1$. It is shown that the halting set can compute a surjective linear isometry between any two computable copies of $\ell^p$. It is also shown that this result is optimal in…

We improve the known results about the complexity of the relation of isomorphism between separable Banach spaces up to Borel reducibility, and we achieve this using the classical spaces $c_0$, $\ell_p$ and $L_p$, $1 \leq p <2$. More…

We establish new results on the $\mathcal I$-approximation property for the Banach operator ideal $\mathcal I=\mathcal{K}_{up}$ of the unconditionally $p$-compact operators in the case of $1\le p<2$. As a consequence of our results, we…

We study relative amenability and amenability of a right coideal $\widetilde{N}_P\subseteq \ell^\infty(\mathbb{G})$ of a discrete quantum group in terms of its group-like projection $P$. We establish a notion of a $P$-left invariant state…

We study the integro-differential operators $L$ with kernels $K(y) = a(y) J(y)$, where $J(y)dy$ is a L\'evy measure on $\bR^d$ (i.e. $\int_{\bR^d}(1\wedge |y|^2)J(y)dy<\infty$) and $a(y)$ is an only measurable function with positive lower…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group. We show that its Fourier algebra $A(G)$ is amenable if and only if $G$ has an abelian subgroup of finite index, and that its Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$ is amenable if and only if $G$ has a compact,…

A locally compact group $G$ is amenable if and only if it has Reiter's property $(P_p)$ for $p=1$ or, equivalently, all $p \in [1,\infty)$, i.e., there is a net $(m_\alpha)_\alpha$ of non-negative norm one functions in $L^p(G)$ such that…

For any $p\in[1,\infty)$, we prove that the set of simple functions taking at most $k$ different values is proximinal in B\"ochner spaces $L^p(X)$ whenever $X$ is a dual Banach space with $w^*$-sequentially compact unit ball. With…

For a separable rearrangement invariant space $X$ on $[0,1]$ of fundamental type we identify the set of all $p\in [1,\infty]$ such that $\ell^p$ is finitely represented in $X$ in such a way that the unit basis vectors of $\ell^p$ ($c_0$ if…

The following theorem is the main result of this note. Theorem 1. Let $(E, \|\cdot\|_E) $ be a rearrangement invariant Banach function space on the interval $[0, 1]$. If $E$ is isometric to $\L_p [0, 1]$ for some $1\le p<\infty$, then $E$…

When $p$ is a computable real so that $p \geq 1$, the isometry degree of a computable copy $\mathcal{B}$ of $\ell^p$ is defined to be the least powerful Turing degree that computes a linear isometry of $\ell^p$ onto $\mathcal{B}$. We show…

In the present paper, the concepts of module (uniform) approximate amenability and contractibility of Banach algebras that are modules over another Banach algebra, are introduced. The general theory is developed and some hereditary…

Let $\msp$ be a purely non-atomic measure space, and let $1 < p < \infty$. If $\weakLp\msp$ is isomorphic, as a Banach space, to $\weakLp\mspp$ for some purely atomic measure space $\mspp$, then there is a measurable partition $\Omega =…

For $f \colon [0,1] \rar \real^{+}$, consider the relation $\mathbf{E}_{f}$ on $[0,1]^{\omega}$ defined by $(x_{n}) \mathbf{E}_{f} (y_{n}) \Leftrightarrow \sum_{n < \omega} f(|y_{n} - x_{n}|) < \infty.$ We study the Borel reducibility of…

We prove that a discrete group $G$ is amenable iff it is strongly unitarizable in the following sense: every unitarizable representation $\pi$ on $G$ can be unitarized by an invertible chosen in the von Neumann algebra generated by the…

In this note we prove that, for $p>0$, $L_{p}[0,1]\smallsetminus\bigcup_{q\in(p,\infty)}L_{q}[0,1]$ is $(\alpha,\mathfrak{c})$-spaceable if, and only if, $\alpha<\aleph_{0}$. Such a problem first appears in [V. F\'avaro, D. Pellegrino, D.…

It is known that if finite subsets of a locally finite metric space $M$ admit $C$-bilipschitz embeddings into $\ell_p$ $(1\le p\le \infty)$, then for every $\epsilon>0$, the space $M$ admits a $(C+\epsilon)$-bilipschitz embedding into…

We show that the incompressible Euler equations on $\mathbb{R}^2$ are not locally well-posed in the sense of Hadamard in the Besov space $B^1_{\infty,1}$. Our approach relies on the technique of Lagrangian deformations of Bourgain and Li.…
