The purpose of this article is to study the anti-coproximinal and strongly anti-coproximinal subspaces of the Banach space of all bounded (continuous) functions. We obtain a tractable necessary condition for a subspace to be stronsgly…

A metric space $(M, d)$ is said to be universal for a class of metric spaces if all metric spaces in the class can be isometrically embedded into $(M, d)$. In this paper, for a metrizable space $Z$ possessing abundant subspaces, we first…

We show that the Banach space $C(K,X)$ is subprojective if $K$ is scattered and $X$ is subprojective.

We prove that for any separable Banach space $X$, there exists a compact metric space which is homeomorphic to the Cantor space and whose Lipschitz-free space contains a complemented subspace isomorphic to $X$. As a consequence we give an…

We consider topological invariants on compact spaces related to the sizes of discrete subspaces (spread), densities of subspaces, Lindelof degree of subspaces, irredundant families of clopen sets and others and look at the following…

In this paper we deal with two weaker forms of injectivity which turn out to have a rich structure behind: separable injectivity and universal separable injectivity. We show several structural and stability properties of these classes of…

It is consistent with any possible value of the continuum $\mathfrak{c}$ that every infinite-dimensional Banach space of density $\leq \mathfrak{c}$ condenses onto the Hilbert cube. Let $\mu$ be a cardinal of uncountable cofinality. It is…

We prove that if all intersections of a convex body $B\subset\mathbb R^4$ with 3-dimensional linear subspaces are linearly equivalent then $B$ is a centered ellipsoid. This gives an affirmative answer to the case $n=3$ of the following…

For a space $X$ denote by $C_b(X)$ the Banach algebra of all continuous bounded scalar-valued functions on $X$ and denote by $C_0(X)$ the set of all elements in $C_b(X)$ which vanish at infinity. We prove that certain Banach subalgebras $H$…

A Banach symmetric space in the sense of O. Loos is a smooth Banach manifold $M$ endowed with a multiplication map $\mu\colon M \times M \to M$ such that each left multiplication map $\mu_x := \mu(x,\cdot)$ (with $x \in M$) is an involutive…

A result of G. Godefroy asserts that a Banach space $X$ contains an isomorphic copy of $\ell_1$ if and only if there is an equivalent norm $|||\cdot|||$ such that, for every finite-dimensional subspace $Y$ of $X$ and every $\varepsilon>0$,…

The complemented subspace problem asks, in general, which closed subspaces $M$ of a Banach space $X$ are complemented; i.e. there exists a closed subspace $N$ of $X$ such that $X=M\oplus N$? This problem is in the heart of the theory of…

Using isometric embedding of metric trees into Banach spaces, this paper will investigate barycenters, type and cotype, and various measures of compactness of metric trees. A metric tree ($T$, $d$) is a metric space such that between any…

We prove the following local version of Blaschke--Kakutani's characterization of ellipsoids: Let $V$ be a finite-dimensional real vector space, $B\subset V$ a convex body with 0 in its interior, and ${2\le k<\dim V}$ an integer. Suppose…

The main object of the paper is to study the distance between Banach spaces introduced by Kadets. For Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, the Kadets distance is defined to be the infimum of the Hausdorff distance $d(B_X,B_Y)$ between the respective…

We study uniform and coarse embeddings between Banach spaces and topological groups. A particular focus is put on equivariant embeddings, i.e., continuous cocycles associated to continuous affine isometric actions of topological groups on…

We extend the results of B. Minemyer by showing that any indefinite metric polyhedron (either compact or not) with the vertex degree bounded from above admits an isometric simplicial embedding into a Minkowski space of the lowest possible…

We study the unknown differences between the size of slices and relatively weakly open subsets of the unit ball in Banach spaces. We show that every Banach space containing isomorphic copies of $c_0$ can be equivalently renormed so that…

We study isomorphic universality of Banach spaces of a given density and a number of pairwise non-isomorphic models in the same class. We show that in the Cohen model the isomorphic universality number for Banach spaces of density…

In our note we show the very close connection between the existence of a Finite Dimensional Decomposition (FDD for short) for a separable Banach space $X$ and the existence of a Lipschitz retraction of $X$ onto a small (in a certain precise…
