In this paper we study conditions on a Banach space X that ensure that the Banach algebra K(X) of compact operators is amenable. We give a symmetrized approximation property of X which is proved to be such a condition. This property is…

We show that a (complex) $C_\sigma$-space is separably injective if and only if it is linearly isometric to the Banach space $C_0(\Omega)$ of complex continuous functions vanishing at infinity on a substonean locally compact Hausdorff space…

Let $C_0(K, X)$ denote the space of all continuous $X$-valued functions defined on the locally compact Hausdorff space $K$ which vanish at infinity, provided with the supremum norm. If $X$ is the scalar field, we denote $C_0(K, X)$ by…

We address the following question: what is the class of Banach spaces isomorphic to subspaces of indecomposable Banach spaces? We show that this class includes all Banach spaces of density not bigger than the continuum which do not admit…

We set up a descriptive set-theoretic framework to study Lipschitz-free spaces and use the reduction argument of Bossard to prove several results. We prove two universality results: if a separable Banach space is isomorphically universal…

In these notes, we study nonlinear embeddings between Banach spaces which are also weakly sequentially continuous. In particular, our main result implies that if a Banach space $X$ coarsely (resp. uniformly) embeds into a Banach space $Y$…

A topological space $X$ is called $\Cal A$-real compact, if every algebra homomorphism from $\Cal A$ to the reals is an evaluation at some point of $X$, where $\Cal A$ is an algebra of continuous functions. Our main interest lies on…

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 study the space $c_{0,\mathcal{I}}$ of all bounded sequences $(x_n)$ that $\mathcal{I}$-converge to $0$, endowed with the sup norm, where $\mathcal{I}$ is an ideal of subsets of $\mathbb{N}$. We show that two such spaces,…

We introduce and study the notion of space of almost universal complemented disposition (a.u.c.d.) as a generalization of Kadec space. We show that every Banach space with separable dual is isometrically contained as a $1$-complemented…

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 prove that a WLD subspace of the space $\ell_\infty^c(\Gamma)$ consisting of all bounded, countably supported functions on a set $\Gamma$ embeds isomorphically into $\ell_\infty$ if and only if it does not contain isometric copies of…

An L-embedded Banach spaace is a Banach space which is complemented in its bidual such that the norm is additive between the two complementary parts. On such spaces we define a topology, called an abstract measure topology, which by known…

We prove the existence of the invariant subspaces of some operators in a real Banach space. For example, linear isometries have invariant subspaces

Given a Banach space $X$, we say that a sequence $\{x_n\}$ in the unit ball of $X$ is $L$-orthogonal if $\Vert x+x_n\Vert\rightarrow 1+\Vert x\Vert$ for every $x\in X$. On the other hand, an element $x^{**}$ in the bidual sphere is said to…

Let X,Y be two Banach spaces ; in the first part of this work, we show that K(X,Y) contains a complemented copy of c0 if Y contains a copy of c0 and each bounded sequence in Y has a subsequece which is w* convergente. Afterward we obtain…

For every Banach space $Z$ with a shrinking unconditional basis satisfying upper $p$-estimates for some $p > 1$, an isomorphically polyhedral Banach space is constructed having an unconditional basis and admitting a quotient isomorphic to…

We initiate a study of structural properties of the quotient algebra $\mathcal K(X)/\mathcal A(X)$ of the compact-by-approximable operators on Banach spaces $X$ failing the approximation property. Our main results and examples include the…

A separable Banach space X contains $\ell_1$ isomorphically if and only if X has a bounded wc_0^*-stable biorthogonal system. The dual of a separable Banach space X fails the Schur property if and only if X has a bounded wc_0^*-biorthogonal…

A set $E$ in a Banach space $X$ is compactivorous if for every compact set $K$ in $X$ there is a nonempty, (relatively) open subset of $K$ which can be translated into $E$. In a separable Banach space, this is a sufficient condition which…
