We study the problem of the existence of a common algebraic complement for a pair of closed subspaces of a Banach space. We prove the following two characterizations: (1) The pairs of subspaces of a Banach space with a common complement…

A Banach space $X$ is called subprojective if any of its infinite dimensional subspaces $Y$ contains a further infinite dimensional subspace complemented in $X$. This paper is devoted to systematic study of subprojectivity. We examine the…

It is a longstanding problem whether every contractible Banach algebra is necessarily finite-dimensional. In this note, we confirm this for Banach algebras acting on Banach spaces with the uniform approximation property. This generalizes a…

Let $A$ and $B$ be complex unital Banach algebras, and let $\varphi, \psi: A \to B$ be surjective mappings. If $A$ is semisimple with an essential socle and $\varphi$ and $\psi$ preserves the invertibility of linear pencils in both…

We show that if $1<p\neq 2<\infty$, then any isometry of the $p$-convexification of the combinatorial Banach space associated with a hereditary family of finite subsets of $\mathbb{N}$ containing the singletons is given by a signed…

We investigate additive properties of sets $A,$ where $A=\{a_1,a_2,\ldots ,a_k\}$ is a monotone increasing set of real numbers, and the differences of consecutive elements are all distinct. It is known that $|A+B|\geq c|A||B|^{1/2}$ for any…

An infinite dimensional notion of asymptotic structure is considered. This notion is developed in terms of trees and branches on Banach spaces. Every countably infinite countably branching tree $\mathcal T$ of a certain type on a space X is…

If a separable Banach space contains an isometric copy of every separable reflexive Fr\'echet smooth Banach space, then it contains an isometric copy of every separable Banach space. The same conclusion holds if we consider separable Banach…

The method of compatible sequences is introduced in order to produce non-trivial (closed) invariant subspaces of (bounded linear) operators. Also a topological tool is used which is new in the search of invariant subspaces: the extraction…

Let $X$ be a Banach space, and $M,N$ be two closed subspaces of $X$. We present several necessary and sufficient conditions for the closedness of $M+N$ ($M+N$ is not necessarily direct sum).

Given a Banach space we consider the $\sigma$-ideal of all of its subsets which are covered by countably many hyperplanes and investigate its standard cardinal characteristics as the additivity, the covering number, the uniformity, the…

A new method of defining hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces is presented. This method provides a unified approach for constructing reflexive HI spaces and also HI spaces with no reflexive subspace. All the spaces presented here…

In this short note, we first consider some inequalities for comparison of some algebraic properties of two continuous algebra-multiplications on an arbitrary Banach space and then, as an application, we consider some very basic observations…

There exists a real hereditarily indecomposable Banach space $X$ such that the quotient space $L(X)/S(X)$ by strictly singular operators is isomorphic to the complex field (resp. to the quaternionic division algebra). Up to isomorphism, the…

This paper is devoted to providing a unifying approach to the study of the uniqueness of unconditional bases, up to equivalence and permutation, of infinite direct sums of quasi-Banach spaces. Our new approach to this type of problem…

We obtain a refinement of a selection principle for $(\mathcal{K}, \lambda)$-wide-$(s)$ sequences in Banach spaces due to Rosenthal. This result is then used to show that if $C$ is a bounded, non-weakly compact, closed convex subset of a…

We examine the phenomenon when surjective algebra homomorphisms between algebras of operators on Banach spaces are automatically injective. In the first part of the paper we shall show that for certain Banach spaces $X$ the following…

Let ${\mathcal B}(X)$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on an infinite dimensional complex Banach space $X$. We prove that an additive surjective map $\phi$ on ${\mathcal B}(X)$ preserves the reduced minimum modulus if and only…

We address a number of problems concerning the (im)possibility of either extending locally trivial subbundles of possibly singular Banach/$C^*$ bundles globally, embedding subhomogeneous bundles into homogeneous ones, or recovering locally…

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra with a bounded left approximate identity $\{e_\lambda\}_{\lambda\in\Lambda}$, let $\pi$ be a continuous representation of $A$ on a Banach space $X$, and let $S$ be a non-empty subset of $X$ such that…
