The famous Rosenthal-Lacey theorem asserts that for each infinite compact space $K$ the Banach space $C(K)$ admits a quotient which is either a copy of $c_{0}$ or $\ell_{2}$. The aim of the paper is to study a natural variant of this result…

The relation between the free Banach lattice generated by a Banach space and free dual spaces is clarified. In particular, it is shown that for every Banach space $E$ the free $p$-convex Banach lattice generated by $E^{**}$, denoted…

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 $H$…

This paper considers explicit constructions of Auerbach bases in separable Banach spaces. Answering the question of A. Pe{\l}czy{\'n}ski, we prove by construction the existence of Auerbach basis in arbitrary subspace of $c_0$ of finite…

A. Szankowski's example is used to construct a Banach space similar to that of "An example of an asymptotically Hilbertian space which fails the approximation property", P.G. Casazza, C.L. Garc\'{\i}a, W.B. Johnson [math.FA/0006134…

Non-commutative $L^p$-spaces are shown to constitute examples of a class of Banach quasi *-algebras called CQ*-algebras. For $p\geq 2$ they are also proved to possess a {\em sufficient} family of bounded positive sesquilinear forms…

Let $E$ be a Banach space, and $\mathcal B(E)$ the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $E$. The question of amenability of $\mathcal B(E)$ goes back to Johnson's seminal memoir \cite{johnson} from 1972. We present the first general…

We show that if $X$ and $Y$ are Banach spaces, where $Y$ is separable and polyhedral, and if $T:X \to Y$ is a bounded linear operator such that $T^*(Y^*)$ contains a boundary $B$ of $X$, then $X$ is separable and isomorphic to a polyhedral…

For a certain class of algebras $\cal A$ we give a method for constructing Banach spaces $X$ such that every operator on $X$ is close to an operator in $\cal A$. This is used to produce spaces with a small amount of structure. We present…

We analyse several examples of separable Banach spaces, some of them new, and relate them to several dichotomies obtained in the previous paper Banach spaces without minimal subspaces, by classifying them according to which side of the…

Let $1\le p<\infty$. A symmetric space $X$ on $[0,1]$ is said to be $p$-disjointly homogeneous (resp. restricted $p$-disjointly homogeneous) if every sequence of normalized pairwise disjoint functions from $X$ (resp. characteristic…

We study those Banach spaces $X$ for which $S_X$ does not admit a finite $\eps$-net consisting of elements of $S_X$ for any $\eps < 2$. We give characterisations of this class of spaces in terms of $\ell_1$-type sequences and in terms of…

Let $\msp$ be a measure space and let $1 < p < \infty$. The {\em weak $L^p$}\/ space $\wlp$ consists of all measurable functions $f$ such that \[ \|f\| = \sup_{t>0}t^{\frac{1}{p}}f^*(t) < \infty,\] where $f^*$ is the decreasing…

The Banach space $L^p(X,\mu)$, for $X$ a compact Hausdorff measure space, is considered as a special kind of quasi *-algebra (called CQ*-algebra) over the C*-algebra $C(X)$ of continuous functions on $X$. It is shown that, for $p \geq 2$,…

We show that norms on certain Banach spaces $X$ can be approximated uniformly, and with arbitrary precision, on bounded subsets of $X$ by $C^{\infty}$ smooth norms and polyhedral norms. In particular, we show that this holds for any…

It is proved that for every compact metric space $K$ there exists a Banach space $X$ whose Calkin algebra $\mathcal{L}(X)/\mathcal{K}(X)$ is homomorphically isometric to $C(K)$. This is achieved by appropriately modifying the…

The paper is concerned with the problem whether a nonseparable Banach space must contain an uncountable set of vectors such that the distances between every two distinct vectors of the set are the same. Such sets are called equilateral. We…

Given a Banach space $E$, we ask which closed subspaces may be realised as the kernel of a bounded operator $E \rightarrow E$. We prove some positive results which imply in particular that when $E$ is separable every closed subspace is a…

Suppose $X$ is a real or complexified Banach space containing a complemented copy of $\ell_p$, $p\in(1,2)$, and a copy (not necessarily complemented) of either $\ell_q$, $q\in(p,\infty)$, or $c_0$. Then $\mathcal{L}(X)$ and…

We show that the class of subspaces of c_0 is stable under Lipschitz isomorphisms. The main corollary is that any Banach space which is Lipschitz isomorphic to c_0 is linearly isomorphic to c_0.
