We consider the compactness of derivations from commutative Banach algebras into their dual modules. We show that if there are no compact derivations from a commutative Banach algebra, $A$, into its dual module, then there are no compact…

Let C(K) be the Banach space of all continuous functions on a given compact space K. We investigate the w*-sequential closure in C(K)* of the set of all finitely supported probabilities on K. We discuss the coincidence of the Baire…

We study the existence of pointwise Kadec renormings for Banach spaces of the form $C(K)$. We show in particular that such a renorming exists when $K$ is any product of compact linearly ordered spaces, extending the result for a single…

We extend the notion of an almost flat bundle over a closed Riemannian manifold to bundles over simplicial complexes, and prove that up to a constant factor, this notion is invariant under pullback via maps which induce isomorphisms on…

We prove that it is consistent with $\mathfrak c>\aleph_2$ that all automorphisms of $\mathcal P(\omega)/\mbox{fin}$ are trivial.

In this paper we extend a result of Semrl stating that every 2-local automorphism of the full operator algebra on a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space is an automorphism. In fact, besides separable Hilbert spaces, we obtain the…

Extending well-known results on surfaces, we give bounds on the cohomological action of automorphisms of compact K\"ahler threefolds. More precisely, if the action is virtually unipotent we prove that the norm of $(f^n)^*$ grows at most as…

We describe the automorphism group of the endomorphism semigroup $\End(K[x_1,...,x_n])$ of ring $K[x_1,...,x_n]$ of polynomials over an {\it arbitrary} field $K$. A similar result is obtained for automorphism group of the category of…

We show that there does not exist a Kobayashi hyperbolic complex manifold of dimension $n\ne 3$, whose group of holomorphic automorphisms has dimension $n^2+1$ and that, if a 3-dimensional connected hyperbolic complex manifold has…

Defect of compactness for non-compact imbeddings of Banach spaces can be expressed in the form of a profile decomposition. This paper extends the profile decomposition for Sobolev spaces proved by Solimini (AIHP 1995) to the non-reflexive…

This paper aims to establish the geometrical finiteness for the natural isometric actions of (birational) automorphism groups on the hyperbolic spaces for K3 surfaces, Enriques surfaces, Coble surfaces, and irreducible symplectic varieties.…

We determine the subgroup of automorphisms acting trivially on the second integral cohomology for hyperkaehler manifolds which are deformation equivalent to O'Grady's sporadic examples. In particular, we prove that this subgroup is trivial…

For a metric compact space $L$ and a Banach space $E$, we provide a characterization of the complementability of the Banach space $\mathcal{C}(L)$ of continuous functions on $L$ inside $E$ in terms of the existence of a certain tree in the…

We investigate the problem of classifying the Banach spaces $\mathrm{Lip}_0(C(K))$ for Hausdorff compacta $K$. In particular, sufficient conditions are established for a space $\mathrm{Lip}_0(C(K))$ to be isomorphic to…

A subspace $X$ of a vector space over a field $K$ is hyperinvariant with respect to an endomorphism $f$ of $V$ if it is invariant for all endomorphisms of $V$ that commute with $f$. We assume that $f$ is locally nilpotent, that is, every $…

$C_p(X)$ denotes the space of continuous real-valued functions on a Tychonoff space $X$ endowed with the topology of pointwise convergence. A Banach space $E$ equipped with the weak topology is denoted by $E_{w}$. It is unknown whether…

In this paper, pointwise convergence, uniform convergence and compact convergence of sequences of holomorphic functions on an open subset of the complex plane are compared from a linear point of view. In fact, it is proved the existence of…

The Hausdorff distance, the Gromov-Hausdorff, the Fr\'echet and the natural pseudo-distances are instances of dissimilarity measures widely used in shape comparison. We show that they share the property of being defined as $\inf_\rho…

Given a Boolean algebra B and an embedding e:B -> P(N)/fin we consider the possibility of extending each or some automorphism of B to the whole P(N)/fin. Among other things, we show, assuming CH, that for a wide class of Boolean algebras…

We prove that no ultraproduct of Banach spaces via a countably incomplete ultrafilter can contain $c_0$ complemented. This shows that a "result" widely used in the theory of ultraproducts is wrong. We then amend a number of results whose…
