We use the Gowers block Ramsey theorem to characterize Banach spaces containing isomorphs of $\ell_p$ (for some $1 \leq p < \infty$) or $c_0$.

We investigate the following property for Banach spaces. A Banach space $X$ satisfies the Uniform Approximation on Large Subspaces (UALS) if there exists $C>0$ with the following property: for any $A\in\mathcal{L}(X)$ and convex compact…

The classical theorem of Bishop-Phelps asserts that, for a Banach space X, the norm-achieving functionals in X* are dense in X*. Bela Bollobas's extension of the theorem gives a quantitative description of just how dense the norm-achieving…

These notes concern the nonlinear geometry of Banach spaces, asymptotic uniform smoothness and several Banach-Saks-like properties. We study the existence of certain concentration inequalities in asymptotically uniformly smooth Banach…

In these notes, we study the relation between uniform and coarse embeddings between Banach spaces. In order to understand this relation better, we also look at the problem of when a coarse embedding can be assumed to be topological. Among…

Given a Banach space $X$ and a real number $\alpha\ge 1$, we write: (1) $D(X)\le\alpha$ if, for any locally finite metric space $A$, all finite subsets of which admit bilipschitz embeddings into $X$ with distortions $\le C$, the space $A$…

We are interested in the question when a Banach space $X$ with an unconditional basis is isomorphic (as a Banach space) to an order-continuous nonatomic Banach lattice. We show that this is the case if and only if $X$ is isomorphic as a…

A Banach space is said to be Grothendieck if weak and weak$^*$ convergent sequences in the dual space coincide. This notion has been quantificated by H. Bendov\'{a}. She has proved that $\ell_\infty$ has the quantitative Grothendieck…

We investigate Banach space automorphisms $T:\ell_\infty/c_0\rightarrow\ell_\infty/c_0 $ focusing on the possibility of representing their fragments of the form $$T_{B,A}:\ell_\infty(A)/c_0(A)\rightarrow \ell_\infty(B)/c_0(B)$$ for $A,…

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 prove that every Banach space, not necessarily separable, can be isometrically embedded into a $\mathcal L_{\infty}$-space in a way that the corresponding quotient has the Radon-Nikodym and the Schur properties. As a consequence, we…

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…

Bourgain's discretization theorem asserts that there exists a universal constant $C\in (0,\infty)$ with the following property. Let $X,Y$ be Banach spaces with $\dim X=n$. Fix $D\in (1,\infty)$ and set $\delta= e^{-n^{Cn}}$. Assume that…

For a Banach space $X$ by $Conv_H(X)$ we denote the space of non-empty closed convex subsets of $X$, endowed with the Hausdorff metric. We prove that for any closed convex set $C\subset X$ and its metric component $H_C=\{A\in…

We construct a reflexive Banach space $X_\mathcal{D}$ with an unconditional basis such that all spreading models admitted by normalized block sequences in $X_\mathcal{D}$ are uniformly equivalent to the unit vector basis of $\ell_1$, yet…

We prove that if X is a separable infinite dimensional Banach space then its isomorphism class has infinite diameter with respect to the Banach-Mazur distance. One step in the proof is to show that if X is elastic then X contains an…

In this note, we study the geometry of the unit ball of the Banach space generated by the adequate family of all subsets of branches of the infinite binary tree, and answer several open questions related to slicely countably determined…

In this paper we establish some new results concerning the Cauchy-Peano problem in Banach spaces. Firstly, we prove that if a Banach space $E$ admits a fundamental biorthogonal system, then there exists a continuous vector field $f\colon…

In this paper we present a method to obtain Banach spaces of universal and almost-universal disposition with respect to a given class $\mathfrak M$ of normed spaces. The method produces, among other, the Gurari\u{\i} space $\mathcal G$ (the…

Every set $A$ of positive integers with upper Banach density 1 contains an infinite sequence of pairwise disjoint subsets $(B_i)_{i=1}^{\infty}$ such that $B_i$ has upper Banach density 1 for all $i \in \mathbf{N}$ and $\sum_{i\in I} B_i…
