Known results are reviewed about the bounded and convex bounded variants, bT and cbT, of a topology T on a real Banach space. The focus is on the cases of T = w(P*, P) and of T = m(P*, P), which are the weak* and the Mackey topologies on a…

It is shown that if the dual of a Banach space, $X^*$, where the dual ball is weak* sequentially compact, has the weak* uniform Kadec-Klee property then $X^*$ has Property($K^*$). An example is given where the reverse implication does not…

Let $X$ be a Hausdorff topological vector space, $X^*$ its topological dual and $Z$ a subset of $X^*$. In this paper, we establish some results concerning the $\sigma(X,Z)$-approximate fixed point property for bounded, closed convex subsets…

It is shown that there is no K closed convex bounded non-dentable subset of C({\omega}^{\omega} ^k) such that on the subsets of K the PCP and the RNP are equivalent properties. Then applying Schachermayer-Rosenthal theorem, we conclude that…

We show that the classes of separable reflexive Banach spaces and of spaces with separable dual are strongly bounded. This gives a new proof of a recent result of E. Odell and Th. Schlumprecht, asserting that there exists a separable…

The classical theory of regularity of embeddings of compact convex sets was developed in the 1970s, exclusively in the real case, and even there it does not appear to have been stated in its simplest form. We begin by revisiting this…

In a paper from 1987, Gruenhage defined a class of topological spaces that now bear his name, and used it to solve a problem of Talagrand on the existence of dense $G_\delta$ metrizable subsets of Gul'ko compact spaces. Gruenhage's paper…

We present a necessary condition for a pair of $\mathcal{C}(K)$ spaces to be isomorphic in terms of topological properties of Cantor-Bendixon derivatives of $K$. This in particular gives a completely new information about the perfect…

We study almost square Banach spaces under a topological point of view. Indeed, we prove that the class of Banach spaces which admits an equivalent norm to be ASQ is that of those Banach spaces which contain an isomorphic copy of $c_0$. We…

Let $E$ be a Banach space and $\X$ be the closed unit ball of the dual space $E^*$. For a compact set $K$ in $E$, we prove that $K$ is polynomially convex in $E$ if and only if there exist a unital commutative Banach algebra $A$ and a…

We study the class of compact spaces that appear as structure spaces of separable Banach lattices. In other words, we analyze what $C(K)$ spaces appear as principal ideals of separable Banach lattices. Among other things, it is shown that…

In the main result of the paper we extend Rosenthal's characterization of Banach spaces with the Schur property by showing that for a quasi-complete locally convex space $E$ whose separable bounded sets are metrizable the following…

Relatively recently it was proved that if $\Gamma$ is an arbitrary set, then any equivalent norm on $c_0(\Gamma)$ can be approximated uniformly on bounded sets by polyhedral norms and $C^\infty$ smooth norms, with arbitrary precision. We…

In this note, we investigate the renorming theory of Banach spaces with property $(\beta)$ of Rolewicz. In particular, we give a "coordinate-free" proof of the fact that every Banach space with property $(\beta)$ admits an equivalent norm…

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…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of topologically Banach contraction mapping defined on an arbitrary topological space X with the help of a continuous function $g:X\times X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and investigate the existence of fixed…

We introduce a property of Banach spaces called uniform convex-transitivity, which falls between almost transitivity and convex-transitivity. We will provide examples of uniformly convex-transitive spaces. This property behaves nicely in…

We strengthen the property $\Delta$ of a function $f:[\omega_2]^2\rightarrow [\omega_2]^{\leq \omega}$ considered by Baumgartner and Shelah. This allows us to consider new types of amalgamations in the forcing used by Rabus, Juh\'asz and…

It is shown that a separable Banach space $X$ can be given an equivalent norm $|\!|\!|\cdot |\!|\!|$ with the following properties:\quad If $(x_n)\subseteq X$ is relatively weakly compact and $\lim_{m\to\infty} \lim_{n\to\infty}\break…

Let G/H be a pseudo-Riemannian semisimple symmetric space. The tangent bundle T(G/H) contains a maximal G-invariant neighbourhood of the zero section where the adapted complex structure exists. Such neighbourhood is endowed with a canonical…
