We prove that a Banach space has the uniform approximation property with proportional growth of the uniformity function iff it is a weak Hilbert space.

Ge and Lin (2015) proved the existence and the uniqueness of p-Cauchy completions of partial metric spaces under symmetric denseness. They asked if every (non-empty) partial metric space $X$ has a p-Cauchy completion $\bar{X}$ such that $X$…

No convenient internal characterization of spaces that are productively Lindelof is known. Perhaps the best general result known is Alster's internal characterization, under the Continuum Hypothesis, of productively Lindelof spaces which…

We introduce two notions called $k-$weakly uniform rotundity ($k-$WUR) and $k-$weakly locally uniform rotundity ($k-$WLUR) in real Banach spaces. These are natural generalizations of the well-known concepts $k-$UR and WUR. By introducing…

In this paper we show the weak Banach-Saks property of the Banach vector space $(L_\mu^p)^m$ generated by $m$ $L_\mu^p$-spaces for $1\leq p<+\infty,$ where $m$ is any given natural number. When $m=1,$ this is the famous Banach-Saks-Szlenk…

Let $X$ be a Banach space and let $C$ be a closed convex bounded subset of $X$. It is proved that $C$ is weakly compact if, and only if, $C$ has the {it generic} fixed point property ($\mathcal{G}$-FPP) for the class of $L$-bi-Lipschitz…

We revisit Bourgain's 1981 counterexample to the sequential completeness of the `pointwise plus domination' convergence on $\ell_1$ from the perspective of vector lattices. In this setting, we show that for sequences the associated notion…

Let $E$ be an order continuous K\"{o}the function space over a non purely atomic probability measure $\mu$ and let $X$ be a Banach space, with topological duals $E^*$ and $X^*$, respectively. Let $E(X)$ and $E^*(X^*)$ be the corresponding…

We study the existence of continuous (linear) operators from the Banach spaces $\mbox{Lip}_0(M)$ of Lipschitz functions on infinite metric spaces $M$ vanishing at a distinguished point and from their predual spaces $\mathcal{F}(M)$ onto…

While the classic separable quotient problem remains open, we survey general results related to this problem and examine the existence of a particular infinitedimensional separable quotient in some Banach spaces of vector-valued functions,…

Let $H$ be a Hilbert space. Using Ball's solution of the "complex plank problem" we prove that the following properties of a sequence $a_n>0$ are equivalent: (1) There is a sequence $x_n \in H$ with $\|x_n\|=a_n$, having 0 as a weak cluster…

We use dual equivalence to give a short, combinatorial proof that Stanley symmetric functions are Schur positive. We introduce weak dual equivalence, and use it to give a short, combinatorial proof that Schubert polynomials are key…

First we prove that if a separable Banach space $X$ contains an isometric copy of an infinite-dimensional space $A(S)$ of affine continuous functions on a Choquet simplex $S$, then its dual $X^*$ lacks the weak$^*$ fixed point property for…

The class of countably intersected families of sets is defined. For any such family we define a Banach space not containing $\ell^{1}(\NN )$. Thus we obtain counterexamples to certain questions related to the heredity problem for W.C.G.…

Let $X^*$ denote a Banach space with a subsymmetric weak$^*$ Schauder basis satisfying condition~\eqref{eq:condition-c}. We show that for any operator $T : X^*\to X^*$, either $T(X^*)$ or $(I-T)(X^*)$ contains a subspace that is isomorphic…

Let $Z$ and $X$ be Banach spaces. Suppose that $X$ is Asplund. Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a bounded set of operators from $Z$ to $X$ with the following property: a bounded sequence $(z_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ in $Z$ is weakly null if, for each $M…

This paper addresses several questions of Feng, Gruenhage, and Shen which arose from Michael's theory of continuous selections from countable spaces. We construct an example of a space which is $L$-selective but not $\mathbb{Q}$-selective…

Let $X$ be a Banach space and $Y \subseteq X$ be a closed subspace. We prove that if the quotient $X/Y$ is weakly Lindel\"{o}f determined or weak Asplund, then for every $w^*$-convergent sequence $(y_n^*)_{n\in \mathbb N}$ in $Y^*$ there…

The present paper contributes to the ongoing programme of quantification of isomorphic Banach space theory focusing on Pe{\l}czy\'nski's classical work on dual Banach spaces containing $L_{1}$ ($=L_{1}[0,1]$) and the Hagler--Stegall…

In this paper we study the problem of extending functions with values in a locally convex Hausdorff space $E$ over a field $\mathbb{K}$, which have weak extensions in a weighted Banach space $\mathcal{F}\nu(\Omega,\mathbb{K})$ of…
