The aim of this article is to use Banach lattice techniques to study coordinate systems in function spaces. We begin by proving that the greedy algorithm of a basis is order convergent if and only if a certain maximal inequality is…

We prove that the class of reflexive asymptotic-$c_0$ Banach spaces is coarsely rigid, meaning that if a Banach space $X$ coarsely embeds into a reflexive asymptotic-$c_0$ space $Y$, then $X$ is also reflexive and asymptotic-$c_0$. In order…

We prove that if the group of isometries of C(X,E) is algebraically reflexive, then the group of n-isometries is also algebraically reflexive. Here, X is a compact Hausdorff space and E is a Banach space. As a corollary to this, we…

We prove that finite lamplighter groups $\{\mathbb{Z}_2\wr\mathbb{Z}_n\}_{n\ge 2}$ with a standard set of generators embed with uniformly bounded distortions into any non-superreflexive Banach space, and therefore form a set of test-spaces…

In this note various geometric properties of a Banach space $X$ are characterized by means of weaker corresponding geometric properties involving an ultrapower $X^\mathcal{U}$. The characterizations do not depend on the particular choice of…

We survey recent developments on the structure of complemented subspaces of Banach lattices, including in particular the construction of a complemented subspace of a $C(K)$-space which is not linearly isomorphic to any Banach lattice.…

Let $X$ be a real reflexive Banach space and $X^*$ be its dual space. Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be open subsets of $X$ such that $\bar G_2\subset G_1$, $0\in G_2$, and $G_1$ is bounded. Let $L: X\supset D(L)\to X^*$ be a densely defined linear…

We consider the problem of isometric embedding of metric spaces to the Banach spaces; and introduce and study the remarkable class of so-called linearly rigid metric spaces: these are the spaces that admit a unique, up to isometry, linearly…

We study the problem of the existence of a common algebraic complement for a pair of closed subspaces of a Banach space. We prove the following two characterizations: (1) The pairs of subspaces of a Banach space with a common complement…

We study the problem of existence and uniqueness of isometric Banach preduals of a Banach space. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an isometric Banach predual of a Banach space $X$. Then we focus on the case…

Given a Banach space we consider the $\sigma$-ideal of all of its subsets which are covered by countably many hyperplanes and investigate its standard cardinal characteristics as the additivity, the covering number, the uniformity, the…

We present a method for estimating the maximal symmetry of a continuous regression function. Knowledge of such a symmetry can be used to significantly improve modelling by removing the modes of variation resulting from the symmetries.…

It was proved by Argyros and Dodos that, for many classes $ C $ of separable Banach spaces which share some property $ P $, there exists an isomorphically universal space that satisfies $ P $ as well. We introduce a variant of their…

Let $X$ be a Banach space with a separable dual. We prove that $X$ embeds isomorphically into a $\cL_\infty$ space $Z$ whose dual is isomorphic to $\ell_1$. If, moreover, $U$ is a space so that $U$ and $X$ are totally incomparable, then we…

Let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on a (real or complex) Banach space $X$. If $(a_n)$ is a sequence of non-negative numbers tending to 0. Then, the set of $x \in X$ such that $\|T^nx\| \geqslant a_n \|T^n\|$ for infinitely many $n$'s has…

We present an infinite dimensional Banach space in which the set of hyperbolic linear isomorphisms in that space is not dense (in the norm topology) in the set of linear isomorphisms.

We give a self-contained treatment of symmetric Banach sequence spaces and some of their natural properties. We are particularly interested in the symmetry of the norm and the existence of symmetric linear functionals. Many of the presented…

We study the large scale geometry of the upper triangular subgroup of PSL(2,Z[1/n]), which arises naturally in a geometric context. We prove a quasi-isometry classification theorem and show that these groups are quasi-isometrically rigid…

A problem of Banach asks whether every infinite-dimensional Banach space which is isomorphic to all its infinite-dimensional subspaces must be isomorphic to a separable Hilbert space. In this paper we prove a result of a Ramsey-theoretic…

Let X be a proper hyperbolic geodesic metric space and let G be a closed subgroup of the isometry group Iso(X) of X. We show that if G is not amenable then its second continuous bounded cohomology group with coefficients the regular…
