We construct a nonseparable Banach space $\mathcal X$ (actually, of density continuum) such that any uncountable subset $\mathcal Y$ of the unit sphere of $\mathcal X$ contains uncountably many points distant by less than $1$ (in fact, by…

In this paper, we prove that there exists a universal constant $C$, depending only on positive integers $n\geq 3$ and $p\leq n-1$, such that if $M^n$ is a compact free boundary submanifold of dimension $n$ immersed in the Euclidean unit…

We prove that for every $n\in \mathbb{N}$ there exists a metric space $(X,d_X)$, an $n$-point subset $S\subseteq X$, a Banach space $(Z,\|\cdot\|_Z)$ and a $1$-Lipschitz function $f:S\to Z$ such that the Lipschitz constant of every function…

A diversity $\delta$ in $M$ is a function defined over every finite set of points of $M$ mapped onto $[0,\infty)$, with the properties that $\delta(X)=0$ if and only if $|X|\leq 1$ and $\delta(X\cup Y)\leq\delta(X\cup Z)+\delta(Z\cup Y)$,…

We give a characterization of the existence of copies of $c_{0}$ in Banach spaces in terms of indexes. As an application, we deduce new proofs of James Distortion theorem and Bessaga-Pe{\l}czynski theorem about weakly unconditionally Cauchy…

We introduce two new notions called the Daugavet constant and $\Delta$-constant of a point, which measure quantitatively how far the point is from being Daugavet point and $\Delta$-point and allow us to study Daugavet and $\Delta$-points in…

This paper is devoted to the study of the Cauchy problem for the Boussinesq system with partial viscosity in dimension $N\geq3.$ First we prove a global existence result for data in Lorentz spaces satisfying a smallness condition which is…

The sign uncertainty principle of Bourgain, Clozel & Kahane asserts that if a function $f:\mathbb{R}^d\to \mathbb{R}$ and its Fourier transform $\widehat{f}$ are nonpositive at the origin and not identically zero, then they cannot both be…

Let $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ be two closed linear relation acting between two Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ and let $\lambda$ be a complex number. We study the stability of the nullity and deficiency of $\mathcal A$ when it is perturbed by…

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…

H. Cartan in his book on differential calculus proved a theorem generalizing a Cauchy's mean-value theorem to the case of functions taking values in a Banach space. Cartan used this theorem in a masterful way to develop the entire theory of…

We prove that there exists an equivalent norm $\Vert\vert\cdot\vert\Vert$ on $L_\infty[0,1]$ with the following properties: (1) The unit ball of $(L_\infty[0,1],\Vert\vert\cdot\vert\Vert)$ contains non-empty relatively weakly open subsets…

We characterize those classes $\ccc$ of separable Banach spaces admitting a separable universal space $Y$ (that is, a space $Y$ containing, up to isomorphism, all members of $\ccc$) which is not universal for all separable Banach spaces.…

We prove that Hilbert space is distortable and, in fact, arbitrarily distortable. This means that for all lambda >1 there exists an equivalent norm |.| on l_2 such that for all infinite dimensional subspaces Y of l_2 there exist x,y in Y…

For a fixed $K\gg 1$ and $n\in\mathbb{N}$, $n\gg 1$, we study metric spaces which admit embeddings with distortion $\le K$ into each $n$-dimensional Banach space. Classical examples include spaces embeddable into $\log n$-dimensional…

We use a self-improvement argument to give a very short and elementary proof of the result of Bourgain saying that regular trees do not admit bi-Lipschitz embeddings into uniformly convex Banach spaces.

We prove an extension of Bourgain's theorem on pinned distances in measurable subset of $\mathbb{R}^2$ of positive upper density, namely Theorem $1^\prime$ in [Bourgain, 1986], to pinned non-degenerate $k$-dimensional simplices in…

Our basic element is a $C^1$ mapping $f:X\to Y$, with $X,Y$ Banach spaces, and with derivative everywhere invertible. So $f$ is a local diffeomorphism at every point. The aim of this paper is to find a sufficient condition for $f$ to be…

Diversities are like metric spaces, except that every finite subset, instead of just every pair of points, is assigned a value. Just as there is a theory of minimal distortion embeddings of finite metric spaces into $L_1$, there is a…

Discretization of the uniform norm of functions from a given finite dimensional subspace of continuous functions is studied. We pay special attention to the case of trigonometric polynomials with frequencies from an arbitrary finite set…
