We prove the result stated in the title. This provides a first example of an infinite-dimensional Banach space whose Lipschitz free space is isomorphic to the free space of a compact set.

There exists a real hereditarily indecomposable Banach space $X$ such that the quotient space $L(X)/S(X)$ by strictly singular operators is isomorphic to the complex field (resp. to the quaternionic division algebra). Up to isomorphism, the…

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…

For every couple of Hausdorff functions $ \psi$ and $\varphi $ verifying some mild assumptions, there exists a compact subset $ K $ of the Baire space such that the $ \varphi$-Hausdorff measure and the $ \psi$-packing measure on $ K$ are…

This article is a continuation of a paper of the first author \cite{F} about complex structures on real Banach spaces. We define a notion of even infinite dimensional real Banach space, and prove that there exist even spaces, including HI…

We study the isometric extension problem for H\"{o}lder maps from subsets of any Banach space into $c_0$ or into a space of continuous functions. For a Banach space $X$, we prove that any $\alpha$-H\"{o}lder map, with $0<\alpha\leq 1$, from…

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…

We prove that there is a compact space $L$ and a 1-complemented subspace of the Banach space $C(L)$ which is not isomorphic to a space of continuous functions.

For a space $X$ denote by $C_b(X)$ the Banach algebra of all continuous bounded scalar-valued functions on $X$ and denote by $C_0(X)$ the set of all elements in $C_b(X)$ which vanish at infinity. We prove that certain Banach subalgebras $H$…

We prove a commutative Gelfand--Naimark type theorem, by showing that the set $C_s(X)$ of continuous bounded (real or complex valued) functions with separable support on a locally separable metrizable space $X$ (provided with the supremum…

We show that every Banach space containing isomorphic copies of $c_0$ can be equivalently renormed so that every nonempty relatively weakly open subset of its unit ball has diameter 2 and, however, its unit ball still contains convex…

The famous Rosenthal-Lacey theorem asserts that for each infinite compact set $K$ the Banach space $C(K)$ admits a quotient which is either a copy of $c$ or $\ell_{2}$. What is the case when the uniform topology of $C(K)$ is replaced by the…

A recent result of T.~Abrahamsen, P.~H\'ajek and S.~Troyanski states that a separable Banach space is almost square if and only if there exists $h\in S_{X^{****}}$ such that $\|x+h\|=\max\{\|x\|,1\}$ for all $x\in X$. The proof passes…

We construct a reflexive Banach space $X$ with a subspace isometric to $X$, which is not complemented in $X$.

The main result: the dual of separable Banach space $X$ contains a total subspace which is not norming over any infinite dimensional subspace of $X$ if and only if $X$ has a nonquasireflexive quotient space with the strictly singular…

We construct a hereditarily indecomposable Banach space with dual isomorphic to $\ell_1$. Every bounded linear operator on this space has the form $\lambda I+K$ with $\lambda$ a scalar and $K$ compact.

In the first part of our note we prove that every Weakly Lindel\"of Determined (WLD) (in particular, every reflexive) non-separable Banach $X$ space contains two dense linear subspaces $Y$ and $Z$ that are not densely isomorphic. This means…

Let (e_i) be a dictionary for a separable Banach space X. We consider the problem of approximation by linear combinations of dictionary elements with quantized coefficients drawn usually from a `finite alphabet'. We investigate several…

We present an isometric version of the complementably universal Banach space $\mathcal{B}$ with a monotone Schauder basis. The space $\mathcal{B}$ is isomorphic to Pe{\l}czy\'nski's space with a universal basis as well as to Kadec'…

We show that for each natural $n>1$ it is consistent that there is a compact Hausdorff space $K_{2n}$ such that in $C(K_{2n})$ there is no uncountable (semi)biorthogonal sequence $(f_\xi,\mu_\xi)_{\xi\in \omega_1}$ where $\mu_\xi$'s are…
