This paper surveys some of the late Nigel Kalton's contributions to Banach space theory. The paper is written for the Nigel Kalton Memorial Website http://mathematics.missouri.edu/kalton/, which is scheduled to go online in summer 2011.
This book discusses the interactions between the (nonlinear) metric structure of Banach spaces and their linear asymptotic behavior. The overarching problem is to understand how the various linear structures of a Banach space are preserved…
In the nonlinear geometry of Banach spaces where the objects in the category are Banach spaces as in the linear case, the morphisms in the new setting are taken to comprise of certain nonlinear maps involving say, Lipschitz maps and, in…
The aim of this paper is to review the state-of-the-art of recent research concerning the numerical index of Banach spaces, by presenting some of the results found in the last years and proposing a number of related open problems.
The paper alluded to in the title contains the following striking result: Let $I$ be the unit interval and $\Delta$ the Cantor set. If $X$ is a quasi Banach space containing no copy of $c_0$ which is isomorphic to a closed subspace of a…
A nonlinear equation in a Banach space is written as a linear equation with a linear operator depending on the unknown solution. This method, which we call a global linearization method, differs essentially from the local linearization…
The linear isometries between weighted Banach spaces of continuous functions are considered. Some of well known theorems on isometries between spaces of continuous functions are proved and stated, but all they are in an appropriate form. In…
We introduce a new notion of embeddability between Banach spaces. By studying the classical Mazur map, we show that it is strictly weaker than the notion of coarse embeddability. We use the techniques from metric cotype introduced by M.…
If a separable Banach space contains an isometric copy of every separable reflexive Fr\'echet smooth Banach space, then it contains an isometric copy of every separable Banach space. The same conclusion holds if we consider separable Banach…
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.…
The article presents a description of geometry of Banach structures forming mathematical base of markets arbitrage absence type phenomena. In this connection the role of reflexive subspaces (replacing classically considered…
It is well known that fixed point problems of contractive-type mappings defined on cone metric spaces over Banach algebras are not equivalent to those in usual metric spaces (see [3] and [10]). In this framework, the novelty of the present…
This is the fourth of a series of papers surveying some small part of the remarkable work of our friend and colleague Nigel Kalton. We have written it as part of a tribute to his memory. It contains almost no new results. This time we…
The purpose of the current paper is to introduce some new methods for studying the $p$-adic Banach spaces introduced by Emerton \cite{emerton}. We first relate these spaces to more familiar sheaf cohomology groups. As an application, we…
The first named author introduced the notion of upper stability for metric spaces as a relaxation of stability. The motivation was a search for a new invariant to distinguish the class of reflexive Banach spaces from stable metric spaces in…
This paper addresses the study and characterizations of variational convexity of extended-real-valued functions on Banach spaces. This notion has been recently introduced by Rockafellar, and its importance has been already realized and…
We survey selected developments in the metric geometry of the space of K\"ahler metrics, emphasizing results from the past decade, highlighting open problems along the way.
We analyse several examples of separable Banach spaces, some of them new, and relate them to several dichotomies obtained in the previous paper Banach spaces without minimal subspaces, by classifying them according to which side of the…
We obtain sharp approximation results for into nearisometries between Lp spaces and nearisometries into a Hilbert space. Our main theorem is the optimal approximation result for nearsurjective nearisometries between general Banach spaces.
Nonlinear analysis has played a prominent role in the recent developments in geometry and topology. The study of the Yang-Mills equation and its cousins gave rise to the Donaldson invariants and more recently, the Seiberg-Witten invariants.…
