The classical Banach--Mazur theorem asserts that every separable Banach space admits an isometric embedding into $C[0,1]$. It is also well known that every separable Banach space embeds isometrically into $\ell^\infty$. We show that such an…

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…

The paper contains the following results and observations: (1) There exists a sequence of unweighted graphs $\{G_n\}_n$ with maximum degree 3 such that a Banach space $X$ has no nontrivial cotype iff $\{G_n\}_n$ admit uniformly bilipschitz…

We prove that a continuous image of a Radon-Nikod\'ym compact space of weight less than b is Radon-Nikod\'ym compact. As a Banach space counterpart, subspaces of Asplund generated Banach spaces of density character less than b are Asplund…

In this paper I explain what is a pair of dilatation structures, one looking down to another. Such a pair of dilatation structures leads to the intrinsic definition of a distribution as a field of topological filters. To any pair of…

We study the $H^1$-projective Banach spaces. We prove that they have the Analytic Radon-Nikodym Property, and that they are cotype 2 spaces which satisfy Grothendieck's Theorem. We show also that the ultraproduct of $H^1$-projective spaces…

Assuming the generalized continuum hypothesis we construct arbitrarily big indecomposable Banach spaces. i.e., such that whenever they are decomposed as $X\oplus Y$, then one of the closed subspaces $X$ or $Y$ must be finite dimensional. It…

We study dentable maps from a closed convex subset of a Banach space into a metric space as an attempt of generalize the Radon-Nikod\'ym property to a "less linear" frame. We note that a certain part of the theory can be developed in rather…

These notes are dedicated to the study of the complexity of several classes of separable Banach spaces. We compute the complexity of the Banach-Saks property, the alternating Banach-Saks property, the complete continuous property, and the…

We find a class of metric structures which do not admit bilipschitz embeddings into Banach spaces with the Radon-Nikod\'ym property. Our proof relies on Chatterji's (1968) martingale characterization of the RNP and does not use the…

Using the method of forcing we prove that consistently there is a Banach space of continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space with the Grothendieck property and with density less than the continuum. It follows that the classical…

Following results of Bourgain and Gorelik we show that the spaces $\ell_p$, $1<p<\infty$, as well as some related spaces have the following uniqueness property: If $X$ is a Banach space uniformly homeomorphic to one of these spaces then it…

In his study of the Radon Nikod\'ym property of Banach spaces, Bourgain showed (among other things) that in any closed, bounded, convex set $A$ that is nondentable, one can find a separated, weakly closed bush. In this note, we prove a…

It is well known that every bounded below and non increasing sequence in the real line converges. We give a version of this result valid in Banach spaces with the Radon-Nikodym property, thus extending a former result of A. Proch\'azka.

We show that the dual of every infinite-dimensional Lipschitz-free Banach space contains an isometric copy of $\ell_\infty$ and that it is often the case that a Lipschitz-free Banach space contains a $1$-complemented subspace isometric to…

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 show that there exists a strong uniform embedding from any proper metric space into any Banach space without cotype. Then we prove a result concerning the Lipschitz embedding of locally finite subsets of $\mathcal{L}_{p}$-spaces. We use…

In this paper we provide several \emph{metric universality} results. We exhibit for certain classes $\cC$ of metric spaces, families of metric spaces $(M_i, d_i)_{i\in I}$ which have the property that a metric space $(X,d_X)$ in $\cC$ is…

We prove a structural property of the class of unconditionally saturated separable Banach spaces. We show, in particular, that for every analytic set $\aaa$, in the Effros-Borel space of subspaces of $C[0,1]$, of unconditionally saturated…

Let $(M,d)$ be a bounded countable metric space and $c>0$ a constant, such that $d(x,y)+d(y,z)-d(x,z) \ge c$, for any pairwise distinct points $x,y,z$ of $M$. For such metric spaces we prove that they can be isometrically embedded into any…
