It is proved that the relation of isomorphism between separable Banach spaces is a complete analytic equivalence relation, i.e., that any analytic equivalence relation Borel reduces to it. Thus, separable Banach spaces up to isomorphism…

We give sufficient conditions for a metric space to bilipschitz embed in L_1. In particular, if X is a length space and there is a Lipschitz map u:X--->R such that for every interval I in R, the connected components of the inverse image…

We show that there exists a separable reflexive Banach space into which every separable uniformly convex Banach space isomorphically embeds. This solves a problem of J. Bourgain. We also give intrinsic characterizations of separable…

We prove a Rademacher-type theorem for Lipschitz mappings from a subset of a Carnot group to a Banach homogeneous group, equipped with a suitably weakened Radon-Nikodym property. We provide a metric area formula that applies to these…

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 introduce the notions of almost Lipschitz embeddability and nearly isometric embeddability. We prove that for $p\in [1,\infty]$, every proper subset of $L_p$ is almost Lipschitzly embeddable into a Banach space $X$ if and only if $X$…

Banach spaces without the Radon-Nikod\'ym property are characterized as spaces containing bilipschitz images of thick families of geodesics defined as follows. A family $T$ of geodesics joining points $u$ and $v$ in a metric space is called…

The aim of this note is study the topology generated by Lipschitz slices in the unit sphere of a Banach space. We prove that the above topology agrees with the weak topology in the unit sphere and, as a consequence, we obtain Lipschitz…

We show in this paper that every bijective linear isometry between the continuous section spaces of two non-square Banach bundles gives rise to a Banach bundle isomorphism. This is to support our expectation that the geometric structure of…

We prove a version of the Lebesgue Differentiation Theorem for mappings that are defined on a measure space and take values into a metric space, with respect to the differentiation basis induced by a von Neumann lifting. As a consequence,…

There are several characterizations of coarse embeddability of a discrete metric space into a Hilbert space. In this note we give such characterizations for general metric spaces. By applying these results to the spaces $L_p(\mu)$, we get…

We address the following question: what is the class of Banach spaces isomorphic to subspaces of indecomposable Banach spaces? We show that this class includes all Banach spaces of density not bigger than the continuum which do not admit…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a Banach space $X$ having the Radon-Nikod\'{y}m property in terms of polynomial spline sequences.

It is proved that for every compact metric space $K$ there exists a Banach space $X$ whose Calkin algebra $\mathcal{L}(X)/\mathcal{K}(X)$ is homomorphically isometric to $C(K)$. This is achieved by appropriately modifying the…

In this note the following is proved. Separable L-embedded spaces - that is separable Banach spaces which are complemented in their biduals such that the norm between the two complementary subspaces is additive - have property (X) which, by…

We characterize Banach spaces with polynomial numerical index 1 when they have the Radon-Nikod\'ym property. The holomorphic numerical index is introduced and the characterization of the Banach space with holomorphic numerical index 1 is…

Given a category of objects, it is both useful and important to know if all the objects in the category may be realised as sub-objects -- via morphisms in the given category -- of a single object in that category enjoying some nice…

We study the properties of "generic", in the sense of the Haar measure on the corresponding Grassmann manifold, subspaces of l^N_infinity of given dimension. We prove that every "well bounded" operator on such a subspace, say E, is a…

We show that, as conjectured by Adrien Douady back in 1972, every complete metric space is homeomorphic (moreover, isometric) to the locus of zeros of an analytic map between two Banach spaces. As a corollary, a paracompact topological…

Improving a result of M. Talagrand, under the assumption of a weak form of Martin's axiom, we construct a totally disconnected compact Hausdorff space $K$ such that the Banach space $C(K)$ of continuous real-valued functions on $K$ is a…
