The aim of this note is to complement and extend some recent results on Whitley's indices of thinness and thickness in three main directions. Firstly, we investigate both the indices when forming $\ell_p$-sums of Banach spaces, and obtain…

We introduce a new isomorphic quantity for Banach spaces, the index $\Theta_X$, based on finite convex coverings of the unit ball. This index is closely related to the asymptotic moduli of uniform convexity and uniform smoothness, so that…

We study the linear polarization constants of finite dimensional Banach spaces. We obtain the correct asymptotic behaviour of these constants for the spaces $\ell_p^d$: they behave as $\sqrt[p]{d}$ if $1\le p\le 2$ and as $\sqrt{d}$ if…

We discuss construction of coverings of the unit ball of a finite dimensional Banach space. The well known technique of comparing volumes gives upper and lower bounds on covering numbers. This technique does not provide a construction of…

We study some properties of the randomized series and their applications to the geometric structure of Banach spaces. For $n\ge 2$ and $1<p<\infty$, it is shown that $\ell_\infty^n$ is representable in a Banach space $X$ if and only if it…

The new class of Banach spaces, so-called asymptotic $l_p$ spaces, is introduced and it is shown that every Banach space with bounded distortions contains a subspace from this class. The proof is based on an investigation of certain…

We investigate the problem of $L^p$-maximal regularity on Banach spaces having a Schauder basis. Our results improve those of a recent paper.

We give a positive solution for the hyperplane conjecture of quotient spaces F of $L_p$, where $1<p\kll\infty$. \[ vol(B_F)^{\frac{n-1}{n}} \kl c_0 \pl p' \pl \sup_{H \p hyperplane} vol(B_F\cap H) \pl.\] This result is extended to Banach…

We characterize $k-$smoothness of an element on the unit sphere of a finite-dimensional polyhedral Banach space. Then we study $k-$smoothness of an operator $T \in \mathbb{L}(\ell_{\infty}^n,\mathbb{Y}),$ where $\mathbb{Y}$ is a…

We give an explicit computation of the Banach envelope for the Paley-Wiener type spaces $E^p, 0<p<1$. This answers a question by Joel Shapiro.

It is shown that every Banach space either contains $\ell ^1$ or it has an infinite dimensional closed subspace which is a quotient of a H.I. Banach space.Further on, $L^p(\lambda )$, $1<p<\infty $, is a quotient of a H.I Banach space.

In this paper structure of infinite dimensional Banach spaces is studied by using an asymptotic approach based on stabilization at infinity of finite dimensional subspaces which appear everywhere far away. This leads to notions of…

In this paper, we investigate the geometric properties of the variable mixed Lebesgue-sequence space $\ell^{q(\cdot)} (L^{p(\cdot)})$ as a Banach space. We show that, if $ 1<q_-,p_-,q_+,p_+<\infty $, then $\ell^{q(\cdot)} (L^{p(\cdot)})$ is…

In this paper, we study Auerbach basis of the Banach spaces $l^n_p$. We provide a complete classification of the spaces in terms of the cardinality of their bases. We also give a complete description of these bases for $l^3_p$ ($l^2_p$ is…

We characterise the class of those Banach spaces in which every convex combination of slices of the unit ball intersects the unit sphere as the class of those spaces in which every convex combination of slices of the unit ball contains two…

We characrterize extreme contractions defined between \ finite-dimensional polyhedral Banach spaces using $k$- smoothness of operators. We also explore weak L-P property, a recently introduced concept in the study of extreme contractions.…

We study a local version of the ball-covering problem in Banach spaces, and obtain a complete solution to it in terms of the norm derivatives. We illustrate the advantage of the local approach by obtaining substantial refinements of several…

We introduce the concept of weak L-P property for a pair of Banach spaces, in the study of extreme contractions. We give examples of pairs of Banach spaces (not) satisfying weak L-P property and apply the concept to compute the exact number…

Given a continuous, radial, rapidly decreasing weight $v$ on the complex plane $\mathbf{C}$, we study the solid hull of its associated weighted space $H_v^\infty(\mathbf{C})$ of all the entire functions $f$ such that $v|f|$ is bounded. The…

We discuss the geometry of Banach spaces whose norm is octahedral or, more generally, locally or weakly octahedral. Our main results characterize these spaces in terms of covering of the unit ball.
