It is known that if $M$ is a finite-dimensional Banach space, or a strictly convex space, or the space $\ell_1$, then every non-expansive bijection $F: B_M \to B_M$ is an isometry. We extend these results to non-expansive bijections $F: B_E…

We prove some results on weakly almost square Banach spaces and their relatives. On the one hand, we discuss weak almost squareness in the setting of Banach function spaces. More precisely, let $(\Omega,\Sigma)$ be a measurable space, let…

In the first part Busemann concavity as non-negative curvature is introduced and a bi-Lipschitz splitting theorem is shown. Furthermore, if the Hausdorff measure of a Busemann concave space is non-trivial then the space is doubling and…

We consider local convexity properties of balls in the Apollonian and Seittenranta's metrics. Balls in the Apollonian metric are considered in the twice punctured space and starlike domains. Balls in Seittenranta's metric are considered in…

We construct an example of a real Banach space whose group of surjective isometries has no uniformly continuous one-parameter semigroups, but the group of surjective isometries of its dual contains infinitely many of them. Other examples…

We study two related quantities which generalize the concept of upper Banach density of a set to two measurable subsets of the plane. The first of them allows us to generalize a classic result on sufficiently large distances realized in a…

Using the game approach to fragmentability, we give new and simpler proofs of the following known results: (a) If the Banach space admits an equivalent Kadec norm, then its weak topology is fragmented by a metric which is stronger than the…

We prove that in a certain class E of nonseparable Banach spaces the norm topology of the dual ball is definable in terms of its weak* topology. Thus, any weak* homeomorphism between duals balls of spaces in E is automatically…

Spaces of homogeneous polynomials on a Banach space are frequently equipped with quasinorms instead of norms. In this paper we develop a technique to replace the original quasi-norm by a norm in a dual preserving way, in the sense that the…

We obtain a result in the spirit of the well-known W. Schachermeyer and H. P. Rosenthal research about the equivalence between Radon-Nikodym and Krein-Milman properties, by showing that, for closed, bounded and convex subsets C of a…

In this paper we survey known results of characterizations of reflexive Banach spaces, which are based on convergence of usual and generalized arithmetic mean (or Ces\`aro sum), weakly compact subsets, affine sets in a Banach space or its…

In this paper we deal with those Banach spaces $Z$ which satisfy the Mazur--Ulam property, namely that every surjective isometry $\Delta$ from the unit sphere of $Z$ to the unit sphere of any Banach space $Y$ admits an unique extension to a…

Johnson and Schechtman (2009) characterized superreflexivity in terms of finite diamond graphs. The present author characterized the Radon-Nikod\'ym property (RNP) for dual spaces in terms of the infinite diamond. This paper is devoted to…

We study classes of Banach spaces where the points of weak$^*$-weak continuity for the identity mapping on the dual unit ball form a weak$^*$-dense and weak$^*$-$G_{\delta}$ set. We also discuss how this property behaves in higher duals of…

We prove that if X is a separable infinite dimensional Banach space then its isomorphism class has infinite diameter with respect to the Banach-Mazur distance. One step in the proof is to show that if X is elastic then X contains an…

In this paper the theory of uniformly convex metric spaces is developed. These spaces exhibit a generalized convexity of the metric from a fixed point. Using a (nearly) uniform convexity property a simple proof of reflexivity is presented…

We continue to investigate cases when the Repov\v{s}-Semenov splitting problem for selections has an affirmative solution for continuous set-valued mappings. We consider the situation in infinite-dimensional uniformly convex Banach spaces.…

We study the class of Banach spaces $X$ such that the locally convex space $(X,\mu(X,Y))$ is complete for every norming and norm-closed subspace $Y \subset X^*$, where $\mu(X,Y)$ denotes the Mackey topology on $X$ associated to the dual…

We study the double iterated outer $L^p$ spaces, namely the outer $L^p$ spaces associated with three exponents and defined on sets endowed with a measure and two outer measures. We prove that in the case of finite sets, under certain…

Given a 2-dimensional surface M and a constant C we construct a Riemannian metric g, so that diameter diam(M,g)=1 and every 1-cycle dividing M into two regions of equal area has length >C. It follows that there exists no universal…
