We give a description of finite-dimensional real neutral strongly facially symmetric spaces with the property JP. We also prove that if \(Z\) is a real neutral strongly facially symmetric with an unitary tripotents, then the space \(Z\) is…

We describe strongly facially symmetric spaces which are isometrically isomorphic to L$_1$-space.

We describe the isometry group of $L^2(\Omega, M)$ for Riemannian manifolds $M$ of dimension at least two with irreducible universal cover. We establish a rigidity result for the isometries of these spaces: any isometry arises from an…

The Urysohn universal metric space U is characterized up to isometry by the following properties: (1) U is complete and separable; (2) U contains an isometric copy of every separable metric space; (3) every isometry between two finite…

Let $(\Omega_i,\mathcal A_i,\mu_i) $ be a measure space with finite measure $\mu_i$, and let $(L_{\log}(\Omega_i, \mathcal A_i,\mu_i), \|\cdot\|_{\log,\mu_i})$ be a $F$-space of all $\log$-integrable functions on $(\Omega_i,\mathcal…

A topological space $X$ is called strongly $\sigma$-metrizable if $X=\bigcup_{n\in\omega}X_n$ for an increasing sequence $(X_n)_{n\in\omega}$ of closed metrizable subspaces such that every convergence sequence in $X$ is contained in some…

We study geometric properties of GL-spaces. We demonstrate that every finite-dimensional GL-space is polyhedral; that in dimension 2 there are only two, up to isometry, GL-spaces, namely the space whose unit sphere is a square (like…

We determine the homeomorphism type of the space of smooth complete nonnegatively curved metrics on surfaces of positive Euler characteristic equipped with the topology of $C^\gamma$ uniform convergence on compact sets, when $\gamma$ is…

$\Gamma$-symmetric spaces are a vast generalization of symmetric spaces. Previous results make it conceivable that their isotropy action is equivariantly formal, and we provide evidence for this in case that $\Gamma =…

We consider rigidity properties of compact symmetric spaces $X$ with metric $g_0$ of rank one. Suppose $g$ is another Riemannian metric on $X$ with sectional curvature $\kappa$ bounded by $0 \leq \kappa \leq 1$. If $g$ equals $g_0$ outside…

We prove that the isoperimetric constant is positive for all symmetric spaces of noncompact type and compute it explicitly.

This paper shows that every totally-geodesic isometry from the unit disk to a finite-dimensional Teichm\"uller space for the intrinsic Kobayashi metric is either holomorphic or anti-holomorphic; in particular, it is a Teichm\"uller disk.…

We associate to any Riemannian symmetric space (of finite or infinite dimension) a L$^*$-algebra, under the assumption that the curvature operator has a fixed sign. L$^*$-algebras are Lie algebras with a pleasant Hilbert space structure.…

We investigate certain geometric properties of the spaces of idempotent measures. In particular, we prove that the space of idempotent measures on an infinite compact metric space is homeomorphic to the Hilbert cube.

We prove that the Lipschitz-free space over a countable proper metric space is isometric to a dual space and has the metric approximation property. We also show that the Lipschitz-free space over a proper ultrametric space is isometric to…

Let $\mathcal{M}(\Omega, \mu)$ denote the algebra of all scalar-valued measurable functions on a measure space $(\Omega, \mu)$. Let $B \subset \mathcal{M}(\Omega, \mu)$ be a set of finitely supported measurable functions such that the…

We study metric spaces that admit a conical bicombing and thus obey a weak form of non-positive curvature. Prime examples of such spaces are injective metric spaces. In this article we give a complete characterization of complete metric…

The space of positively curved hermitian metrics on a positive holomorphic line bundle over a compact complex manifold is an infinite-dimensional symmetric space. It is shown by Phong and Sturm that geodesics in this space can be uniformly…

Let $(\Omega,\mu)$ be a $\sigma$-finite measure space. Given a Banach space $X$, let the symbol $S(X)$ stand for the unit sphere of $X$. We prove that the space $L^{\infty} (\Omega,\mu)$ of all complex-valued measurable essentially bounded…
