We show that for "most" compact non metrizable spaces, the unit ball of the Banach space C(K) contains an uncountable 2-equilateral set. We also give examples of compact non metrizable spaces K such that the minimum cardinality of a maximal…

We show that complemented subspaces of uncountable products of Banach spaces are products of complemented subspaces of countable subproducts.

We consider problems concerning the partial order structure of the set of spreading models of Banach spaces. We construct examples of spaces showing that the possible structure of these sets include certain classes of finite semi-lattices…

This thesis addresses Pour-El and Richards' fourth question from their book "Computability in analysis and physics", concerning the relation between higher order recursion theory and computability in analysis. Among other things it is shown…

A Banach space E is c_0-saturated if every closed infinite dimensional subspace of E contains an isomorph of c_0. A c_0-saturated Banach space with an unconditional basis which has a quotient space isomorphic to l^2 is constructed.

We give a criterion ensuring that the elementary class of a modular Banach space E (that is, the class of Banach spaces, some ultrapower of which is linearly isometric to an ultrapower of E) consists of all direct sums E\oplus_m H, where H…

We study properties of representing and absolutely representing systems of subspaces in Banach spaces. We also present sufficient conditions for the system of subspaces to be a representing system of subspaces.

We introduce and study the notion of overcomplete set in a Banach space, that subsumes and extends the classical concept of overcomplete sequence in a (separable) Banach space. We give existence and non-existence results of overcomplete…

We furnish a simple way of constructing an unbounded closed linear operator in a complex Banach space, whose spectrum is an arbitrary nonempty closed, in particular compact, subset of the complex plane.

Necessary and sufficient conditions for a separable Banach space to be a dual space are proved. Some applications are discussed

A Banach space contains either a minimal subspace or a continuum of incomparable subspaces. General structure results for analytic equivalence relations are applied in the context of Banach spaces to show that if $E_0$ does not reduce to…

Let $X$ be a Banach space. We prove that, for a large class of Banach or quasi-Banach spaces $E$ of $X$-valued sequences, the sets $E-\bigcup _{q\in\Gamma}\ell_{q}(X)$, where $\Gamma$ is any subset of $(0,\infty]$, and $E-c_{0}(X)$ contain…

We answer in the affirmative the surprisingly difficult questions: If a complex Banach space possesses a real predual X, then is X a complex Banach space? If a complex Banach space possesses a real predual, then does it have a complex…

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…

A family is constructed of cardinality equal to the continuum, whose members are totally incomparable, reflexive, hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces.

It is shown that any Banach space X of sufficiently large density contains an (infinite) unconditional sequence and a separable quotient. If a density of X is a weakly compact cardinal, then X contains an unconditional sequence of…

We give a complete description of the structure of the connected components of the general linear group of a real hereditarily indecomposable Banach space, depending on the existence of complex structures on the space itself and on its…

We investigate the following general problem, closely related to the problem of isomorphic classification of Banach spaces $C(K)$ of continuous real-valued functions on a compact space $K$, equipped with the supremum norm: Let $\mathcal{K}$…

In this note we study the structure of Lipschitz-free Banach spaces. We show that every Lipschitz-free Banach space over an infinite metric space contains a complemented copy of $\ell_1$. This result has many consequences for the structure…

Several new characterizations of the Gelfand-Phillips property are given. We define a strong version of the Gelfand-Phillips property and prove that a Banach space has this stronger property iff it embeds into $c_0$. For an infinite compact…
