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…

Quasi-invariant and pseudo-differentiable measures on a Banach space $X$ over a non-Archimedean locally compact infinite field with a non-trivial valuation are defined and constructed. Measures are considered with values in $\bf R$.…

We prove that, if Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ are $\delta$-average rough, then their direct sum with respect to an absolute norm $N$ is $\delta/N(1,1)$-average rough. In particular, for octahedral $X$ and $Y$ and for $p$ in $(1,\infty)$ the…

A closed subspace of a Banach space $\cX$ is almost-invariant for a collection $\cS$ of bounded linear operators on $\cX$ if for each $T \in \cS$ there exists a finite-dimensional subspace $\cF_T$ of $\cX$ such that $T \cY \subseteq \cY +…

The main results of the paper: {\bf (1)} The dual Banach space $X^*$ contains a linear subspace $A\subset X^*$ such that the set $A^{(1)}$ of all limits of weak$^*$ convergent bounded nets in $A$ is a proper norm-dense subset of $X^*$ if…

Let $k$ be a complete valuation field. We formulate a free Banach $k$-vector space as a Banach $k$-vector space with an orthonormal Schauder basis, and an almost free Banach $k$-vector space as a non-Archimedean analogue of an almost free…

We present quasi-Banach spaces which are closely related to the duals of combinatorial Banach spaces. More precisely, for a compact family $\mathcal{F}$ of finite subsets of $\omega$ we define a quasi-norm $\lVert \cdot \rVert^\mathcal{F}$…

The maximal roundness of a metric space is a quantity that arose in the study of embeddings and renormings. In the setting of Banach spaces, it was shown by Enflo that roundness takes on a much simpler form. In this paper we provide simple…

In this paper we study sufficient conditions for an operator to have an almost-invariant half-space. As a consequence, we show that if $X$ is an infinite-dimensional complex Banach space then every operator $T\in\mathcal{L}(X)$ admits an…

We deal with two natural examples of almost-elementary classes: the class of all Banach spaces (over R or C) and the class of all groups. We show both of these classes do not have the strict order property, and find the exact place of each…

It is shown that a Banach space with locally uniformly convex dual admits an equivalent norm which is itself locally uniformly convex. It follows that on any such space all continuous real-valued functions may be uniformly approximated by…

We focus on the presence of almost automorphy in strongly monotone skew-product semiflows on Banach spaces. Under the $C^1$-smoothness assumption, it is shown that any linearly stable minimal set must be almost automorphic. This extends the…

We study the relation between octahedral norms, Daugavet property and the size of convex combinations of slices in Banach spaces. We prove that the norm of an arbitrary Banach space is octahedral if, and only if, every convex combination of…

In the main result of the paper we extend Rosenthal's characterization of Banach spaces with the Schur property by showing that for a quasi-complete locally convex space $E$ whose separable bounded sets are metrizable the following…

A Banach space $X$ has the $Mazur$-$Ulam$ $property$ if any isometry from the unit sphere of $X$ onto the unit sphere of any other Banach space $Y$ extends to a linear isometry of the Banach spaces $X,Y$. A Banach space $X$ is called…

In the first part of the paper we study the structure of Banach spaces with a conditional spreading basis. The geometry of such spaces exhibit a striking resemblance to the geometry of James' space. Further, we show that the averaging…

If $X$ is an infinite-dimensional uniform algebra, if $X$ has the Daugavet property or if $X$ is a proper $M$-embedded space, every relatively weakly open subset of the unit ball of the Banach space $X$ is known to have diameter 2, i.e.,…

The purpose of this paper is to lay the foundations for the study of the problem of when $\Ext^n(X, Y)=0$ in Banach/quasi-Banach spaces. We provide a number of examples of couples $X,Y$ so that $\Ext^n(X,Y)$ is (or is not ) $0$, including…

We prove that any isometry between the unit spheres of $C^2$-smooth (more generally, absolutely smooth) smooth Banach spaces extends to a linear isometry of the Banach spaces. This answers the famous Tingley's problem in the class of…

This work is a thorough and detailed study on the geometry of the unit sphere of certain Banach spaces of homogeneous polynomials in ${\mathbb{R}}^2$. Specifically, we provide a complete description of the unit spheres, identify the extreme…
