We investigate properties of quasihyperbolic balls and geodesics in Euclidean and Banach spaces. Our main result is that in uniformly smooth Banach spaces a quasihyperbolic ball of a convex domain is $C^1$-smooth. The question about the…

In this note, we study the geometry of the unit ball of the Banach space generated by the adequate family of all subsets of branches of the infinite binary tree, and answer several open questions related to slicely countably determined…

We investigate a relations of almost isometric embedding and almost isometry between metric spaces and prove that with respect to these relations: (1) There is a countable universal metric space. (2) There may exist fewer than continuum…

We investigate for a bounded semigroup of linear operators $S$ on a Banach space $E$ and a vector $x \in E$, when relative compactness of $S(I-T)x$ for every $T \in S$ implies relative compactness of the orbit $Sx$. In particular, we derive…

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First we study a class of Banach manifolds which are not differentiable in traditional sense but they are quasi-differentiable in the sense that a such Banach manifold has an embedded submanifold such…

Having been unclear how to define that a domain is strictly pseudoconvex in the infinite-dimensional setting, we develop a general theory having Banach spaces in mind. We first focus on finite dimension and eliminate the need of two degrees…

We present selected known results and some of their improvements, involving Gurarii spaces. A Banach space is Gurarii if it has certain natural extension property for almost isometric embeddings of finite-dimensional spaces. Deleting the…

The main objective of this article is to provide an alternative approach to the central result of [Eldred, A. Anthony, Kirk, W. A., Veeramani, P., Proximal normal structure and relatively nonexpansive mappings, Studia Math., vol 171(3),…

To any metric space it is possible to associate the cardinal invariant corresponding to the least number of rectifiable curves in the space whose union is not meagre. It is shown that this invariant can vary with the metric space…

We introduce the notions of almost Lipschitz embeddability and nearly isometric embeddability. We prove that for $p\in [1,\infty]$, every proper subset of $L_p$ is almost Lipschitzly embeddable into a Banach space $X$ if and only if $X$…

We study the best coapproximation problem in Banach spaces, by using Birkhoff-James orthogonality techniques. We introduce two special types of subspaces, christened the anti-coproximinal subspaces and the strongly anti-coproximinal…

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…

An example of an infinite dimensional and separable Banach space is given, that is not isomorphic to a subspace of l1 with no infinite equilateral sets.

We extend the (attaining of) strong diameter two property to infinite cardinals. In particular, a Banach space has the 1-norming attaining strong diameter two property with respect to $\omega$ (1-ASD2P$_\omega$ for short) if every convex…

We establish a general criterion for the existence of convex sets of fixed shape as, e.g., balls of a given radius, of maximal probability on Banach spaces. We also provide counterexamples showing that their existence my fail even in some…

It is shown that a separable Banach space $X$ can be given an equivalent norm $|\!|\!|\cdot |\!|\!|$ with the following properties:\quad If $(x_n)\subseteq X$ is relatively weakly compact and $\lim_{m\to\infty} \lim_{n\to\infty}\break…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a class of Banach spaces and let $T=\{T_\alpha\}_{\alpha\in A}$ be a set of metric spaces. We say that $T$ is a set of {\it test-spaces} for $\mathcal{P}$ if the following two conditions are equivalent: (1)…

We prove various results on the size and structure of subsets of vector spaces over finite fields which, in some sense, have too many mutually orthogonal pairs of vectors. In particular, we obtain sharp finite field variants of a theorem of…

Let $X$ be a separable nonquasireflexive Banach space. Let $Y$ be a Banach space isomorphic to a subspace of $X^*$. The paper is devoted to the following questions: 1. Under what conditions does there exist an isomorphic embedding $T:Y\to…

We characterize the relatively compact subsets of $L^1\left(\| m \| \right),$ the quasi-Banach function space associated to the semivariation of a given vector measure $m$ showing that the strong connection between compactness, uniform…
