We prove that any convex-like structure in the sense of Nate Brown is affinely and isometrically isomorphic to a closed convex subset of a Banach space. This answers an open question of Brown. As an intermediate step, we identify Brown's…

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…

For an $(n\ge 2)$-dimensional real Banach space $E$ with unit ball $E_{\le 1}$ and a topological space $X$ arbitrary elements in $C(X,E_{\le 1})$ are always expressible as linear combinations of at most three functions valued in the unit…

We single out and study a natural class of Banach spaces -- almost square Banach spaces. In an almost square space we can find, given a finite set $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_N$ in the unit sphere, a unit vector $y$ such that $\|x_i-y\|$ is almost…

We introduce a notion of a topologically flat locally convex module, which extends the notion of a flat Banach module and which is well adapted to the nonmetrizable setting (and especially to the setting of DF-modules). By using this…

We consider smooth moduli spaces of semistable vector bundles of fixed rank and determinant on a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus at least $3$. The choice of a Poincar\'e bundle for such a moduli space $M$ induces an isomorphism between…

These notes concern the nonlinear geometry of Banach spaces, asymptotic uniform smoothness and several Banach-Saks-like properties. We study the existence of certain concentration inequalities in asymptotically uniformly smooth Banach…

In this paper, we study the coarse Lipschitz geometry of Banach spaces with several asymptotic properties. Specifically, we look at asymptotically uniformly smoothness and convexity, and several distinct Banach-Saks-like properties. Among…

We consider a definition of a weakly convex set which is a generalization of the notion of a weakly convex set in the sense of Vial and a proximally smooth set in the sense of Clarke, from the case of the Hilbert space to a class of Banach…

We prove the symmetric version of Kottman's theorem, that is to say, we demonstrate that the unit sphere of an infinite-dimensional Banach space contains an infinite subset $A$ with the property that $\|x\pm y\| > 1$ for distinct elements…

We construct a nonseparable Banach space $\mathcal X$ (actually, of density continuum) such that any uncountable subset $\mathcal Y$ of the unit sphere of $\mathcal X$ contains uncountably many points distant by less than $1$ (in fact, by…

We show that if $X$ is a Banach space whose dual $X^{*}$ has an equivalent locally uniformly rotund (LUR) norm, then for every open convex $U\subseteq X$, for every $\varepsilon >0$, and for every continuous and convex function $f:U…

In this paper, we present sharp stability results for various reverse isoperimetric problems in $\mathbb R^2$. Specifically, we prove the stability of the reverse isoperimetric inequality for $\lambda$-convex bodies -- convex bodies with…

We show that norms on certain Banach spaces $X$ can be approximated uniformly, and with arbitrary precision, on bounded subsets of $X$ by $C^{\infty}$ smooth norms and polyhedral norms. In particular, we show that this holds for any…

We prove that, under rather general conditions, the 1-cohomology of a von Neumann algebra $M$ with values in a Banach $M$-bimodule satisfying a combination of smoothness and operatorial conditions, vanishes. For instance, we show that if…

We present an isometric version of the complementably universal Banach space $\mathcal{B}$ with a monotone Schauder basis. The space $\mathcal{B}$ is isomorphic to Pe{\l}czy\'nski's space with a universal basis as well as to Kadec'…

We present some extensions of classical results that involve elements of the dual of Banach spaces, such as Bishop-Phelp's theorem and James' compactness theorem, but restricting to sets of functionals determined by geometrical properties.…

In this paper we develop two types of tools to deal with differentiability properties of vectors in continuous representations $\pi \: G \to \GL(V)$ of an infinite dimensional Lie group $G$ on a locally convex space $V$. The first class of…

In this article we address a number of features of the moduli space of spherical metrics on connected, compact, orientable surfaces with conical singularities of assigned angles, such as its non-emptiness and connectedness. We also consider…

Very flat and contradjusted modules naturally arise in algebraic geometry in the study of contraherent cosheaves over schemes. Here, we investigate the structure and approximation properties of these modules over commutative noetherian…
