We prove that the Lipschitz-free space over a doubling metric space has the bounded approximation property. We also show that the Lipschitz-free spaces over $\ell_1^N$ or $\ell_1$ have monotone finite-dimensional Schauder decompositions.

Following up on previous work, we prove a number of results for C*-algebras with the weak ideal property or topological dimension zero, and some results for C*-algebras with related properties. Some of the more important results include:…

In this article we prove that every isometric copy of C(L) in C(K) is complemented if L is compact Hausdorff of finite height and K is a compact Hausdorff space satisfying the extension property, i.e., every closed subset of K admits an…

We prove that the locally convex space $C_{p}(X)$ of continuous real-valued functions on a Tychonoff space $X$ equipped with the topology of pointwise convergence is distinguished if and only if $X$ is a $\Delta$-space in the sense of \cite…

We say that a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ satisfies the similarity property ((SP)) if every bounded homomorphism $u\colon \mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{B}(\mathit{H})$, where $\mathit{H}$ is a Hilbert space, is similar to a $*$-homomorphism. We…

In this paper we consider piecewise linear (pl) isometric embeddings of Euclidean polyhedra into Euclidean space. A Euclidean polyhedron is just a metric space $\mathcal{P}$ which admits a triangulation $\mathcal{T}$ such that each…

It is well-known that the generalized Auslander-Reiten condition (GARC) and the symmetric Auslander condition (SAC) are equivalent, and (GARC) implies that the Auslander-Reiten condition (ARC). In this paper we explore (SAC) along with the…

We define and study asymptotically symmetric Banach spaces (a.s.) and its variations: weakly a.s. (w.a.s.) and weakly normalized a.s. (w.n.a.s.). If X is a.s. then all spreading models of X are uniformly symmetric. We show that the converse…

We set up a descriptive set-theoretic framework to study Lipschitz-free spaces and use the reduction argument of Bossard to prove several results. We prove two universality results: if a separable Banach space is isomorphically universal…

We investigate the failure of the Stone-Weierstrass theorem focusing on the existence of large dimensional vector spaces within the set $\mathcal{C}(L, \mathbb{K}) \setminus \overline{\mathcal{A}}$, where $L$ is a compact Hausdorff space…

Metric spaces of generalized roundness zero have interesting non-embedding properties. For instance, we note that no metric space of generalized roundness zero is isometric to any metric subspace of any $L_{p}$-space for which $0 < p \leq…

In this paper we generalize a result in [1], showing that an arbitrary Riemannian symmetric space can be realized as a closed submanifold of a covering group of the Lie group defining the symmetric space. Some properties of the subgroups of…

We present examples of metric spaces that are not Riemannian manifolds nor dimensionally homogeneous that satisfy the Tetrahedral Property. In spite of that, Euclidean cones over metric spaces with small diameter do not satisfy this…

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…

If $X$ is compact metrizable and has finite fd-height then the unit interval, $I$, $\ell$-dominates $X$, in other words, there is a continuous linear map of $C_p(I)$ onto $C_p(X)$. If the unit interval $\ell$-dominates a space $X$ then $X$…

This is a survey article of geometric properties of noncommutative symmetric spaces of measurable operators $E(\mathcal{M},\tau)$, where $\mathcal{M}$ is a semifinite von Neumann algebra with a faithful, normal, semifinite trace $\tau$, and…

We prove a version of Poincar\'e's polyhedron theorem whose requirements are as local as possible. New techniques such as the use of discrete groupoids of isometries are introduced. The theorem may have a wide range of applications and can…

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…

Given two parallelisms of a projective space we describe a construction, called blending, that yields a (possibly new) parallelism of this space. For a projective double space $(\mathbb{P},\parallel_\ell,\parallel_r)$ over a quaternion skew…

Let $X$ be a Polish space, $d$ a pseudo-metric on $X$. If $\{(u,v):d(u,v)<\delta\}$ is ${\bf\Pi}^1_1$ for each $\delta>0$, we show that either $(X,d)$ is separable or there are $\delta>0$ and a perfect set $C\subseteq X$ such that…
