The question which led to the title of this note is the following: {\it If $X$ is a Banach space and $K$ is a compact subset of $X$, is it possible to find a compact, or even approximable, operator $v:X\to X$ such that…

In addition to Pisier's counterexample of a non-accessible maximal Banach ideal, we will give a large class of maximal Banach ideals which {\it{are accessible}}. The first step is implied by the observation that a "good behaviour" of trace…

We prove that every Banach space containing a subspace isomorphic to $\co$ fails the fixed point property. The proof is based on an amalgamation approach involving a suitable combination of known results and techniques, including James's…

Let $\mathcal{L}(X;Y)$ be the space of bounded linear operators from a Banach space $X$ to a Banach space $Y$. Given an operator-valued function $u:\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}\rightarrow \mathcal{L}(X;Y)$, suppose that every orbit $t\mapsto u(t)x$…

We consider BMO spaces of operator-valued functions, among them the space of operator-valued functions $B$ which define a bounded paraproduct on $L^2(H)$. We obtain several equivalent formulations of $\|\pi_B\|$ in terms of the norm of the…

We prove an optimal result of stability under $\ell_p$-sums of some concentration properties for Lipschitz maps defined on Hamming graphs into Banach spaces. As an application, we give examples of spaces with Szlenk index arbitrarily high…

Lifting properties for Banach spaces are studied. An alternate version of the lifting property due to Lindenstrass and Tzafriri is proposed and a characterization, up to isomorphism, is given. The quotient lifting property for pairs of…

It is shown that if a Banach space X has the weak Banach-Saks property and the weak fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings and Y satisfies property asymptotic (P) (which is weaker than the condition WCS(Y)>1), then the direct sum of…

Spatially distributed networks of large size arise in a variety of science and engineering problems, such as wireless sensor networks and smart power grids. Most of their features can be described by properties of their state-space matrices…

We refine the well-known Blanco-Koldobsky-Turn\v{s}ek Theorem which states that a norm one linear operator defined on a Banach space is an isometry if and only if it preserves orthogonality at every element of the space. We improve the…

The following result was announced in the earlier version(s) of this paper: On weakly compactly generated Banach spaces which admit a Lipschitz, C^{p} smooth bump function, one can uniformly approximate uniformly continuous, bounded,…

We prove that if $Y$ is a closed subspace of a Banach space $X$ such that $Y$ and $X/Y$ admit an equivalent asymptotically uniformly smooth norm, then $X$ also admits an equivalent asymptotically uniformly smooth norm. The proof is based on…

In this paper, we introduce a new class of subsets of bounded linear operators between Banach spaces which is p-version of the uniformly completely continuous sets. Then, we study the relationship between these sets with the equicompact…

We show that if a Banach space X has the weak fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings and Y has the generalized Gossez-Lami Dozo property or is uniformly convex in every direction, then the direct sum of X and Y with a strictly…

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…

We characterise those Banach spaces $X$ which satisfy that $L(Y,X)$ is octahedral for every non-zero Banach space $Y$. They are those satisfying that, for every finite dimensional subspace $Z$, $\ell_\infty$ can be finitely-representable in…

Let $1\leq p\leq q\leq\infty.$ Being motivated by the classical notions of the Gelfand--Phillips property and the (coarse) Gelfand--Phillips property of order $p$ of Banach spaces, we introduce and study different types of the…

We investigate the interplay among three key properties of bounded linear operators between Banach spaces: the Bhatia-\v{S}emrl property, strong subdifferentiability and the condition that the essential norm is strictly less than the…

We study Birkhoff-James orthogonality and its local symmetry in some sequence spaces namely $\ell_p,$ for $1\leq p\leq\infty$, $p\neq2$, $c$, $c_0$ and $c_{00}$. Using the characterization of the local symmetry of Birkhoff-James…

A pair of Banach spaces $(E, F)$ is said to have the weak maximizing property (WMP, for short) if for every bounded linear operator $T$ from $E$ into $F$, the existence of a non-weakly null maximizing sequence for $T$ implies that $T$…
