We improve upon on a limit theorem for numerical index for large classes of Banach spaces including vector valued $\ell_p$-spaces and $\ell_p$-sums of Banach spaces where $1\leq p \leq \infty$. We first prove $ n_1(X) = \displaystyle \lim_m…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces such that the ideal of operators which factor through $Y$ has codimension one in the Banach algebra $\mathscr{B}(X)$ of all bounded operators on $X$, and suppose that $Y$ contains a complemented subspace…

In this note we show that every Banach space $X$ not containing $\ell_1^n$ uniformly and with unconditional basis contains an arbitrarily distortable subspace.

It is proved that if a Banach space $Y$ is a quotient of a Banach space having a shrinking unconditional basis, then every normalized weakly null sequence in $Y$ has an unconditional subsequence. The proof yields the corollary that every…

A Banach space $X$ is said to have the Daugavet property if every operator $T: X\to X$ of rank~$1$ satisfies $\|Id+T\| = 1+\|T\|$. We show that then every weakly compact operator satisfies this equation as well and that $X$ contains a copy…

The essence of the notion of lineability and spaceability is to find linear structures in somewhat chaotic environments. The existing methods, in general, use \textit{ad hoc} arguments and few general techniques are known. Motivated by the…

In this paper, we prove the following version of the famous Bernstein's theorem: Let $X\subset \mathbb R^{n+k}$ be a closed and connected set with Hausdorff dimension $n$. Assume that $X$ satisfies the monotonicity formula at $p\in X$.…

Given a Banach space $X$ and a real number $\alpha\ge 1$, we write: (1) $D(X)\le\alpha$ if, for any locally finite metric space $A$, all finite subsets of which admit bilipschitz embeddings into $X$ with distortions $\le C$, the space $A$…

We present a relatively simple inductive proof of the classical Levy-Steinitz Theorem saying that for a sequence $(x_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ in a finite-dimensional Banach space $X$ the set of all sums of rearranged series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty…

In this paper, we obtain a minimax theorem by means of which, in turn, we prove the following result: Let $E$ be an infinite-dimensional reflexive real Banach space, $T:E\to E$ a non-zero compact linear operator, $\varphi:E\to {\bf R}$ a…

In this article, we investigate the existence of closed vector subspaces (i.e.spaceability) in various nonlinear subsets of Orlicz-Lorentz spaces $\Lambda_{\varphi,w}$, equipped with the Luxemburg norm. If a family of Orlicz functions…

Let $X$ be a Banach space and suppose $Y\subseteq X$ is a Banach space compactly embedded into $X$, and $(a_k)$ is a weakly null sequence of functionals in $X^*$. Then there exists a sequence $\{\varepsilon_n\} \searrow 0$ such that…

It is shown that if (X,||.||_X) is a Banach space with Rademacher type p \ge 1, then for every integer n there exists an even integer m < Cn^{2-1/p}log n (C is an absolute constant), such that for every f:Z_m^n --> X, \Avg_{x,\e}[||f(x+…

For a Banach lattice $X$, its lattice Sch\"affer constant is defined by: \begin{gather*} \lambda^+(X)=\inf\{\max\{\|x+y\|,\|x-y\|\}\,\colon\,\|x\|=\|y\|=1,x,y\geq{\bf0}\}. \end{gather*} In this paper, we investigate this constant, as well…

Let $Q$ be an ideal (downward-closed set) in the lattice of linear subspaces of $(\mathbb F_q)^n$, ordered by inclusion. For $0 \le k \le n$, let $\mu_k(Q)$ denote the fraction of $k$-dimensional subspaces that belong to $Q$. We show that…

For a sequence of vectors $\{v_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ in the uniformly convex Banach space $X$ which for all $n, m\in \mathbb{N}$ satisfy $\|v_{n+m}\|\le \|v_n + v_m\|$ we show the existence of the limit $\lim_{n\to \infty} \frac{v_n}{n}$.…

Let $\rho(x)=x-[x]$, $\chi=\chi_{(0,1)}$. In $L_2(0,\infty)$ consider the subspace $\B$ generated by $\{\rho_a | a \geq 1\}$ where $\rho_a(x):=\rho(\frac{1}{ax})$. By the Nyman-Beurling criterion the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the…

We show that any Banach space contains a continuum of non isomorphic subspaces or a minimal subspace. We define an ergodic Banach space $X$ as a space such that $E_0$ Borel reduces to isomorphism on the set of subspaces of $X$, and show…

It is shown here that if $(Y,\|\cdot\|_Y)$ is a Banach space in which martingale differences are unconditional (a UMD Banach space) then there exists $c=c(Y)\in (0,\infty)$ with the following property. For every $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and…
