For each ordinal $\xi$ and each $1<p<\infty$, we offer a natural, ismorphic characterization of those spaces and operators which admit an equivalent $\xi$-$p$-asymptotically uniformly smooth norm. We also introduce the notion of…

For each ordinal $\xi$, we define the notions of $\xi$-asymptotically uniformly smooth and $w^*$-$\xi$-asymptotically uniformly convex operators. When $\xi=0$, these extend the notions of asymptotically uniformly smooth and…

We provide a short characterization of $p$-asymptotic uniform smoothability and asymptotic uniform flatenability of operators and of Banach spaces. We use these characterizations to show that many asymptotic uniform smoothness properties…

For each ordinal $\xi$ and each $1\leqslant q<\infty$, we define the notion of $\xi$-$q$-summable Szlenk index. When $\xi=0$ and $q=1$, this recovers the usual notion of summable Szlenk index. We define for an arbitrary weak$^*$-compact set…

We define and discuss transfinite asymptotic notions of smoothability, type, and equal norm type. We prove distinctness of these notions for a proper class of ordinals and that each class is an ideal. We also extend some results of…

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…

We extend to the non separable setting many characterizations of the Banach spaces admitting an equivalent norm with the property $(\beta)$ of Rolewicz. These characterizations involve in particular the Szlenk index and asymptotically…

We introduce asymptotic analogues of the Rademacher and martingale type and cotype of Banach spaces and operators acting on them. Some classical local theory results related, for example, to the `automatic-type' phenomenon, the type-cotype…

We introduce a suitable notion of asymptotic smoothness on infinite dimensional Banach spaces, and we prove that, under some structural restrictions on the space, the convex envelope of an asymptotically smooth function is asymptotically…

We prove some rather precise renorming theorems for Banach spaces with Szlenk index $\omega_0$. We use these theorems to show the invariance of certain quantitative Szlenk-type indices under uniform homeomorphisms.

We prove a formula for the Szlenk power type of the injective tensor product of Banach spaces with Szlenk index at most $\omega$. We also show that the Szlenk power type as well as summability of the Szlenk index are separably determined,…

We introduce stronger versions of the usual notions of martingale type p <= 2 and cotype q >= 2 of a Banach space X and show that these concepts are equivalent to uniform p-smoothness and q-convexity, respectively. All these are metric…

For $1<p\le \infty$, we show the existence of a Banach space which is both injectively and surjectively universal for the class of all separable Banach spaces with an equivalent $p$-asymptotically uniformly smooth norm. We prove that this…

We study the general measures of non-compactness defined on subsets of a dual Banach space, their associated derivations and their $\omega$-iterates. We introduce the notions of convexifiable and sublinear measure of non-compactness and…

We study four asymptotic smoothness properties of Banach spaces, denoted $\textsf{T}_p,\textsf{A}_p, \textsf{N}_p$ and $\textsf{P}_p$. We complete their description by proving the missing renorming theorem for $\textsf{A}_p$. We prove that…

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…

For each ordinal $\alpha< \omega_1$, we prove the existence of a separable, reflexive Banach space with a basis and Szlenk index $\omega^{\alpha+1}$ which is universal for the class of separable, reflexive Banach spaces $X$ such that the…

We introduce the notion of approximate norm attainment set of a bounded linear operator between Banach spaces and use it to obtain a complete characterization of smooth points in the space of compact linear operators, provided the domain…

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…

In this note, we investigate the renorming theory of Banach spaces with property $(\beta)$ of Rolewicz. In particular, we give a "coordinate-free" proof of the fact that every Banach space with property $(\beta)$ admits an equivalent norm…
