Nonreflexive Banach spaces that are complemented in their bidual by an L-projection - like preduals of von Neumann algebras or the Hardy space $H^1$ - contain, roughly speaking, many copies of $l^1$ which are very close to isometric copies.…

Let X,Y be two Banach spaces ; in the first part of this work, we show that K(X,Y) contains a complemented copy of c0 if Y contains a copy of c0 and each bounded sequence in Y has a subsequece which is w* convergente. Afterward we obtain…

It is an open problem whether an infinite-dimensional amenable Banach algebra exists whose underlying Banach space is reflexive. We give sufficient conditions for a reflexive, amenable Banach algebra to be finite-dimensional (and thus a…

We give a metric characterisation of when the Lipschitz-free space over a separable ultrametric space is a dual Banach space. In the case where the Lipschitz-free space has a predual, we show that this predual is M-embedded if and only if…

In earlier work a crossed product of a Banach algebra was constructed from a Banach algebra dynamical system $(A,G,\alpha)$ and a class $\mathcal{R}$ of continuous covariant representations, and its representations were determined. In this…

In this paper we analyse when every element of $X\widehat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ attains its projective norm. We prove that this is the case if $X$ is the dual of a subspace of a predual of an $\ell_1(I)$ space and $Y$ is $1$-complemented in its…

For an operator bimodule $X$ over von Neumann algebras $A\subseteq\bh$ and $B\subseteq\bk$, the space of all completely bounded $A,B$-bimodule maps from $X$ into $\bkh$, is the bimodule dual of $X$. Basic duality theory is developed with a…

We investigate possible preduals of the measure algebra $M(G)$ of a locally compact group and the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of a separable compact group. Both of these algebras are canonically dual spaces and the canonical preduals make the…

We introduce a notion of Homological Projective Duality for smooth algebraic varieties in dual projective spaces, a homological extension of the classical projective duality. If algebraic varieties $X$ and $Y$ in dual projective spaces are…

The question regarding the location of Banach spaces inside their biduals has been investigated and answered reasonably satisfactorily in the linear theory of Banach spaces. Thus, for instance, whereas it is known that a dual Banach space…

We look for an effective description of the algebra D_{Lie}(X,B) of operators on a bimodule X over an algebra B, generated by inner derivations. It is shown that in some important examples D_{Lie}(X,B) consists of all elementary operators…

Let $A$ and $B$ be Banach algebras and let $B$ be an algebraic Banach $A-$bimodule. Then the $\ell^1-$direct sum $A\times B$ equipped with the multiplication $$(a_1,b_1)(a_2,b_2)=(a_1a_2,a_1\cdot b_2+b_1\cdot a_2+b_1b_2),~~ (a_1, a_2\in A,…

We construct the linear Poisson structure on the predual bundle of a Banach Lie algebroid. It is an alternative approach to the already known results on the linear sub-Poisson structure on the dual bundle. We also discuss the existence of…

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 $X$ be a Banach space with the unit ball $B(X)$ and $A\subset X$ be a convex origin-symmetric compact in $X$. Let $\mathrm{j}:X\rightarrow \widetilde{X}$ be an isometric extension of $X$. It is well-known that linear widths $\lambda…

In this article, we will give a characterization of Banach bimodules over $C^*$-algebras of compact operators that arises from operator spaces as well as a characterization of (F)-Banach bundles amongst all (H)-Banach bundles over a…

Given a separable Banach space $E$, we construct an extremely non-complex Banach space (i.e. a space satisfying that $\|Id + T^2\|=1+\|T^2\|$ for every bounded linear operator $T$ on it) whose dual contains $E^*$ as an $L$-summand. We also…

We show that every metric space with bounded geometry uniformly embeds into an explicit reflexive Banach space (a direct sum of l^p spaces). In the case of discrete groups we show the analogue of a-T-menability. That is, we construct a…

Given a pair of number fields with isomorphic rings of adeles, we construct bijections between objects associated to the pair. For instance we construct an isomorphism of Brauer groups that commutes with restriction. We additionally…

In this paper we study conditions on a Banach space X that ensure that the Banach algebra K(X) of compact operators is amenable. We give a symmetrized approximation property of X which is proved to be such a condition. This property is…
