Let $X$ and $Y$ be separable Banach spaces. Suppose $Y$ either has a shrinking basis or $Y$ is isomorphic to $C(2^\mathbb{N})$ and $A$ is a subset of weakly compact operators from $X$ to $Y$ which is analytic in the strong operator…

We investigate for a bounded semigroup of linear operators $S$ on a Banach space $E$ and a vector $x \in E$, when relative compactness of $S(I-T)x$ for every $T \in S$ implies relative compactness of the orbit $Sx$. In particular, we derive…

We prove that a separable Banach space $E$ does not contain a copy of the space $\co$ of null-sequences if and only if for every doubly power-bounded operator $T$ on $E$ and for every vector $x\in E$ the relative compactness of the sets…

We prove that a Tychonoff space $X$ is an Ascoli space (resp., a sequentially Ascoli space) if and only if for each Banach space $E$, every $k$-continuous and almost $k$-compact (resp., almost $k$-sequential) map $T$ form $X$ into the…

We remark that if $X$ is an infinite dimensional Banach space then every seminormalized weakly null sequence in $X$ has an asymptotic monotone basic subsequence. We also observe that if $X$ contains an isomorphic copy of $\ell_1$, then for…

In this paper, we investigate power-bounded operators, including surjective isometries, on Banach spaces. Koehler and Rosenthal asserted that an isolated point in the spectrum of a surjective isometry on a Banach space lies in the point…

We show that a separable real Banach space embeds almost isometrically in a space $Y$ with a shrinking 1-unconditional basis if and only if $\lim_{n \to \infty} \|x^* + x_n^*\| = \lim_{n \to \infty} \|x^* - x_n^*\|$ whenever $x^* \in X^*$,…

A linear operator $U$ acting boundedly on an infinite-dimensional separable complex Hilbert space $H$ is universal if every linear bounded operator acting on $H$ is similar to a scalar multiple of a restriction of $U$ to one of its…

If $T$ is a bounded linear operator acting on an infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$, we say that a closed subspace $Y$ of $X$ of both infinite dimension and codimension is an almost-invariant halfspace (AIHS) under $T$ whenever…

We investigate spaceability phenomena in linear dynamics from a structural perspective. Given a continuous linear operator \(T:X \to X\), we introduce the set \(\Omega(T)\), consisting of all continuous linear operators \(h:X \to X\) for…

A recent result of T.~Abrahamsen, P.~H\'ajek and S.~Troyanski states that a separable Banach space is almost square if and only if there exists $h\in S_{X^{****}}$ such that $\|x+h\|=\max\{\|x\|,1\}$ for all $x\in X$. The proof passes…

An example of an infinite dimensional and separable Banach space is given, that is not isomorphic to a subspace of l1 with no infinite equilateral sets.

We study the problem of the existence of a common algebraic complement for a pair of closed subspaces of a Banach space. We prove the following two characterizations: (1) The pairs of subspaces of a Banach space with a common complement…

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…

Let $X$ be a Banach space. We prove that, for a large class of Banach or quasi-Banach spaces $E$ of $X$-valued sequences, the sets $E-\bigcup _{q\in\Gamma}\ell_{q}(X)$, where $\Gamma$ is any subset of $(0,\infty]$, and $E-c_{0}(X)$ contain…

Given a Banach space $E$, we ask which closed subspaces may be realised as the kernel of a bounded operator $E \rightarrow E$. We prove some positive results which imply in particular that when $E$ is separable every closed subspace is a…

We characterize the Banach spaces X such that Ext(X, C(K))=0 for every compact space.

A Banach space X is superreflexive if each Banach space Y that is finitely representable in X is reflexive. Superreflexivity is known to be equivalent to J-convexity and to the non-existence of uniformly bounded factorizations of the…

In this paper we present a simple proof of Gowers Dichotomy which states that every infinite dimensional Banach Space has a subspace which either contains an unconditional basic sequence or is hereditarily indecomposable. Our approach is…

Let $X$ be a real reflexive Banach space and $X^*$ be its dual space. Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be open subsets of $X$ such that $\bar G_2\subset G_1$, $0\in G_2$, and $G_1$ is bounded. Let $L: X\supset D(L)\to X^*$ be a densely defined linear…
