It is shown that for a locally compact group $G$, if $L^{1}(G)^{**}$ is approximately weakly amenable, then $M(G)$ is approximately weakly amenable. Then, new notions of approximate weak amenability and approximate cyclic amenability for…

We prove a general principle satisfied by weakly precompact sets of Lipschitz-free spaces. By this principle, certain infinite dimensional phenomena in Lipschitz-free spaces over general metric spaces may be reduced to the same phenomena in…

It is shown that any Banach space X of sufficiently large density contains an (infinite) unconditional sequence and a separable quotient. If a density of X is a weakly compact cardinal, then X contains an unconditional sequence of…

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra and $\phi\in \Delta(A)\cup\{0\}$. We say that $A$ is $\Delta$-weak $\phi$-amenable if there exists an $m\in A^{**}$ such that $m(\phi)=0$ and $m(\psi.a)=\psi(a)$ for each $\psi\in \Delta(A)$ and $a\in…

A collection $\mathcal{C}$ of $k$-element subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,m\}$ is weakly separated if for each $I, J \in \mathcal{C}$, when the integers $1,2,\ldots,m$ are arranged around in a circle, there is a chord separating $I \backslash J$…

We generalize the notion of summable Szlenk index from a Banach space to an arbitrary weak$^*$-compact set. We prove that a weak$^*$-compact set has summable Szlenk index if and only if its weak$^*$-closed, absolutely convex hull does. As a…

In this paper we show the weak Banach-Saks property of the Banach vector space $(L_\mu^p)^m$ generated by $m$ $L_\mu^p$-spaces for $1\leq p<+\infty,$ where $m$ is any given natural number. When $m=1,$ this is the famous Banach-Saks-Szlenk…

The paper studies properties of twisted sums of a Banach space $X$ with $c_0(\kappa)$. We first prove a representation theorem for such twisted sums from which we will obtain, among others, the following: (a) twisted sums of $c_0(I)$ and…

A Banach space is said to be Grothendieck if weak and weak$^*$ convergent sequences in the dual space coincide. This notion has been quantificated by H. Bendov\'{a}. She has proved that $\ell_\infty$ has the quantitative Grothendieck…

A Banach space is locally almost square if, for every $y$ in its unit sphere, there exists a sequence $(x_n)$ in its unit sphere such that $\lim\|y\pm x_n\|=1$. A Banach space is weakly almost square if, in addition, we require the sequence…

We construct a Banach space satisfying that the nearest point map (also called proximity mapping or metric projection) onto any compact and convex subset is continuous but not uniformly continuous. The space we construct is locally…

A bounded subset $M$ of a Banach space $X$ is said to be $\varepsilon$-weakly precompact, for a given $\varepsilon\geq 0$, if every sequence $(x_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ in $M$ admits a subsequence $(x_{n_k})_{k\in \mathbb{N}}$ such that $$…

Suppose that E is a Banach space, {\tau} a topology under which the norm of E becomes {\tau}-lower semicontinuous and S a commuting family of {\tau}-continuous nonexpansive mappings defined on a {\tau}-compact convex subset C of E: It is…

A Banach space contains either a minimal subspace or a continuum of incomparable subspaces. General structure results for analytic equivalence relations are applied in the context of Banach spaces to show that if $E_0$ does not reduce to…

A Banach space $X$ has Pe{\l}czy\' nski's property (V) if for every Banach space $Y$ every unconditionally converging operator $T\colon X\to Y$ is weakly compact. In 1962, Aleksander Pe{\l}czy\' nski showed that $C(K)$ spaces for a compact…

We conjecture that whenever $M$ is a metric space of density at most continuum, then the space of Lipschitz functions is $w^*$-separable. We prove the conjecture for several classes of metric spaces including all the Banach spaces with a…

For any $n$-dimensional compact spin Riemannian manifold $M$ with a given spin structure and a spinor bundle $\Sigma M$, and any compact Riemannian manifold $N$, we show an $\epsilon$-regularity theorem for weakly Dirac-harmonic maps . As a…

Our main result states that the hyperspace of convex compact subsets of a compact convex subset $X$ in a locally convex space is an absolute retract if and only if $X$ is an absolute retract of weight $\le\omega_1$. It is also proved that…

We provide a new proof of James' sup theorem for (non necessarily separable) Banach spaces. One of the ingredients is the following generalization of a theorem of Hagler and Johnson (1977) : "If a normed space $E$ does not contain any…

Several new characterizations of the Gelfand-Phillips property are given. We define a strong version of the Gelfand-Phillips property and prove that a Banach space has this stronger property iff it embeds into $c_0$. For an infinite compact…
