We prove that there exists a finite-dimensional Banach space $X$ such that $L_1^\mathbb C([0,1])\widehat{\otimes}_\varepsilon X$ fails the strong diameter two property and $L_\infty^\mathbb C([0,1])\widehat{\otimes}_\pi X^*$ fails to have…

We analyze various consequences in relation to the extension of operators $T:X\to Y$ that are $p$-compact, as well as the extension of operators $T:X\to Y$ whose adjoints $T^*:Y^*\to X^*$ are $p$-compact. In most cases, we discuss these…

All most all the function spaces over real or complex domains and spaces of sequences, that arise in practice as examples of normed complete linear spaces (Banach spaces), are reflexive. These Banach spaces are dual to their respective…

Let $a$ and $b$ be elements in the closed ball of a unital C$^*$-algebra $A$ (if $A$ is not unital we consider its natural unitization). We shall say that $a$ and $b$ are domain (respectively, range) absolutely compatible ($a\triangle_d b$,…

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…

We prove a Hopf bifurcation theorem in general Banach spaces, which improves a classical result by Crandall and Rabinowitz. Actually, our theorem does not need any compactness conditions, which leads to wider applications. In particular,…

A subspace $X$ of a Banach space $Y$ has $\textit{Property U}$ whenever every continuous linear functional on $X$ has a unique norm-preserving (i.e., Hahn$-$Banach) extension to $Y$ (Phelps, 1960). Throughout this document we introduce and…

We study smoothness and strict convexity of (the bidual) of Banach spaces in the presence of diameter 2 properties. We prove that the strong diameter 2 property prevents the bidual from being strictly convex and being smooth, and we…

We study transfinite analogues of the symmetric strong diameter two property. We investigate the stability of these properties under $c_0$, $\ell_\infty$ sums and under projective tensor products. Moreover, we characterize Banach spaces of…

Fixed point theory studies conditions under which nonexpansive maps on Banach spaces have fixed points. This paper examines the open question of whether every reflexive Banach space has the fixed point property. After surveying classical…

We give a class of bounded closed sets $C$ in a Banach space satisfying a generalized and stronger form of the Bishop-Phelps property studied by Bourgain in \cite{Bj} for dentable sets. A version of the {\it ``Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as"}…

A Banach space is $c_0$-saturated if all of its closed infinite dimensional subspaces contain an isomorph of $c_0$. In this article, we study the stability of this property under the formation of direct sums and tensor products. Some of the…

In this paper, we investigate homological properties of Banach algebras. We show that retractions Banach algebras preserve biprojectivity, contractibility and biflatness. We also prove that contractibility of second dual of a Banach algebra…

Cyclic contractions generalize the usual contractivities in metric spaces and $b$-MSs. In this paper, we enhance several fixed point theorems related to cyclic (i) Banach self-maps, (ii) Chatterjea contractivities, (iii) Kannan…

We consider contractive homomorphisms of a planar algebra ${\mathcal A}(\Omega)$ over a finitely connected bounded domain $\Omega \subseteq \C$ and ask if they are necessarily completely contractive. We show that a homomorphism…

We study c-completeness on domains in C^n. We reprove Sibony/Selby result on completeness on the complex plane. We also give a characterization of c-completeness in Reinhardt domains.

A well-known result of R. Pol states that a Banach space $X$ has property ($\mathcal{C}$) of Corson if and only if every point in the weak*-closure of any convex set $C \subseteq B_{X^*}$ is actually in the weak*-closure of a countable…

In this note a large class of primary Banach spaces is characterized. Namely, it will be demonstrated that under the Continuum Hypothesis the ultrapower of any infinite dimensional nonsuperreflexive Banach space is always primary.…

We explore extreme contractions between finite-dimensional polygonal Banach spaces, from the point of view of attainment of norm of a linear operator. We prove that if $ X $ is an $ n- $dimensional polygonal Banach space and $ Y $ is any…

We describe all possibilities of existence of non-elementary proper holomorphic maps between non-hyperbolic Reinhardt domains in $\mathbb C^2$ and the corresponding pairs of domains.
