We prove that if $X$ is a real Banach space, with $\dim X\geq 3$, which contains a subspace of codimension 1 which is 1-complemented in $X$ and whose group of isometries is almost transitive then $X$ is isometric to a Hilbert space. This…

Let F(X) denote the norm closure of the space of all finite rank operators on a Banach space X. We show that there are Banach spaces X for which the product map $a\otimes b\to ab$ does not define a surjective map from the projective tensor…

It is proved that the resolvent norm of an operator with a compact resolvent on a Banach space $X$ cannot be constant on an open set if the underlying space or its dual is complex strictly convex. It is also shown that this is not the case…

This is the survey of results about norm one projections and 1-complemented subspaces in K\"othe function spaces and Banach sequence spaces. The historical development of the theory is presented from the 1930's to the newest ideas. Proofs…

It is proved that if a Banach space $X$ has a basis $(e_n)$ satisfying every spreading model of a normalized block basis of $(e_n)$ is 1-equivalent to the unit vector basis of $\ell_1$ (respectively, $c_0$) then $X$ contains $\ell_1$…

We give a new scale of completeness conditions for exponential systems in two types of functional spaces on subsets of the complex plane. The first is the Banach spaces of functions that are continuous on a compact and simultaneously…

Let $E$ be a Banach space with the $c^1$-norm $\|\cdot\|$ in $ E \backslash \{0\}$ and $S(E)=\{e\in E: \|e\|=1\}.$ In this paper, a geometry characteristic for $E$ is presented by using a geometrical construct of $S(E).$ That is, the…

It is well known that every (real or complex) normed linear space $L$ is isometrically embeddable into $C(X)$ for some compact Hausdorff space $X$. Here $X$ is the closed unit ball of $L^*$ (the set of all continuous scalar-valued linear…

Let $X$ be a Banach space and $Y \subseteq X$ be a closed subspace. We prove that if the quotient $X/Y$ is weakly Lindel\"{o}f determined or weak Asplund, then for every $w^*$-convergent sequence $(y_n^*)_{n\in \mathbb N}$ in $Y^*$ there…

The problems connected with equivalent norms lie at the heart of Banach space theory. This is a short survey on some recent as well as classical results and open problems in renormings of Banach spaces.

Our main result is the following: {\it Let $E$ be a Banach space and $D$ be a weakly compact subset of $E$ with $0\notin D$. If $A$ is a bounded subset of $E$ such that every $x^*\in E^*$ with $x^*(D) >0$ attains its supremum on $A$, then…

We employ the theory of elementary submodels to improve a recent result by Aron, Jaramillo and Le Donne (Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn. Math., to appear) concerning restricting uniformly open, continuous surjections to smaller subspaces where they…

Let $E$ be a Banach space and, for any positive integer $n$, let ${\cal P}(^nE)$ denote the Banach space of continuous $n$-homogeneous polynomials on $E$. Davie and Gamelin showed that the natural extension mapping from ${\cal P}(^nE)$ to…

We investigate the question whether the (I)-envelope of any subset of a dual to a Banach space $X$ may be described as the closed convex hull in a suitable topology. If $X$ contains no copy of $\ell^1$ then the weak topology generated by…

We show that norms on certain Banach spaces $X$ can be approximated uniformly, and with arbitrary precision, on bounded subsets of $X$ by $C^{\infty}$ smooth norms and polyhedral norms. In particular, we show that this holds for any…

It is shown that if $A$ is an analytic class of separable Banach spaces with separable dual, then the set $A^*=\{Y:\exists X\in A \text{with} Y\cong X^*\}$ is analytic. The corresponding result for pre-duals is false.

Under the weak assumption on a Banach space $E$ that $E\oplus E$ embeds isomorphically into $E$, we provide a characterisation of when a Banach space $X$ coarsely embeds into $E$ via a single numerical invariant.

We show that every Banach space $X$ containing an isomorphic copy of $c_0$ has an infinite equilateral set and also that if $X$ has a bounded biorthogonal system of size $\alpha$ then it can be renormed so as to admit an equilateral set 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 $H$ be an ultraspherical hypergroup associated to a locally compact group $ G $ and let $A(H)$ be the Fourier algebra of $H$. For a left Banach $A(H)$-submodule $X$ of $VN(H)$, define $Q_X$ to be the norm closure of the linear span of…
