The celebrated Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma states that for all $\varepsilon \in (0,1)$ and finite sets $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^N$ with $n>1$ elements, there exists a matrix $\Phi \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times N}$ with…

A remarkable theorem of R. C. James is the following: suppose that $X$ is a Banach space and $C \subseteq X$ is a norm bounded, closed and convex set such that every linear functional $x^* \in X^*$ attains its supremum on $C$; then $C$ is a…

Let $X$ be a Banach space. For $x \in X$ with $\|x\| = 1$, we denote the state space by $S_x = \{x^* \in X^* : \|x^*\| = x^*(x) = 1\}.$ In this paper, we study weak$^*$-weak and weak$^*$-$\|\cdot\|$ points of continuity of the identity map…

A Banach space $\X$ has the complete continuity property (CCP) if each bounded linear operator from $L_1$ into $\X$ is completely continuous (i.e., maps weakly convergent sequences to norm convergent sequences). The main theorem shows that…

We intend to study the uniqueness of the Hahn-Banach extensions of linear functionals on a subspace in locally convex spaces. Various characterizations are derived when a subspace $Y$ has an analogous version of property-U (introduced by…

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…

We show that the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal{F}(X)$ over a superreflexive Banach space $X$ has the property that every weakly precompact subset of $\mathcal{F}(X)$ is relatively super weakly compact, showing that this space "behaves like…

In this paper we establish some new results concerning the Cauchy-Peano problem in Banach spaces. Firstly, we prove that if a Banach space $E$ admits a fundamental biorthogonal system, then there exists a continuous vector field $f\colon…

We characterize the weak-star point of continuity property for subspaces of dual spaces with separable predual and we deduce that the weak-star point of continuity property is determined by subspaces with a Schauder basis in the natural…

We provide sufficient conditions for a Banach space Y to be weakly sequentially complete. These conditions are expressed in terms of the existence of directional derivatives for cone convex mappings with values in Y .

Let X be a Banach space. Given a subset A of the dual space X* denote by $A_{(1)}$ the weak* sequential closure of A, i.e., the set of all limits of weak*-convergent sequences in A. The study of weak* sequential closures of linear subspaces…

In the main result of the paper we extend Rosenthal's characterization of Banach spaces with the Schur property by showing that for a quasi-complete locally convex space $E$ whose separable bounded sets are metrizable the following…

If $X$ is an infinite-dimensional uniform algebra, if $X$ has the Daugavet property or if $X$ is a proper $M$-embedded space, every relatively weakly open subset of the unit ball of the Banach space $X$ is known to have diameter 2, i.e.,…

We show that if X is a tight subspace of C(K) then X has the Pelczynski property and X^* is weakly sequentially complete. We apply this result to the space U of uniformly convergent Taylor series on the unit circle and using a minimal…

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…

For a Banach space $X$ its subset $Y\subseteq X$ is called overcomplete if $|Y|=dens(X)$ and $Z$ is linearly dense in $X$ for every $Z\subseteq Y$ with $|Z|=|Y|$. In the context of nonseparable Banach spaces this notion was introduced…

We prove that if a unital Banach algebra $A$ is the dual of a Banach space $\pd{A}$, then the set of weak* continuous states is weak* dense in the set of all states on $A$. Further, weak* continuous states linearly span $\pd{A}$.

We prove that in a certain class E of nonseparable Banach spaces the norm topology of the dual ball is definable in terms of its weak* topology. Thus, any weak* homeomorphism between duals balls of spaces in E is automatically…

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra. For $f\in A^{\ast}$, we inspect the weak sequential properties of the well-known map $T_f:A\to A^{\ast}$, $T_f(a) = fa$, where $fa\in A^{\ast}$ is defined by $fa(x) = f(ax)$ for all $x\in A$. We provide…

We study the class of Banach spaces $X$ such that the locally convex space $(X,\mu(X,Y))$ is complete for every norming and norm-closed subspace $Y \subset X^*$, where $\mu(X,Y)$ denotes the Mackey topology on $X$ associated to the dual…
