We study those Banach spaces $X$ for which $S_X$ does not admit a finite $\eps$-net consisting of elements of $S_X$ for any $\eps < 2$. We give characterisations of this class of spaces in terms of $\ell_1$-type sequences and in terms of…

We present some new results on the symmetric Kottman's constant $K^s(X)$ of a Banach space $X$ and its relationship with the Kottman constant. We show that $K^s(X)>1$, for every infinite-dimensional Banach space, thereby solving a problem…

Motivated by a question of Vincent Lafforgue, we study the Banach spaces $X$ satisfying the following property: there is a function $\vp\to \Delta_X(\vp)$ tending to zero with $\vp>0$ such that every operator $T\colon L_2\to L_2$ with…

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 be a totally real field of degree d and let p be an odd prime which is totally split in F. We define and study one-dimensional partial eigenvarieties interpolating Hilbert modular forms over F with weight varying only at a single…

We study some properties of the randomized series and their applications to the geometric structure of Banach spaces. For $n\ge 2$ and $1<p<\infty$, it is shown that $\ell_\infty^n$ is representable in a Banach space $X$ if and only if it…

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…

We study finite subsets of $\ell_p$ and show that, up to nowhere dense and Haar null complement, all of them embed isometrically into any Banach space that uniformly contains the spaces $\ell_p^n$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$.

We show that well-established methods from the theory of Banach modules and time-frequency analysis allow to derive completeness results for the collection of shifted and dilated version of a given (test) function in a quite general…

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 study Hilbert generated versions of nonseparable Banach spaces $\mathcal X$ considered by Shelah, Stepr\=ans and Wark where the behavior of the norm on nonseparable subsets is so irregular that it does not allow any linear bounded…

We introduce an unconditional concept of almost squareness in order to provide a partial negative answer to the problem of existence of any dual almost square Banach space. We also take advantage of this notion to provide some criterion of…

In this note we find $\lambda>1$ and give an explicit construction of a separable Banach space $X$ such that there is no $\lambda$-Lipschitz retraction from $X$ onto any compact convex subset of $X$ whose closed linear span is $X$. This is…

In this work, we study the Landis conjecture for second-order elliptic equations in the plane. Precisely, assume that $V\ge 0$ is a measurable real-valued function satisfying $\|V\|_{L^\infty({\mathbb R}^2)} \le 1$. Let $u$ be a real…

We study the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property for operators from $\ell_\infty ^4 $ to a Banach space. For this reason we introduce an appropiate geometric property, namely the AHSp-$\ell_\infty ^4$. We prove that spaces $Y$satisfying…

In formulating the stability problem for an infinite chain of cars, state space is traditionally taken to be the Hilbert space $\ell^2$, wherein the displacements of cars from their equilibria, or the velocities from their equilibria, are…

We investigate different possiblities of subspaces of the space $\ell_{\infty}$ in terms of whether the subspaces are polyhedral or not. We further study finite-dimensional subspaces of $\ell_{\infty}$ which are of the form $\ell_\infty^n$…

We consider the problem of existence and uniqueness of strong solutions $u: \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}^N$ in $(H^{2}\cap H^{1}_0)(\Omega)^N$ to the problem \[\label{1} \tag{1} \left\{ \begin{array}{l}…

In this paper, two main results concerning uniformly continuous retractions are proved. First, an $\alpha$-H\"older retraction from any separable Banach space onto a compact convex subset whose closed linear span is the whole space is…

The convolution inequality $h*h(\xi) \leq B |\xi|^\theta h(\xi)$ defined on $\Rn$ arises from a probabilistic representation of solutions of the $n$-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, $n \geq 2$. Using a chaining argument, we establish…
