For a metric space $X$, we study the space $D^{\infty}(X)$ of bounded functions on $X$ whose infinitesimal Lipschitz constant is uniformly bounded. $D^{\infty}(X)$ is compared with the space $\LIP^{\infty}(X)$ of bounded Lipschitz functions…

By the Hahn-Banach theorem, every normed space admits rank-one projections with operator norm one. However, this is not true for higher rank projections. Bosznay and Garay showed that for every $d \geq 3$ there exist $d$-dimensional normed…

Bourgain's discretization theorem asserts that there exists a universal constant $C\in (0,\infty)$ with the following property. Let $X,Y$ be Banach spaces with $\dim X=n$. Fix $D\in (1,\infty)$ and set $\delta= e^{-n^{Cn}}$. Assume that…

We reduce the polynomial cluster value problem for the algebra of bounded analytic functions, $H^{\infty}$, on the ball of Banach spaces $X$ to the same polynomial cluster value problem for $H^{\infty}$ but on the ball of those spaces which…

We obtain several new results on the simultaneous packing and covering constant $\gamma(\mathcal{X})$ of a Banach space $\mathcal{X}$, and its lattice counterpart $\gamma^*(\mathcal{X})$. These constants measure how efficient a (lattice)…

Let $X$ be a Banach holomorphic function space on the unit disk. A linear polynomial approximation scheme for $X$ is a sequence of bounded linear operators $T_n:X\to X$ with the property that, for each $f\in X$, the functions $T_n(f)$ are…

According to a result due to B.T. Polyak, a mapping between Hilbert spaces, which is $C^{1,1}$ around a regular point, carries a ball centered at that point to a convex set, provided that the radius of the ball is small enough. The present…

After n random polarizations of Borel set on a sphere, its expected symmetric difference from a polar cap is bounded by C/n, where the constant depends on the dimension [arXiv:1104.4103]. We show here that this power law is best possible,…

For any non-trivial convex and bounded subset $C$ of a Banach space, we show that outside of a $\sigma$-porous subset of the space of non-expansive mappings $C\to C$, all mappings have the maximal Lipschitz constant one witnessed locally at…

Let $X$ be a Banach space with separable dual. It is proved that for every $\varepsilon\in (0,1)$, $X$ embeds isometrically into a Banach space $W$ with a shrinking basis $(w_n)$ which is $(1+ \varepsilon)$-monotone. Moreover, if $X$ has…

Let $X$ be a real separable normed space $X$ admitting a separating polynomial. We prove that each continuous function from a subset $A$ of $X$ to a real Banach space can be uniformly approximated by restrictions to $A$ of functions which…

A Banach space $X$ is elastic if there is a constant $K$ so that whenever a Banach space $Y$ embeds into $X$, then there is an embedding of $Y$ into $X$ with constant $K$. We prove that $C[0,1]$ embeds into separable infinite dimensional…

Let $(X_0, X_1)$ and $(Y_0, Y_1)$ be complex Banach couples and assume that $X_1\subseteq X_0$ with norms satisfying $\|x\|_{X_0} \le c\|x\|_{X_1}$ for some $c > 0$. For any $0<\theta <1$, denote by $X_\theta = [X_0, X_1]_\theta$ and…

It is well known in Banach space theory that for a finite dimensional space $E$ there exists a constant $c_E$, such that for all sequences $(x_k)_k \subset E$ one has \[ \summ_k \noo x_k \rrm \kl c_E \pl \sup_{\eps_k \pm 1} \noo \summ_k…

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…

Let $C_b(K)$ be the set of all bounded continuous (real or complex) functions on a complete metric space $K$ and $A$ a closed subspace of $C_b(K)$. Using the variational method, it is shown that the set of all strong peak functions in $A$…
