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…

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…

In this paper we deal with two weaker forms of injectivity which turn out to have a rich structure behind: separable injectivity and universal separable injectivity. We show several structural and stability properties of these classes of…

We show that the problem whether every $1$-separably injective Banach space contains an isomorphic copy of $\ell_\infty$ is undecidable. Namely, unlike under the continuum hypothesis, assuming Martin's axiom and the negation of the…

The polarization constant of a Banach space $X$ is defined as $$\mathbf c(X):= \limsup\limits_{k\rightarrow \infty} \mathbf c(k, X)^\frac{1}{k},$$ where $\mathbf c(k, X)$ stands for the best constant $C>0$ such that $ \Vert…

Necessary and sufficient conditions for a separable Banach space to be a dual space are proved. Some applications are discussed

We study the James constant $J(\mathbb{X})$, an important geometric quantity associated with a normed space $ \mathbb{X} $, and explore its connection with isosceles orthogonality $ \perp_I. $ The James constant is defined as $J(\mathbb{X})…

We study the group invariant continuous polynomials on a Banach space $X$ that separate a given set $K$ in $X$ and a point $z$ outside $K$. We show that if $X$ is a real Banach space, $G$ is a compact group of $\mathcal{L} (X)$, $K$ is a…

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…

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 prove a commutative Gelfand--Naimark type theorem, by showing that the set $C_s(X)$ of continuous bounded (real or complex valued) functions with separable support on a locally separable metrizable space $X$ (provided with the supremum…

We construct a nonseparable Banach space $\mathcal X$ (actually, of density continuum) such that any uncountable subset $\mathcal Y$ of the unit sphere of $\mathcal X$ contains uncountably many points distant by less than $1$ (in fact, by…

We prove new estimates of the $K$-divisibility constants for some special Banach couples. In particular, we prove that the $K$-divisibility constant for a couple of the form $(U\oplus V, U)$ where $U$ and $V$ are non-trivial Hilbert spaces…

While the classic separable quotient problem remains open, we survey general results related to this problem and examine the existence of a particular infinitedimensional separable quotient in some Banach spaces of vector-valued functions,…

The paper alluded to in the title contains the following striking result: Let $I$ be the unit interval and $\Delta$ the Cantor set. If $X$ is a quasi Banach space containing no copy of $c_0$ which is isomorphic to a closed subspace of a…

For a constant $K\geq 1$ let $\mathfrak{B}_K$ be the class of pairs $(X,(\mathbf e_n)_{n\in\omega})$ consisting of a Banach space $X$ and an unconditional Schauder basis $(\mathbf e_n)_{n\in\omega}$ for $X$, having the unconditional basic…

In the past, Takahashi has introduced the James type constants $\mathcal{J}_{\mathcal{X} ,t}(\tau)$. Building upon this foundation, we introduce an innovative skew James type constant, denoted as $\mathcal{J}_t[\tau,\mathcal{X}]$, which is…

In this note, we introduce a new class of separable Banach spaces, ${SD^p}[{\mathbb{R}^n}],\;1 \leqslant p \leqslant \infty$, which contain each $L^p$-space as a dense continuous and compact embedding. They also contain the nonabsolutely…

Following James' approach, we shall define the Banach space $J(e)$ for each vector $e=(e_1,e_2,...,e_d) \in \Bbb{R}^d$ with $ e_1 \ne 0$. The construction immediately implies that J(1) coincides with the Hilbert space $i_2$ and that…

Recently, the von Neumann-Jordan type constants C(X) has defined by Takahashi. A new skew generalized constant Cp({\lambda},\mu,X) based on C(X) constant is given in this paper. First, we will obtain some basic properties of this new…
