Let $X$ be a ball quasi-Banach function space on $\mathbb R^{n}$ and $h_{X}(\mathbb R^{n})$ the local Hardy space associated with $X$. In this paper, under some reasonable assumptions on $X$, the infinite and finite atomic decompositions…

It is shown that a separable Banach space $X$ can be given an equivalent norm $|\!|\!|\cdot |\!|\!|$ with the following properties:\quad If $(x_n)\subseteq X$ is relatively weakly compact and $\lim_{m\to\infty} \lim_{n\to\infty}\break…

A closed subspace of a Banach space $\cX$ is almost-invariant for a collection $\cS$ of bounded linear operators on $\cX$ if for each $T \in \cS$ there exists a finite-dimensional subspace $\cF_T$ of $\cX$ such that $T \cY \subseteq \cY +…

For every $ 1 < p < \infty $ an isomorphically polyhedral Banach space $E_p$ is constructed having an unconditional basis and admitting a quotient isomorphic to $\ell_p$. It is also shown that $E_p$ is not isomorphic to a subspace of a…

We study the numerical index of absolute sums of Banach spaces, giving general conditions which imply that the numerical index of the sum is less or equal than the infimum of the numerical indices of the summands and we provide some…

Let $X$ be a Banach space with a separable dual. We prove that $X$ embeds isomorphically into a $\cL_\infty$ space $Z$ whose dual is isomorphic to $\ell_1$. If, moreover, $U$ is a space so that $U$ and $X$ are totally incomparable, then we…

We introduce and study two new relations between function spaces over measure spaces of infinite measure, motivated by the question of establishing compactness. The first relation captures the uniform decay of function (quasi-)norms ``at…

In three previous papers, we discussed quasidense multifunctions from a Banach space into its dual, or, equivalently, quasidense subsets of the product of a Banach space and its dual. In this paper, we survey (without proofs) some of the…

Let $X, Y$ be infinite dimensional, Banach spaces. Let $\mathcal{L}(X, Y)$ be the space of bounded operators . Motivated by the fact that smoothness of norm in the higher duals of even order of a Banach space can lead to Frechet…

We extend Pisier's abstract version of Grothendieck's theorem to general non-locally convex quasi-Banach spaces. We also prove a related result on factoring operators through a Banach space and apply our results to the study of…

We show in this paper that every bijective linear isometry between the continuous section spaces of two non-square Banach bundles gives rise to a Banach bundle isomorphism. This is to support our expectation that the geometric structure of…

We prove that a Tychonoff space $X$ is an Ascoli space (resp., a sequentially Ascoli space) if and only if for each Banach space $E$, every $k$-continuous and almost $k$-compact (resp., almost $k$-sequential) map $T$ form $X$ into the…

We address some open problems concerning Banach spaces of real-valued Lipschitz functions. Specifically, we prove that the diameter two properties differ from their weak-star counterparts in these spaces. In particular, we establish the…

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 aim of this note is to present two results that make the task of finding equivalent polyhedral norms on certain Banach spaces, having either a Schauder basis or an uncountable unconditional basis, easier and more transparent. The…

We show that there exists a strong uniform embedding from any proper metric space into any Banach space without cotype. Then we prove a result concerning the Lipschitz embedding of locally finite subsets of $\mathcal{L}_{p}$-spaces. We use…

In this paper, we study octahedral norms in free Banach lattices $FBL[E]$ generated by a Banach space $E$. We prove that if $E$ is an $L_1(\mu)$-space, a predual of von Neumann algebra, a predual of a JBW$^*$-triple, the dual of an…

It is shown that the weak $L^p$ spaces $\ell^{p,\infty}, L^{p,\infty}[0,1]$, and $L^{p,\infty}[0,\infty)$ are isomorphic as Banach spaces.

We show that if the Banach-Mazur distance between an n-dimensional normed space X and ell infinity is at most 3/2, then there exist n+1 equidistant points in X. By a well-known result of Alon and Milman, this implies that an arbitrary…

We consider several quantities related to weak sequential completeness of a Banach space and prove some of their properties in general and in $L$-embedded Banach spaces, improving in particular an inequality of G. Godefroy, N. Kalton and D.…
