We introduce a norm-controlled notion of semiprojectivity for Banach lattices, requiring liftability of contractive lattice homomorphisms through inductive limits of closed ideals with arbitrarily small loss of norm control. Our main result…
We define and prove the existence of free Banach lattices in the category of Banach lattices and contractive lattice homomorphisms and establish some of their fundamental properties. We give much more detailed results about their structure…
The construction of the free Banach lattice generated by a real Banach space is extended to the complex setting. It is shown that for every complex Banach space $E$ there is a complex Banach lattice $FBL_{\mathbb C}[E]$ containing a linear…
In this article we deal with the free Banach lattice $FBL\langle \mathbb{L} \rangle$ generated by a lattice $\mathbb{L}$. We prove that if $FBL\langle \mathbb{L} \rangle$ is projective then $\mathbb{L}$ has a maximum and a minimum. On the…
We begin by describing the unit ball of the free $p$-convex Banach lattice over a Banach space $E$ (denoted by ${\mathrm{FBL}}^{(p)}[E]$) as a closed solid convex hull of an appropriate set. Based on it, we show that, if a Banach space $E$…
A well-known classical result states that $c_0$ is linearly embeddable in a Banach lattice if and only if it is lattice embeddable. Improving results of H.P.~Lotz, H.P.~Rosenthal and N.~Ghoussoub, we prove that $C[0,1]$ shares this property…
A partial lattice P is ideal-projective, with respect to a class C of lattices, if for every K $\in$ C and every homomorphism $\phi$ of partial lattices from P to the ideal lattice of K, there are arbitrarily large choice functions f : P…
For a tuple $A=(A_0, A_1, ..., A_n)$ of elements in a unital Banach algebra ${\mathcal B}$, its {\em projective spectrum} $p(A)$ is defined to be the collection of $z=[z_0, z_1, ..., z_n]\in \pn$ such that $A(z)=z_0A_0+z_1A_1+... +z_nA_n$…
We prove some general results on sequential convergence in Fr\'echet lattices that yield, as particular instances, the following results regarding a closed ideal I of a Banach lattice E: (i) If two of the lattices E, I and E/I have the…
Ordered vector spaces E and F are said to be order isomorphic if there is a (not necessarily linear) bijection between them that preserves order. We investigate some situations under which an order isomorphism between two Banach lattices…
We characterize the projectors $ P $ on a Banach space $ E $ having the property of being connected to all the others projectors obtained as a conjugation of $ P $. Using this characterization we show an example of Banach space where the…
We prove the following results: (i) Every absolutely weakly compact set in a Banach lattice is absolutely weakly sequentially compact. (ii) The converse of (i) holds if $E$ is separable or $B_{E^{**}}$ is absolutely weak$^*$ compact. (iii)…
We study the projectivity of the free Banach lattice generated by a lattice $\mathbb{L}$ in two cases: when the lattice is finite, and when the lattice is an infinite linearly ordered set. We prove that in the first case it is projective…
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…
A Banach space is said to be Grothendieck if weak and weak$^*$ convergent sequences in the dual space coincide. This notion has been quantificated by H. Bendov\'{a}. She has proved that $\ell_\infty$ has the quantitative Grothendieck…
We show that the Banach space $C(K,X)$ is subprojective if $K$ is scattered and $X$ is subprojective.
We investigate the structure of the free $p$-convex Banach lattice $FBL^{(p)}[E]$ over a Banach space $E$. After recalling why such a free lattice exists, and giving a convenient functional representation of it, we focus our study on how…
We extend the well known criteria of reflexivity of Banach lattices due to Lozanovsky and Lotz to the class of finitely generated Banach $C(K)$- modules. Namely we prove that a finitely generated Banach $C(K)$-module is reflexive if and…
We study distinguished objects in the category $\mathcal{BL}$ of Banach lattices and lattice homomorphisms. The free Banach lattice construction introduced by de Pagter and Wickstead generates push-outs, and combining this with an old…
In this paper we define module biprojctivity and module biflatness for a Banach algebra which is a Banach module over another Banach algebra with compatible actions, and find their relation to classical biprojectivity and biflatness. As a…
