There is a hierarchy of structure conditions for convex sets. In this paper we study a recently defined [3, 8, 9] condition called locally nonconical convexity (abbreviated LNC). Is is easy to show that every strictly convex set is LNC, as…

The present paper is concerned with Lipschitz properties of convex mappings. One considers the general context of mappings defined on an open convex subset $\Omega$ of a locally convex space $X$ and taking values in a locally convex space…

An old question of A.V. Arhangel'skii asks if the Menger property of a Tychonoff space $X$ is preserved by homeomorphisms of its function space $C_p(X)$. We provide affirmative answer in the case of linear homeomorphisms. To this end, we…

We show that if a Banach space X has the weak fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings and Y has the generalized Gossez-Lami Dozo property or is uniformly convex in every direction, then the direct sum of X and Y with a strictly…

A Banach space $X$ has the ball fixed point property (BFPP) if for every closed ball $B$ and for every nonexpansive mapping $T\colon B\to B$, there is a fixed point. We study the BFPP for $C(K)$-spaces. Our goal is to determine topological…

The paper studies the free locally convex space $L(X)$ over a Tychonoff space $X$. Since for infinite $X$ the space $L(X)$ is never metrizable (even not Fr\'echet-Urysohn), a possible applicable generalized metric property for $L(X)$ is…

Given Banach spaces E and F, we denote by ${\mathcal P}(^k!E,F)$ the space of all k-homogeneous (continuous) polynomials from E into F, and by ${\mathcal P}_{wb}(^k!E,F)$ the subspace of polynomials which are weak-to-norm continuous on…

We prove that for certain subsets $M \subseteq \mathbb{R}^N$, $N \geqslant 1$, the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal{F}(M)$ has the metric approximation property (MAP), with respect to any norm on $\mathbb{R}^N$. In particular,…

Heinrich Tietze has shown that for a closed connected subset of euclidean space being convex is a local property. We generalize this to CAT(0)-spaces and locally compact CAT(\kappa) spaces. As an application we give a construction of…

Let $1\leq p\leq q\leq\infty.$ Being motivated by the classical notions of limited, $p$-limited and coarse $p$-limited subsets of a Banach space, we introduce and study $(p,q)$-limited subsets and their equicontinuous versions and coarse…

If X is a convex-transitive Banach space and 1\leq p\leq \infty then the closed linear span of the simple functions in the Bochner space L^{p}([0,1],X) is convex-transitive. If H is an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space and C_{0}(L) is…

The famous Rosenthal-Lacey theorem asserts that for each infinite compact set $K$ the Banach space $C(K)$ admits a quotient which is either a copy of $c$ or $\ell_{2}$. What is the case when the uniform topology of $C(K)$ is replaced by the…

Let X be a compact Hausdorff space and M a metric space. E_0(X,M) is the set of f in C(X,M) such that there is a dense set of points x in X with f constant on some neighborhood of x. We describe some general classes of X for which E_0(X,M)…

We characterize Ascoli spaces by showing that a Tychonoff space $X$ is Ascoli iff the canonical map from the free locally convex space $L(X)$ over $X$ into $C_k\big(C_k(X)\big)$ is an embedding of locally convex spaces. We prove that an…

It is shown that a Banach space with locally uniformly convex dual admits an equivalent norm which is itself locally uniformly convex. It follows that on any such space all continuous real-valued functions may be uniformly approximated by…

We show that capacity can be computed with locally Lipschitz functions in locally complete and separable metric spaces. Further, we show that if $(X,d,\mu)$ is a locally complete and separable metric measure space, then continuous functions…

We prove that for any topological space $X$ of countable tightness, each \sigma-convex subspace $\F$ of the space $SC_p(X)$ of scatteredly continuous real-valued functions on $X$ has network weight $nw(\F)\le nw(X)$. This implies that for a…

We present some extensions of classical results that involve elements of the dual of Banach spaces, such as Bishop-Phelp's theorem and James' compactness theorem, but restricting to sets of functionals determined by geometrical properties.…

Let $Z$ be a fixed separable operator space, $X\subset Y$ general separable operator spaces, and $T:X\to Z$ a completely bounded map. $Z$ is said to have the Complete Separable Extension Property (CSEP) if every such map admits a completely…

We prove that the locally convex space $C_{p}(X)$ of continuous real-valued functions on a Tychonoff space $X$ equipped with the topology of pointwise convergence is distinguished if and only if $X$ is a $\Delta$-space in the sense of \cite…
