We characterize real Banach spaces $Y$ such that the pair $(\ell_\infty ^n, Y)$ has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property for operators. To this purpose it is essential the use of an appropriate basis of the domain space $\R^n$. As a…

The following topics are presented in these notes: Elements of Banach algebras, Banach algebras of the form $L^1(G)$, where $G$ is a locally compact group, spectrum of elements of Banach algebras, the spectral theory of compact operators on…

We prove that a non ergodic Banach space must be near Hilbert. In particular, $\ell_p$ ($2<p<\infty$) is ergodic. This reinforces the conjecture that $\ell_2$ is the only non ergodic Banach space. As an application of our criterion for…

We prove that cocompact (and more generally: undistorted) lattices on $\tilde{A}_2$-buildings satisfy Lafforgue's strong property (T), thus exhibiting the first examples that are not related to algebraic groups over local fields. Our…

It is a longstanding problem whether every contractible Banach algebra is necessarily finite-dimensional. In this note, we confirm this for Banach algebras acting on Banach spaces with the uniform approximation property. This generalizes a…

The absolute logarithmic Weil height is well defined on the group of units of the algebraic closure of the rational numbers, modulo roots of unity, and induces a metric topology on this group. We show that the completion of this metric…

We construct a locally finite graph and a bounded geometry metric space which do not admit a quasi-isometric embedding into any uniformly convex Banach space. Connections with the geometry of $c_0$ and superreflexivity are discussed.

An L-embedded Banach spaace is a Banach space which is complemented in its bidual such that the norm is additive between the two complementary parts. On such spaces we define a topology, called an abstract measure topology, which by known…

Motivated by our study of the complex Banach conjecture, we characterize a complex ellipsoids $\mathcal E$ as compact subsets of $\mathbb C^n$, with the property that every complex line intersect $\mathcal E$ either in a single point or in…

We investigate a Grothendieck-type inequality for pairs of Banach spaces $E,F$ assuming $E$ is finite-dimensional and study the associated Grothendieck-type constant. We prove that if there is a $C >0$ such that $\|A\otimes…

An analogue of Kakutani's representation theorem for Banach lattice algebras is provided. We characterize Banach lattice algebras that embed as a closed sublattice-algebra of $C(K)$ precisely as those with a positive approximate identity…

We give a characterization of the ''uniform closure'' of the dual of a $C^{*}$-algebra. Some applications in harmonic analysis are given.

We give a positive answer to the question of K. Bouras [`Almost Dunford-Pettis sets in Banach lattices', \textit{Rend. Circ. Mat. Palermo (2)} \textbf{ 62} (2013), 227--236] concerning weak compactness of almost Dunford-Pettis sets in…

Motivated by Rosenthal's famous $l^1$-dichotomy in Banach spaces, Haydon's theorem, and additionally by recent works on tame dynamical systems, we introduce the class of tame locally convex spaces. This is a natural locally convex analogue…

We introduce and study the class of weak almost limited operators. We establish a characterization of pairs of Banach lattices $E$, $F$ for which every positive weak almost limited operator $T:E\rightarrow F$ is almost limited (resp. almost…

Motivated by classical results of Lindenstrauss and recent developments by Karn and Mandal, we investigate quotient spaces of the form $Lip_0(X)/\mathcal{A}$, where $\mathcal{A}$ is a finite-dimensional subspace, showing that these…

This paper has three parts. First, we establish some of the basic model theoretic facts about $M_{\mathcal{T}}$, the Tsirelson space of Figiel and Johnson \cite{FJ}. Second, using the results of the first part, we give some facts about…

We study (almost) limited operators in Banach lattices and their relations to L-weakly compact, semi-compact, and Dunford-Pettis operators. Several further related topics are investigated.

Let $X$ be a Banach space and $F: [0, 1] \rightarrow 2^{X} \setminus \{ \varnothing \}$ be a bounded multifunction. We study properties of the set $I(F)$ of limits in Hausdorff distance of Riemann integral sums of $F$. The main results are:…

Motivated by the Lipschitz-lifting property of Banach spaces introduced by Godefroy and Kalton, we consider the lattice-lifting property, which is an analogous notion within the category of Banach lattices and lattice homomorphisms. Namely,…
