James Tree Space ($\mathcal{JT}$), introduced by R. James, is the first Banach space constructed having non-separable conjugate and not containing $\ell^1$. James actually proved that every infinite dimensional subspace of $\mathcal{JT}$…

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…

In the present work we provide a variety of examples of HI Banach spaces containing no reflexive subspace and we study the structure of their duals as well as the spaces of their linear bounded operators. Our approach is based on saturated…

A Hereditarily Indecomposable asymptotic $\ell_2$ Banach space is constructed. The existence of such a space answers a question of B. Maurey and verifies a conjecture of W.T. Gowers.

In this note, we study the geometry of the unit ball of the Banach space generated by the adequate family of all subsets of branches of the infinite binary tree, and answer several open questions related to slicely countably determined…

In the first part of the paper we show that every closed subspace of $JT$ or $JT^*$ contains $\ell_2$ complemented in $JT$ or $JT^*$ respectively, and $JT$ contains uncomplemented copies of $\ell_2$. As a result, the predual $\B$ of $JT$,…

We address the existence of non-trivial closed invariant subspaces of operators $T$ on Banach spaces whenever their square $T^2$ have or, more generally, whether there exists a polynomial $p$ with $\mbox{deg}(p)\geq 2$ such that the lattice…

We introduce and investigate a class of non-separable tree-like Banach spaces. As a consequence, we prove that we can not achieve a satisfactory extension of Rosenthal's $\ell_1$-theorem to spaces of the type $\ell_1(\kappa)$, for $\kappa$…

We discuss renorming properties of the dual of a James tree space JT. We present examples of weakly Lindelof determined JT such that JT* admits neither strictly convex nor Kadec renorming and of weakly compactly generated JT such that JT*…

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…

Given a map $f \colon E \longrightarrow F$ between Banach spaces (or Banach lattices), a set $A$ of $E$-valued bounded sequences, ${\bf x} \in A$ and a vector topology $\tau$ on $F$, we investigate the existence of an infinite dimensional…

We investigate questions of maximal symmetry in Banach spaces and the structure of certain bounded non-unitarisable groups on Hilbert space. In particular, we provide structural information about bounded groups with an essentially unique…

An infinite dimensional notion of asymptotic structure is considered. This notion is developed in terms of trees and branches on Banach spaces. Every countably infinite countably branching tree $\mathcal T$ of a certain type on a space X is…

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.…

In this note we prove that the Kalton interlaced graphs do not equi-coarsely embed into the James space $\mathcal J$ nor into its dual $\mathcal J^*$. It is a particular case of a more general result on the non equi-coarse embeddability of…

We carry out a systematic study of decidability for theories of (a) real vector spaces, inner product spaces, and Hilbert spaces and (b) normed spaces, Banach spaces and metric spaces, all formalised using a 2-sorted first-order language.…

We provide three new examples of twisted Hilbert spaces by considering properties that are "close" to Hilbert. We denote them $Z(\mathcal J)$, $Z(\mathcal S^2)$ and $Z(\mathcal T_s^2)$. The first space is asymptotically Hilbertian but not…

A new hierarchy of Banach spaces $T_k(d,\theta)$, $k$ any positive integer, is constructed using barriers in high dimensional Ellentuck spaces \cite{DobrinenJSL15} following the classical framework under which a Tsirelson type norm is…

We construct a hereditarily indecomposable Banach space with dual isomorphic to $\ell_1$. Every bounded linear operator on this space has the form $\lambda I+K$ with $\lambda$ a scalar and $K$ compact.

This paper extends topics in linear algebra and operator theory for linear transformations on complex vector spaces to those on bicomplex Hilbert and Banach spaces. For example, Definition 3 for the first time defines a bicomplex vector…
