A Banach space $X$ is said to have the Daugavet property if every operator $T: X\to X$ of rank~$1$ satisfies $\|Id+T\| = 1+\|T\|$. We show that then every weakly compact operator satisfies this equation as well and that $X$ contains a copy…

We study the property of being strongly weakly compactly generated (and some relatives) in projective tensor products of Banach spaces. Our main result is as follows. Let $1<p,q<\infty$ be such that $1/p+1/q\geq 1$. Let $X$ (resp., $Y$) be…

We prove that the norm of $X\widehat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ is SSD if either $X=\ell_p(I)$ for $p>2$ and $Y$ is a finite-dimensional Banach space such that the modulus of convexity is of power type $q<p$ (e.g. if $Y^*$ is a subspace of $L_q$) or…

We show that if $T$ is a narrow operator on $X=X_{1}\oplus_{1} X_{2}$ or $X=X_{1}\oplus_{\infty} X_{2}$, then the restrictions to $X_{1}$ and $X_{2}$ are narrow and conversely. We also characterise by a version of the Daugavet property for…

We introduce slicely countably determined points (SCD points) of a bounded and convex subset of a Banach space which extends the notions of denting points, strongly regular points and much more. We completely characterize SCD points in the…

Given two Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, we analyze when the projective tensor product $X\widehat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ has Corson's property (C) or is weakly Lindel\"of determined (WLD), subspace of a weakly compactly generated (WCG) space or…

Let $X$ be a Banach space. We introduce a formal approach which seems to be useful in the study of those properties of operators on $X$ which depend only on the norms of images of elements. This approach is applied to the Daugavet equation…

An operator $G : \allowbreak X \to Y$ is said to be a Daugavet center if $\|G + T\| = \|G\| + \|T\|$ for every rank-1 operator $T : \allowbreak X \to Y$. The main result of the paper is: if $G : \allowbreak X \to Y$ is a Daugavet center,…

We give a sufficient condition for a pair of Banach spaces $(X,Y)$ to have the following property: whenever $W_1 \subseteq X$ and $W_2 \subseteq Y$ are sets such that $\{x\otimes y: \, x\in W_1, \, y\in W_2\}$ is weakly precompact in the…

A norm one element $x$ of a Banach space is a Daugavet-point (respectively, a $\Delta$-point) if every slice of the unit ball (respectively, every slice of the unit ball containing $x$) contains an element, which is almost at distance 2…

We introduce the super alternative Daugavet property (super ADP) which lies strictly between the Daugavet property and the Alternative Daugavet property as follows. A Banach space $X$ has the super ADP if for every element $x$ in the unit…

We study the almost Daugavet property, a generalization of the Daugavet property. It is analysed what kind of subspaces and sums of Banach spaces with the almost Daugavet property have this property as well. The main result of the paper is:…

In contrast with the separable case, we prove that the existence of almost $L$-orthogonal vectors in a nonseparable Banach space $X$ (octahedrality) does not imply the existence of nonzero vectors in $X^{**}$ being $L$-orthogonal to $X$,…

We introduce extensions of $\Delta$-points and Daugavet points in which slices are replaced by relative weakly open subsets (super $\Delta$-points and super Daugavet points) or by convex combinations of slices (ccs $\Delta$-points and ccs…

The aim of this note is to prove that, given two superreflexive Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, then $X\widehat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ is superreflexive if and only if either $X$ or $Y$ is finite-dimensional. In a similar way, we prove that…

We study those Banach spaces $X$ for which $S_X$ does not admit a finite $\eps$-net consisting of elements of $S_X$ for any $\eps < 2$. We give characterisations of this class of spaces in terms of $\ell_1$-type sequences and in terms of…

The aim of this note is to obtain results about when the norm of a projective tensor product is strongly subdifferentiable. We prove that if $X\hat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ is strongly subdifferentiable and either $X$ or $Y$ has the metric…

In this paper, we introduce a concept of norm-attainment in the projective symmetric tensor product $\widehat{\otimes}_{\pi,s,N} X$ of a Banach space $X$, which turns out to be naturally related to the classical norm-attainment of…

We continue the investigation of the behaviour of octahedral norms in tensor products of Banach spaces. Firstly, we will prove the existence of a Banach space $Y$ such that the injective tensor products $l_1\widehat{\otimes}_\varepsilon Y$…

We construct a Banach space $X$ with the r-BSP such that the infimum of the diameter of the slices of the unit ball is $1$, which gives negative answer to a 2006 question by Y. Ivakhno in an extreme way. This example is performed by…
