It is shown that for any W weakly compact set of a real Banach space X, the set $L_\infty(\mu ,W)$ is N-simultaneously proximinal in $L_\infty(\mu ,X)$ for arbitrary monotonous norm N in $\mathbb{R}^n$.

Let $X$ be a Banach space. For $x \in X$ with $\|x\| = 1$, we denote the state space by $S_x = \{x^* \in X^* : \|x^*\| = x^*(x) = 1\}.$ In this paper, we study weak$^*$-weak and weak$^*$-$\|\cdot\|$ points of continuity of the identity map…

The paper is devoted to the convex-set counterpart of the theory of weak$^*$ derived sets initiated by Banach and Mazurkiewicz for subspaces. The main result is the following: For every nonreflexive Banach space $X$ and every countable…

We study the different ways in which a weakly compact set can generate a Banach lattice. Among other things, it is shown that in an order continuous Banach lattice $X$, the existence of a weakly compact set $K \subset X$ such that $X$…

We prove that a closed convex subset of a Banach space is (super-)weakly compact if and only if it is (super)-ergodic. As a consequence we deduce that super weakly compact sets are characterized by the fixed point property for continuous…

We study Banach spaces with a weak stable unit ball, that is Banach spaces where every convex combination of relatively weakly open subsets in its unit ball is again a relatively weakly open subset in its unit ball. It is proved that the…

Let $ E $ be a space of holomorphic functions on the unit ball $ B_X $ of a Banach space $ X.$ In this work, we introduce a Banach structure associated to $ E $ on the linear space $ WE(Y) $ containing $ Y$-valued holomorphic functions on $…

It is shown that if a Banach space X has the weak Banach-Saks property and the weak fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings and Y satisfies property asymptotic (P) (which is weaker than the condition WCS(Y)>1), then the direct sum of…

We show a way of constructing projectional skeletons using the concept of rich families in Banach spaces which admit a projectional generator. Our next result is that a Banach space $X$ is Asplund and weakly compactly generated if and only…

We show that for infinite Tychonoff spaces X and Y the weak*-dual of Ck(X x Y) contains a basic sequence; moreover, the weak*-bidual of Ck(X) contains such a sequence as well. When X and Y are infinite compact spaces, we single out a…

We define and study asymptotically symmetric Banach spaces (a.s.) and its variations: weakly a.s. (w.a.s.) and weakly normalized a.s. (w.n.a.s.). If X is a.s. then all spreading models of X are uniformly symmetric. We show that the converse…

A wide new class of subsets of a Banach space $X$ named coarse $p$-limited sets ($ 1\leq p < \infty$) is introduced by considering weak* $p$-summable sequences in $X'$ instead of weak* null sequences. We study its basic properties and…

For a Banach space $X$ its subset $Y\subseteq X$ is called overcomplete if $|Y|=dens(X)$ and $Z$ is linearly dense in $X$ for every $Z\subseteq Y$ with $|Z|=|Y|$. In the context of nonseparable Banach spaces this notion was introduced…

Let $X$ be a Banach space with separable dual. It is proved that for every $\varepsilon\in (0,1)$, $X$ embeds isometrically into a Banach space $W$ with a shrinking basis $(w_n)$ which is $(1+ \varepsilon)$-monotone. Moreover, if $X$ has…

We continue to study (strong) property-$(R_1)$ in Banach spaces. As discussed by Pai \& Nowroji in [{\it On restricted centers of sets}, J. Approx. Theory, {\bf 66}(2), 170--189 (1991)], this study corresponds to a triplet…

Let $M$ be a compact subset of a superreflexive Banach space. We prove that the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal{F}(M)$, the predual of the Banach space of Lipschitz functions on $M$, has the Pe{\l}czy\'nski's property ($V^\ast$). As a…

A theorem of Davis, Figiel, Johnson and Pe{\l}czy\'nski tells us that weakly-compact operators between Banach spaces factor through reflexive Banach spaces. The machinery underlying this result is that of the real interpolation method,…

We prove that given a locally compact Hausdorff space, $K$, and a compact C$^*$-algebra, $\mathcal{A}$, the C$^*$-algebra $C(K, \mathcal{A})$ satisfies that every convex combination of slices of the closed unit ball is relatively weakly…

Let $X$ be a Banach space and $Y \subseteq X$ be a closed subspace. We prove that if the quotient $X/Y$ is weakly Lindel\"{o}f determined or weak Asplund, then for every $w^*$-convergent sequence $(y_n^*)_{n\in \mathbb N}$ in $Y^*$ there…

We consider the cardinal invariant CG(X) of the minimal number of weakly compact subsets which generate a Banach space X. We study the behavior of this index when passing to subspaces, its relation with the Lindelof number in the weak…
