A Banach space $X$ is said to have the ball generated property (BGP) if every closed, bounded, convex subset of $X$ can be written as an intersection of finite unions of closed balls. In 2002 S. Basu proved that the BGP is stable under…

We study when diameter two properties pass down to subspaces. We obtain that the slice two property (respectively diameter two property, strong diameter two property) passes down from a Banach space $X$ to a subspace $Y$ whenever $Y$ is…

We prove that if X is an infinite dimensional Banach lattice with a weak unit then there exists a probability space (Omega, Sigma,mu) so that the unit sphere S(L_1(Omega, Sigma, mu) is uniformly homeomorphic to the unit sphere S(X) if and…

A gauge $\gamma$ in a vector space $X$ is a distance function given by the Minkowski functional associated to a convex body $K$ containing the origin in its interior. Thus, the outcoming concept of gauge spaces $(X, \gamma)$ extends that of…

A separable Banach space X contains $\ell_1$ isomorphically if and only if X has a bounded wc_0^*-stable biorthogonal system. The dual of a separable Banach space X fails the Schur property if and only if X has a bounded wc_0^*-biorthogonal…

We call a closed subset M of a Banach space X a free basis of X if it contains the null vector and every Lipschitz map from M to a Banach space Y, which preserves the null vectors can be uniquely extended to a bounded linear map from X to…

We investigate the following property for Banach spaces. A Banach space $X$ satisfies the Uniform Approximation on Large Subspaces (UALS) if there exists $C>0$ with the following property: for any $A\in\mathcal{L}(X)$ and convex compact…

Another proof that uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces have the fixed point property is presented.

In this work, we introduce the notion of Ball dentable property in Banach spaces. We study certain stability results for the $w^*$-Ball dentable property leading to a discussion on Ball dentability in the context of ideals of Banach spaces.…

A Banach space is locally almost square if, for every $y$ in its unit sphere, there exists a sequence $(x_n)$ in its unit sphere such that $\lim\|y\pm x_n\|=1$. A Banach space is weakly almost square if, in addition, we require the sequence…

In this paper, we study several variants of Hahn-Banach smoothness, viz., property-$(SU)$/$(HB)$/$(wU)$, where property-$(SU)$ and property-$(HB)$ are stronger notions and property-$(wU)$ is a weaker notion of Hahn-Banach smoothness. We…

We characterise those Banach spaces $X$ which satisfy that $L(Y,X)$ is octahedral for every non-zero Banach space $Y$. They are those satisfying that, for every finite dimensional subspace $Z$, $\ell_\infty$ can be finitely-representable in…

A banach space X is a normed vector space, which is complete with respect to the metric induced by the norm. Given a bounded linear operator T acting on a banach space X, T is said to attain its norm if there is a unit vector z in X, such…

Given a separable Banach space $E$, we construct an extremely non-complex Banach space (i.e. a space satisfying that $\|Id + T^2\|=1+\|T^2\|$ for every bounded linear operator $T$ on it) whose dual contains $E^*$ as an $L$-summand. We also…

We prove that, given any covering of any separable infinite-dimensional uniformly rotund and uniformly smooth Banach space $X$ by closed balls each of positive radius, some point exists in $X$ which belongs to infinitely many balls.

We present an equivalent midpoint locally uniformly rotund (MLUR) renorming $X$ of $C[0,1]$ on which every weakly compact projection $P$ satisfies the equation $\|I-P\| = 1+\|P\|$ ($I$ is the identity operator on $X$). As a consequence we…

In this note we study the inheritance of the slice diameter two property by ultrapower spaces. Given a Banach space $X$, we give a characterisation of when $(X)_\mathcal U$, the ultrapower of $X$ through a free ultrafilter $\mathcal U$, has…

Let $E$ be a $(\mathrm{IV})$-polyhedral Banach space. We show that, for each $\epsilon>0$, $E$ admits an $\epsilon$-equivalent $\mathrm{(V)}$-polyhedral norm such that the corresponding closed unit ball is the closed convex hull of its…

We address some open problems concerning Banach spaces of real-valued Lipschitz functions. Specifically, we prove that the diameter two properties differ from their weak-star counterparts in these spaces. In particular, we establish the…

We introduce a vector-valued version of a uniform algebra, called the vector-valued function space over a uniform algebra. The diameter two properties of the vector-valued function space over a uniform algebra on an infinite compact…
