We introduce the notions of strong asymptotic uniform smoothness and convexity. We show that the injective tensor product of strongly asymptotically uniformly smooth spaces is asymptotically uniformly smooth. This applies in particular to…

We study universal approximation of continuous functionals on compact subsets of products of Hilbert spaces. We prove that any such functional can be uniformly approximated by models that first take finitely many continuous linear…

This article is a continuation of a paper of the first author \cite{F} about complex structures on real Banach spaces. We define a notion of even infinite dimensional real Banach space, and prove that there exist even spaces, including HI…

We construct a universal space for the class of proper metric spaces of bounded geometry and of given asymptotic dimension. As a consequence of this result, we establish coincidence of the asymptotic dimension with the asymptotic inductive…

A separable Banach space $X$ is said to be finitely determined if for each separable space $Y$ such that $X$ is finitely representable (f.r.) in $Y$ and $Y$ is f.r. in $X$ then $Y$ is isometric to $X$. We provide a direct proof (without…

In this note, we investigate the renorming theory of Banach spaces with property $(\beta)$ of Rolewicz. In particular, we give a "coordinate-free" proof of the fact that every Banach space with property $(\beta)$ admits an equivalent norm…

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…

In this paper we present a method to obtain Banach spaces of universal and almost-universal disposition with respect to a given class $\mathfrak M$ of normed spaces. The method produces, among other, the Gurari\u{\i} space $\mathcal G$ (the…

For any $p\in[1,\infty)$, we prove that the set of simple functions taking at most $k$ different values is proximinal in B\"ochner spaces $L^p(X)$ whenever $X$ is a dual Banach space with $w^*$-sequentially compact unit ball. With…

We prove the following new characterization of $C^p$ (Lipschitz) smoothness in Banach spaces. An infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$ has a $C^p$ smooth (Lipschitz) bump function if and only if it has another $C^p$ smooth (Lipschitz) bump…

We show that finite dimensional Banach spaces fail to be uniformly non locally almost square. Moreover, we construct an equivalent almost square bidual norm on $\ell_\infty.$ As a consequence we get that every dual Banach space containing…

Let $E$, $F$ be separable Hilbert spaces, and assume that $E$ is infinite-dimensional. We show that for every continuous mapping $f:E\to F$ and every continuous function $\varepsilon: E\to (0, \infty)$ there exists a $C^{\infty}$ mapping…

In this paper, a strong convergence theorem for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in a uniformly convex and smooth Banach space is proved by using metric projections. This theorem extends and improves the recent strong convergence…

We review various characterizations of uniform convexity and smoothness on norm balls in finite-dimensional spaces and connect results stemming from the geometry of Banach spaces with \textit{scaling inequalities} used in analysing the…

Let $1\leq p < \infty$ and $1\leq r \leq p^\ast$, where $p^\ast$ is the conjugate index of $p$. We prove an omnibus theorem, which provides numerous equivalences for a sequence $(x_n)$ in a Banach space $X$ to be a $(p,r)$-null sequence.…

The purpose of this paper is to construct a new class of separable Banach spaces $\K^p[\mathbb{B}], \; 1\leq p \leq \infty$. Each of these spaces contain the $ \mcL^p[\mathbb{B}] $ spaces, as well as the space $\mfM[\R^\iy]$, of finitely…

We consider the question whether there exists a Banach space $X$ of density continuum such that every Banach space of density not bigger than continuum isomorphically embeds into $X$ (called a universal Banach space of density $\cc$). It is…

We prove that in any Banach space the set of windows in which a rectifiable curve resembles two or more straight line segments is quantitatively small with constants that are independent of the curve, the dimension of the space, and the…

We give a new proof of a recent characterization by Diaz and Mayoral of compactness in the Lebesgue-Bochner spaces $L_X^p$, where $X$ is a Banach space and $1\le p<\infty$, and extend the result to vector-valued Banach function spaces…

We prove that finite-spectrum representations of compact quantum groups either in unital $C^*$-algebras $A$ or on Banach spaces $E$ exhibit the same Banach-space-modeled differential-geometric structure as their classical analogues: (a)…
