We consider the class of Banach space $Y$ for which $c_0$ admits a nontrivial twisted sum with $Y$. We present a characterization of such space $Y$ in terms of properties of the $weak^\ast$ topology on $Y^\ast$. We prove that under the…

We obtain two partial answers to the 3-space problem for isomorphic polyhedrality: (1) every twisted sum of $C(\alpha)$, $\alpha<\omega_1$, with a separable isomorphically polyhedral space with the BAP, is isomorphically polyhedral. (2)…

We investigate the following problem posed by Cabello Sanch\'ez, Castillo, Kalton, and Yost: Let $K$ be a nonmetrizable compact space. Does there exist a nontrivial twisted sum of $c_0$ and $C(K)$, i.e., does there exist a Banach space $X$…

We obtain a new class of compact Hausdorff spaces $K$ for which $c_0$ can be nontrivially twisted with $C(K)$.

It is known that a Banach space contains an isomorphic copy of $c_0$ if, and only if, it can be equivalently renormed to be almost square. We introduce and study transfinite versions of almost square Banach spaces with the purpose to relate…

We show that if we assume Martin's Axiom, then there exists a nontrivial twisted sum of c_0 and C(K), for every compact space K with finite height and weight at least continuum. This result settles the problem of existence of nontrivial…

In this paper, we discuss the role played by additional set-theoretic assumptions in the investigation of the existence of nontrivial twisted sums of $c_0$ and spaces of continuous functions on nonmetrizable compact Hausdorff spaces.

This paper deals with extensions or twisted sums of Banach spaces that come induced by complex interpolation and the relation between the type and cotype of the spaces in the interpolation scale and the nontriviality and singularity of the…

Let $C_b(X)$ be the C*-algebra of bounded continuous functions on some non-compact, but locally compact Hausdorff space $X$. Moreover, let $A_0$ be some ideal and $A_1$ be some unital C*-subalgebra of $C_b(X)$. For $A_0$ and $A_1$ having…

We present new methods to obtain singular twisted sums $X\oplus_\Omega X$ (i.e., exact sequences $0\to X\to X\oplus_\Omega X \to X\to 0$ in which the quotient map is strictly singular), in which $X$ is the interpolation space arising from a…

A classical result of Cembranos and Freniche states that the C(K, X) spaces contains a complemented copy of c_0 whenever K is an infinite compact Hausdorff space and X is an infinite dimensional Banach space. This paper takes this result as…

We prove that the Lipschitz-free space over a Banach space $X$ of density $\kappa$, denoted by $\mathcal{F}(X)$, is linearly isomorphic to its $\ell_1$-sum $\left(\bigoplus_{\kappa}\mathcal{F}(X)\right)_{\ell_1}$. This provides an extension…

We investigate the following general problem, closely related to the problem of isomorphic classification of Banach spaces $C(K)$ of continuous real-valued functions on a compact space $K$, equipped with the supremum norm: Let $\mathcal{K}$…

A Banach space is $c_0$-saturated if all of its closed infinite dimensional subspaces contain an isomorph of $c_0$. In this article, we study the stability of this property under the formation of direct sums and tensor products. Some of the…

For a Tychonoff space $X$ by $C_p(X)$ we denote the space $C(X)$ of continuous real valued functions on $X$ endowed with the pointwise topology. We prove that an infinite compact space $X$ is scattered if and only if every closed…

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…

We investigate the problem of classifying the Banach spaces $\mathrm{Lip}_0(C(K))$ for Hausdorff compacta $K$. In particular, sufficient conditions are established for a space $\mathrm{Lip}_0(C(K))$ to be isomorphic to…

The isometric universality of the spaces $C(K)$ for $K$ a non scattered Hausdorff compact does not take into account the ``quality'' of the representation. Indeed, the existence of an isometric copy of a separable Banach space $X$ into…

We prove that for any $\ell_\infty$-sum $Z = \bigoplus_{i \in [n]} X_i$ of finitely many strictly convex Banach spaces $(X_i)_{i \in [n]}$, an extremeness preserving 1-Lipschitz bijection $f\colon B_Z \to B_Z$ is an isometry, by…

In this paper the theory of uniformly convex metric spaces is developed. These spaces exhibit a generalized convexity of the metric from a fixed point. Using a (nearly) uniform convexity property a simple proof of reflexivity is presented…
