A. Szankowski's example is used to construct a Banach space similar to that of "An example of an asymptotically Hilbertian space which fails the approximation property", P.G. Casazza, C.L. Garc\'{\i}a, W.B. Johnson [math.FA/0006134…

We continue the study initiated in [F. Albiac and P. Wojtaszczyk, Characterization of $1$-greedy bases, J. Approx. Theory 138 (2006), no. 1, 65-86] of properties related to greedy bases in the case when the constants involved are sharp,…

In this paper, we show that for each lattice basis, there exists an equivalent basis which we describe as ``strongly reduced''. We show that bases reduced in this manner exhibit rather ``short'' basis vectors, that is, the length of the…

Given an approximately continuous function $f$ in an Orlicz space $L^\Phi([a,b]),$ for a suitable class of convex functions $\Phi,$ we employ a characterization of the best monotone approximation set to establish its continuity, which in…

Let B be a unital Banach algebra. A projection in B which is equivalent to the identitity may give rise to a matrix-like structure on any two-sided ideal A in B. In this set-up we prove a theorem to the effect that the bounded Hochschild…

A Banach space $X$ with a Schauder basis is defined to have the restricted quotient hereditarily indecomposable (QHI) property if $X/Y$ is hereditarily indecomposable (HI) for any infinite codimensional subspace $Y$ with a successive…

We construct a Banach space satisfying that the nearest point map (also called proximity mapping or metric projection) onto any compact and convex subset is continuous but not uniformly continuous. The space we construct is locally…

Given a Schauder basic sequence $(x_k)$ in a Banach lattice, we say that $(x_k)$ is bibasic if the expansion of every vector in $[x_k]$ converges not only in norm, but also in order. We prove that, in this definition, order convergence may…

In a previous paper (see arXiv:1003.3411 [math.CA]), we investigated the existence of an element x of a quasi-Banach space X whose errors of best approximation by a given approximation scheme (A_n) (defined by E(x,A_n) = \inf_{a \in A_n}…

Reiner, Shaw and van Willigenburg showed that if two skew Schur functions s_A and s_B are equal, then the skew shapes A and B must have the same "row overlap partitions." Here we show that these row overlap equalities are also implied by a…

Let $H$ be an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. We prove that every unconditional Schauder frame for $H$ contains a subsequence that can be normalized to form a frame for $H$. As a consequence, every semi-normalized unconditional Schauder…

We show examples of compact linear operators between Banach spaces which cannot be approximated by norm attaining operators. This is the negative answer to an open question posed in the 1970's. Actually, any strictly convex Banach space…

Using methods of descriptive set theory, in particular, the determinacy of infinite games of perfect information, we answer several questions from the literature regarding different notions of bases in Banach spaces and lattices. For the…

We prove several dichotomies on linear embeddings between Banach spaces. Given an arbitrary Banach space X with a basis, we show that the relations of isomorphism and bi-embedding are meager or co-meager on the Polish set of block-subspaces…

We study the interplay between Banach space theory and theory of analytic P-ideals. Applying the observation that, up to isomorphism, all Banach spaces with unconditional bases can be constructed in a way very similar to the construction of…

In this paper we present a rare combination of abstract results on the spectral properties of slanted matrices and some of their very specific applications to frame theory and sampling problems. We show that for a large class of slanted…

We construct two counterexamples that resolve long-standing open problems on greedy approximation theory with respect to bases, posed in [F. Albiac et al., Dissertationes Math. 560 (2021)] and restated in [F. Albiac, J. L. Ansorena, V.…

It is proved that if a Banach space $Y$ is a quotient of a Banach space having a shrinking unconditional basis, then every normalized weakly null sequence in $Y$ has an unconditional subsequence. The proof yields the corollary that every…

We characterize the weak-star point of continuity property for subspaces of dual spaces with separable predual and we deduce that the weak-star point of continuity property is determined by subspaces with a Schauder basis in the natural…

A projectional skeleton in a Banach space is a sigma-directed family of projections onto separable subspaces, covering the entire space. The class of Banach spaces with projectional skeletons is strictly larger than the class of Plichko…
