We show that if a Banach space X has the weak fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings and Y has the generalized Gossez-Lami Dozo property or is uniformly convex in every direction, then the direct sum of X and Y with a strictly…

In this paper, we introduce the notions uniformly p-convergent sets and weakly p-sequentially continuous differentiable mappings. Then we obtain a sufficient condition for those Banach spaces which either contain no copy of $\ell_1$ or have…

We call a bounded linear operator acting between Banach spaces weakly compactly generated ($\mathsf{WCG}$ for short) if its range is contained in a weakly compactly generated subspace of its codomain. This notion simultaneously generalises…

A compact space is said to be weakly Radon-Nikod\'ym if it is homeomorphic to a weak*-compact subset of the dual of a Banach space not containing an isomorphic copy of $\ell_1$. In this work we provide an example of a continuous image of a…

This paper brings new results on the FPP in Banach spaces $X$ with a Schauder basis. We first deal with the problem of whether there is a Banach space isomorphic to $\co$ having the FPP. We show that the answer is negative if $X$ contains a…

The $p$-Gelfand Phillips property ($1\le p<\infty$) is studied in spaces of operators. Dunford - Pettis type like sets are studied in Banach spaces. We discuss Banach spaces $X$ with the property that every $p$-convergent operator $T:X\to…

Galego and Samuel showed that if $K,L$ are metrizable, compact, Hausdorff spaces, then $C(K)\widehat{\otimes}_\pi C(L)$ is $c_0$-saturated if and only if it is subprojective if and only if $K$ and $L$ are both scattered. We remove the…

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…

A Banach space $X$ is said to have property (K) if every $w^*$-convergent sequence in $X^*$ admits a convex block subsequence which converges with respect to the Mackey topology. We study the connection of this property with strongly weakly…

We prove that the tangent bundle of an inner symmetric space $M$ of compact type is weakly complex if and only if $M$ is a Riemannian product $M_1\times...\times M_k$, each $M_i$ being an even-dimensional round sphere or Hermitian…

Given a weak distributive law between algebras underlying two weak bialgebras, we present sufficient conditions under which the corresponding weak wreath product algebra becomes a weak bialgebra with respect to the tensor product coalgebra…

We give new proofs that some Banach spaces have Pe{\l}czy\'nski's property $(V)$.

We conjecture that whenever $M$ is a metric space of density at most continuum, then the space of Lipschitz functions is $w^*$-separable. We prove the conjecture for several classes of metric spaces including all the Banach spaces with a…

We study almost squareness and the strong diameter two property in the setting of projective (symmetric) tensor product. We prove that almost squareness is preserved by taking projective tensor product, providing non-trivial examples of ASQ…

The following result was announced in the earlier version(s) of this paper: On weakly compactly generated Banach spaces which admit a Lipschitz, C^{p} smooth bump function, one can uniformly approximate uniformly continuous, bounded,…

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…

Let $X$ be a pointed compact metric space. Assuming that $\mathrm{lip}_0(X)$ has the uniform separation property, we prove that every weakly compact composition operator on spaces of Lipschitz functions $\mathrm{Lip}_0(X)$ and…

A bounded linear operator $T$ acting on a Banach space $\B$ is called weakly hypercyclic if there exists $x\in \B$ such that the orbit ${T^n x: n=0,1,...}$ is weakly dense in $\B$ and $T$ is called weakly supercyclic if there is $x\in \B$…

Let $X$ be a real or complex Banach space. Let $S(X)$ denote the unit sphere of $X$. For $x\in S(X)$, let $S_{x}=\{x^*\in S(X^*):x^*(x)=1\}$. A lot of Banach space geometry can be determined by the `quantum' of the state space $S_{x}$. In…

In this paper, we introduce a concept of norm-attainment in the projective symmetric tensor product $\widehat{\otimes}_{\pi,s,N} X$ of a Banach space $X$, which turns out to be naturally related to the classical norm-attainment of…
