A Banach space $X$ is said to have the Daugavet property if every rank-one operator $T:X\longrightarrow X$ satisfies $\|Id + T\| = 1 + \|T\|$. We give geometric characterizations of this property in the settings of $C^*$-algebras,…
In this note, we prove that the Daugavet property implies the polynomial Daugavet property, solving a longstanding open problem in the field. Our approach is based on showing that a geometric characterization of the Daugavet property due to…
A Banach space $X$ is said to have the alternative Daugavet property if for every (bounded and linear) rank-one operator $T:X\longrightarrow X$ there exists a modulus one scalar $\omega$ such that $\|Id + \omega T\|= 1 + \|T\|$. We give…
Let X be a closed subspace of a Banach space Y and J be the inclusion map. We say that the pair (X,Y) has the Daugavet property if for every rank one bounded linear operator T from X to Y the following equality \|J+T\|=1+\|T\| holds. A new…
We show that the duals of Banach algebras of scalar-valued bounded holomorphic functions on the open unit ball $B_E$ of a Banach space $E$ lack weak$^*$-strongly exposed points. Consequently, we obtain that some Banach algebras of…
Let $T\dopu C(S)\to C(S)$ be a bounded linear operator. We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the so-called Daugavet equation $$ \|\Id+T\| = 1+\|T\| $$ to hold, and we apply it to weakly compact operators and to operators…
We prove that every weak-local triple derivation on a JB$^*$-triple $E$ (i.e. a linear map $T: E\to E$ such that for each $\phi \in E^*$ and each $a\in E$, there exists a triple derivation $\delta_{a,\phi} : E\to E$, depending on $\phi$ and…
The aim of this note is to study \v{C}eby\v{s}\"ev JB$^*$-subtriples of general JB$^*$-triples. It is established that if $F$ is a non-zero \v{C}eby\v{s}\"ev JB$^*$-subtriple of a JB$^*$-triple $E$, then exactly one of the following…
We prove that a Le Page-type inequality is also valid for metrically characterizing those JB$^*$-triples that are commutative. More precisely, we establish that the following statements are equivalent for any JB$^*$-triple $E$: $(a)$ $E$ is…
We extend the Daugavet property and a perfect version of it to transfinite cardinals in order to distinguish between spaces with the ordinary Daugavet property by some kind of complexity (topological, density\ldots), providing a number of…
We prove that every commutative JB$^*$-triple satisfies the complex Mazur--Ulam property. Thanks to the representation theory, we can identify commutative JB$^*$-triples as spaces of complex-valued continuous functions on a principal…
A Banach space $X$ is said to have the Daugavet property if every operator $T: X\to X$ of rank~$1$ satisfies $\|Id+T\| = 1+\|T\|$. We show that then every weakly compact operator satisfies this equation as well and that $X$ contains a copy…
We consider a general concept of Daugavet property with respect to a norming subspace. This concept covers both the usual Daugavet property and its weak$^*$ analogue. We introduce and study analogues for narrow operators and rich subspaces…
We prove that every commutative JB$^*$-triple has numerical index one. We also revisit the notion of commutativity in JB$^*$-triples to show that a JBW$^*$-triple $M$ has numerical index one precisely when it is commutative, while…
A Banach space $X$ has the Daugavet property if the Daugavet equation $\|\Id + T\|= 1 + \|T\|$ holds for every rank-one operator $T:X \longrightarrow X$. We show that the most natural attempts to introduce new properties by considering…
We give a number of equivalent conditions (including weak centrality) for a general $C^*$-algebra to have the centre-quotient property. We show that every $C^*$-algebra $A$ has a largest weakly central ideal $J_{wc}(A)$. For an ideal $I$ of…
The main goal of this paper is to introduce and explore an appropriate notion of weakly Rickart JB$^*$-triples. We introduce weakly order Rickart JB$^*$-triples, and we show that a C$^*$-algebra $A$ is a weakly (order) Rickart JB$^*$-triple…
For a compact metric space $K$ the space $\Lip(K)$ has the Daugavet property if and only if the norm of every $f \in \Lip(K)$ is attained locally. If $K$ is a subset of an $L_p$-space, $1<p<\infty$, this is equivalent to the convexity of…
This article is about polynomial maps with a certain symmetry and/or antisymmetry in their Jacobians, and whether the Jacobian Conjecture is satisfied for such maps, or whether it is sufficient to prove the Jacobian Conjecture for such…
We show that the predual of a JBW$^*$-triple has the weak Banach-Saks property, that is, reflexive subspaces of a JBW$^*$-triple predual are super-reflexive. We also prove that JBW$^*$-triple preduals satisfy the Koml\'os property (which…
