For infinite products of compact spaces, Tychonoff's theorem asserts that their product is compact, in the product topology. Tychonoff's theorem is shown to be equivalent to the axiom of choice. In this paper, we show that any countable…
Let $X$ be a reflexive Banach space such that for any $x \ne 0$ the set $$ \{x^* \in X^*: \text {$\|x^*\|=1$ and $x^*(x)=\|x\|$}\} $$ is compact. We prove that any unrestricted product of of a finite number of $(W)$ contractions on $X$…
We introduce a Bochner integral approach to projective norm attainment in tensor products of Banach spaces by defining the class of integral projective norm-attaining tensors. This framework provides a broader, measure-theoretic approach to…
A proto-quantum space is a (general) matricially normed space in the sense of Effros and Ruan presented in a `matrix-free' language. We show that these spaces have a special (projective) tensor product possessing the universal property with…
Let $X$ be an infinite compact metric space with finite covering dimension and let $\alpha, \beta : X\to X$ be two minimal homeomorphisms. We prove that the crossed product $C^*$-algebras $C(X)\rtimes_\alpha\Z$ and $C(X)\rtimes_\belta\Z$…
We show that the symmetric injective tensor product space $\hat{\otimes}_{n,s,\epsilon}E$ is not complex strictly convex if E is a complex Banach space of $\dim E \ge 2$ and if $n\ge 2$ holds. It is also reproved that $\ell_\infty$ is…
A complete contraction on a C*-algebra A, which preserves all closed two sided ideals J, can be approximated pointwise by elementary complete contractions if and only if the induced map on the tensor product of B with A/J is contractive for…
In this paper, we are interested in studying when an element $z$ in the projective tensor product $X \widehat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ turns out to be a Daugavet point. We prove first that, under some hypothesis, the assumption of $X…
We study the representation of non-weakly compact operators between $AL$-spaces. In this setting, we show that every operator admits a best approximant in the ideal of weakly compact operators. Using duality arguments, we extend this result…
The tensorization problem for Sobolev spaces asks for a characterization of how the Sobolev space on a product metric measure space $X\times Y$ can be determined from its factors. We show that two natural descriptions of the Sobolev space…
A topological space is iso-dense if it has a dense set of isolated points. A topological space is scattered if each of its non-empty subspaces has an isolated point. In $\mathbf{ZF}$, in the absence of the axiom of choice, basic properties…
We show that if $x$ is a strongly extreme point of a bounded closed convex subset of a Banach space and the identity has a geometrically and topologically good enough local approximation at $x$, then $x$ is already a denting point. It turns…
It is shown that a separable Banach space $X$ can be given an equivalent norm $|\!|\!|\cdot |\!|\!|$ with the following properties:\quad If $(x_n)\subseteq X$ is relatively weakly compact and $\lim_{m\to\infty} \lim_{n\to\infty}\break…
A topological space $X$ has the strong Pytkeev property at a point $x\in X$ if there exists a countable family $\mathcal N$ of subsets of $X$ such that for each neighborhood $O_x\subset X$ and subset $A\subset X$ accumulating at $x$, there…
No convenient internal characterization of spaces that are productively Lindelof is known. Perhaps the best general result known is Alster's internal characterization, under the Continuum Hypothesis, of productively Lindelof spaces which…
We study unital operator spaces endowed with a partially defined product. We give a matrix-norm characterization of such products that allows for a representation theorem where the partial product is realized as composition of operators on…
We give a characterization of the operators on the injective tensor product $E \hat{\otimes}_\varepsilon X$ for any separable Banach space $E$ and any (non-separable) Banach space $X$ with few operators, in the sense that any operator $T: X…
We prove that the locally convex space $C_{p}(X)$ of continuous real-valued functions on a Tychonoff space $X$ equipped with the topology of pointwise convergence is distinguished if and only if $X$ is a $\Delta$-space in the sense of \cite…
E. Oja, T. Viil, and D. Werner showed, in [Totally smooth renormings, Archiv der Mathematik, 112, 3, (2019), 269--281] that a weakly compactly generated Banach space $(X,\|\cdot \|)$ with the property that every linear functional on $X$ has…
We introduce the notions of almost Lipschitz embeddability and nearly isometric embeddability. We prove that for $p\in [1,\infty]$, every proper subset of $L_p$ is almost Lipschitzly embeddable into a Banach space $X$ if and only if $X$…
