The spaces $W_\alpha$ are the Banach spaces whose duals are isometric to $\ell_1$ and such that the standard basis of $\ell_1$ is $w^*$-convergent to $\alpha\in \ell_1$. The core result of our paper proves that an $\ell_1$-predual $X$…

The main aim of the paper is to study some quantitative aspects of the stability of the weak$^*$ fixed point property for nonexpansive maps in $\ell_1$ (shortly, $w^*$-fpp). We focus on two complementary approaches to this topic. First,…

In this paper we study the $w^*$-fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings. First we show that the dual space $X^*$ lacks the $w^*$-fixed point property whenever $X$ contains an isometric copy of the space $c$. Then, the main result of…

The aim of this paper is to study the $w^*$-fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings in the duals of separable Lindenstrauss spaces by means of suitable geometrical properties of the dual ball. First we show that a property concerning…

In this paper the weak fixed point property ($w$-FPP) and the fixed point property (FPP) in Variable Lebesgue Spaces are studied. Given $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ a $\sigma$-finite measure and $p(\cdot)$ a variable exponent function, the $w$-FPP…

The main aim of the present paper is to investigate various structural properties of hyperplanes of $c$, the Banach space of the convergent sequences. In particular, we give an explicit formula for the projection constants and we prove that…

A nonempty closed convex bounded subset $C$ of a Banach space is said to have the weak approximate fixed point property if for every continuous map $f:C\to C$ there is a sequence $\{x_n\}$ in $C$ such that $x_n-f(x_n)$ converge weakly to 0.…

A space X has the local fixed point property LFPP, (local periodic point property LPPP) if it has an open basis $\mathcal{B}$ such that, for each $B\in \mathcal{B}$, the closure $\overline{B}$ has the fixed (periodic) point property. Weaker…

For a bounded closed convex set $K$, in this note, we study the FPP for $\alpha$-H\"older nonexpansive maps, i.e. mappings $T\colon K\to K$ for which $\|T x -Ty\| \leq\| x - y\|^\alpha$ for all $x, y\in K$, $\alpha\in (0,1)$. First, we note…

This article aims to examine the Hahn-Banach smoothness of Banach spaces and its connections to various geometrical aspects. We examine the circumstances that allow linear functionals to have unique norm-preserving extensions, with…

Let $K$ be a nonempty subset of a Banach space $X$. A mapping $T\colon K\to K$ is called $\mathfrak{cm}$-nonexpansive if for any sequence $(u_i)_{i=1}^\infty$ and $y$ in $K$, $\limsup_{i\to\infty} \sup_{A\subset\{1,\dots, n\}}\|\sum_{k\in…

Let $X$ be a Banach space and let $C$ be a closed convex bounded subset of $X$. It is proved that $C$ is weakly compact if, and only if, $C$ has the {it generic} fixed point property ($\mathcal{G}$-FPP) for the class of $L$-bi-Lipschitz…

About twenty years ago Johnson and Zippin showed that every separable L_1(mu)-predual was isometric to a quotient of C(Delta ), where Delta is the Cantor set. In this note we will show that the natural analogue of the theorem for…

For a Hausdorff space $X$, we exhibit an unexpected connection between the sectional number of the Fadell-Neuwirth fibration $\pi_{2,1}^X:F(X,2)\to X$, and the fixed point property (FPP) for self-maps on $X$. Explicitly, we demonstrate that…

First we prove that if a separable Banach space $X$ contains an isometric copy of an infinite-dimensional space $A(S)$ of affine continuous functions on a Choquet simplex $S$, then its dual $X^*$ lacks the weak$^*$ fixed point property for…

In this paper we show that if $(y_n)$ is a seminormalized sequence in a Banach space which does not have any weakly convergent subsequence, then it contains a wide-$(s)$ subsequence $(x_n)$ which admits an equivalent convex basic sequence.…

We prove, among other results, that three standard measures of weak non-compactness coincide in preduals of JBW$^*$-triples. This result is new even for preduals of von Neumann algebras. We further provide a characterization of…

We study the problem of existence of preduals of locally convex Hausdorff spaces. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a predual with certain properties of a bornological locally convex Hausdorff space $X$.…

An isomorphic (\ell_1)-predual space (X) is constructed such that neither (X) is isomorphic to a subspace of (c_0), nor (C(\omega^\omega)) is isomorphic to a subspace of (X). It follows that (X) is not isomorphic to a complemented subspace…

For a locally compact group $G$, the measure convolution algebra $M(G)$ carries a natural coproduct. In previous work, we showed that the canonical predual $C_0(G)$ of $M(G)$ is the unique predual which makes both the product and the…
