In this short note, we prove that the set of elementary tensors is weakly closed in the projective tensor product of two Banach spaces. As a result, we are able to answer a question from the literature proving that if $(x_n) \subset X$ and…

We give a sufficient condition for a pair of Banach spaces $(X,Y)$ to have the following property: whenever $W_1 \subseteq X$ and $W_2 \subseteq Y$ are sets such that $\{x\otimes y: \, x\in W_1, \, y\in W_2\}$ is weakly precompact in the…

Given a bounded convex subset $C$ of a Banach space $X$ and a free ultrafilter $\mathcal U$, we study which points $(x_i)_\mathcal U$ are extreme points of the ultrapower $C_\mathcal U$ in $X_\mathcal U$. In general, we obtain that when…

We study the property of being strongly weakly compactly generated (and some relatives) in projective tensor products of Banach spaces. Our main result is as follows. Let $1<p,q<\infty$ be such that $1/p+1/q\geq 1$. Let $X$ (resp., $Y$) be…

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…

The main results of the paper: {\bf (1)} The dual Banach space $X^*$ contains a linear subspace $A\subset X^*$ such that the set $A^{(1)}$ of all limits of weak$^*$ convergent bounded nets in $A$ is a proper norm-dense subset of $X^*$ if…

The aim of this note is to prove that, given two superreflexive Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, then $X\widehat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ is superreflexive if and only if either $X$ or $Y$ is finite-dimensional. In a similar way, we prove that…

Given two Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, we analyze when the projective tensor product $X\widehat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ has Corson's property (C) or is weakly Lindel\"of determined (WLD), subspace of a weakly compactly generated (WCG) space or…

We prove that the norm of $X\widehat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ is SSD if either $X=\ell_p(I)$ for $p>2$ and $Y$ is a finite-dimensional Banach space such that the modulus of convexity is of power type $q<p$ (e.g. if $Y^*$ is a subspace of $L_q$) or…

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.…

We introduce and study Banach spaces which have property CWO, i.e., every finite convex combination of relatively weakly open subsets of their unit ball is open in the relative weak topology of the unit ball. Stability results of such…

We prove that a closed convex subset of a Banach space is (super-)weakly compact if and only if it is (super)-ergodic. As a consequence we deduce that super weakly compact sets are characterized by the fixed point property for continuous…

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 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…

In this paper the weak topology on a normed space is studied from the viewpoint of infinite-dimensional topology. Besides the weak topology on a normed space $X$ (coinciding with the topology of uniform convergence on finite subsets of the…

For a Banach space $X$ by $Conv_H(X)$ we denote the space of non-empty closed convex subsets of $X$, endowed with the Hausdorff metric. We prove that for any closed convex set $C\subset X$ and its metric component $H_C=\{A\in…

We explore extreme contractions between finite-dimensional polygonal Banach spaces, from the point of view of attainment of norm of a linear operator. We prove that if $ X $ is an $ n- $dimensional polygonal Banach space and $ Y $ is any…

For any complex Banach space $X$, let $J$ denote the duality mapping of $X$. For any unit vector $x$ in $X$ and any ($C_0$) contraction semigroup $(T_t)_{t>0}$ on $X$, Baillon and Guerre-Delabriere proved that if $X$ is a smooth reflexive…

The aim of this note is to obtain results about when the norm of a projective tensor product is strongly subdifferentiable. We prove that if $X\hat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ is strongly subdifferentiable and either $X$ or $Y$ has the metric…

Our main result is the following: {\it Let $E$ be a Banach space and $D$ be a weakly compact subset of $E$ with $0\notin D$. If $A$ is a bounded subset of $E$ such that every $x^*\in E^*$ with $x^*(D) >0$ attains its supremum on $A$, then…
