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…

In this note various geometric properties of a Banach space $X$ are characterized by means of weaker corresponding geometric properties involving an ultrapower $X^\mathcal{U}$. The characterizations do not depend on the particular choice of…

For A a separable unital C*-algebra and M a separable McDuff II_1-factor, we show that the space Hom_w(A,M) of weak approximate unitary equivalence classes of unital *-homomorphisms A \rightarrow M may be considered as a closed, bounded,…

Let $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ be a finite measure space, $Z$ be a Banach space and $\nu:\Sigma \to Z^*$ be a countably additive $\mu$-continuous vector measure. Let $X \subseteq Z^*$ be a norm-closed subspace which is norming for $Z$. Write…

It is proved that in a commutative unital Banach algebra, every non-maximal closed prime ideal is accessible. Specifically, it can be represented as the intersection of all closed ideals of the algebra that properly contain it.…

The classical Banach--Mazur theorem asserts that every separable Banach space admits an isometric embedding into $C[0,1]$. It is also well known that every separable Banach space embeds isometrically into $\ell^\infty$. We show that such an…

The notion of ball convexity, considered in finite dimensional real Banach spaces, is a natural and useful extension of usual convexity; one replaces intersections of half-spaces by suitable intersections of balls. A subset $S$ of a normed…

In the present paper, the following convexity principle is proved: any closed convex multifunction, which is metrically regular in a certain uniform sense near a given point, carries small balls centered at that point to convex sets, even…

Shimizu and Takahashi have shown that every decreasing sequence of nonempty, bounded, closed, convex subsets of a complete, uniformly Takahashi convex metric space has nonempty intersection. It is well known that the Menger convexity is a…

A Banach space is said to have the ball-covering property (abbreviated BCP) if its unit sphere can be covered by countably many closed, or equivalently, open balls off the origin. Let $K$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space and $X$ be a…

With every family of finitely many subsets of a finite-dimensional vector space over the Galois-field with two elements we associate a cyclic transversal polytope. It turns out that those polytopes generalize several well-known polytopes…

This note conducts a comparative study of some approximating properties of the metric projection, generalized projection, and generalized metric projection in uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces. We prove that the inverse…

We compare and classify various types of Banach algebra norms on mathbb{C}^k through geometric properties of their unit balls. This study is motivated by various open problems in interpolation theory and in the isometric characterization of…

The goal of this short note is to prove that when $A$ is a closed *-subalgebra of a C*-algebra $B$ satisfying the ideal intersection property plus a mild axiom (INV), then the map $J\mapsto J\cap A$ establishes an isomorphism from the…

We introduce stronger versions of the usual notions of martingale type p <= 2 and cotype q >= 2 of a Banach space X and show that these concepts are equivalent to uniform p-smoothness and q-convexity, respectively. All these are metric…

A Banach space is said to have the ball-covering property (BCP) if its unit sphere can be covered by countably many closed or open balls off the origin. Let $X$ be a Banach space with a shrinking $1$-unconditional basis. In this paper, by…

Given $r_0>0$, $I\in \mathbb{N}\cup \{0\}$ and $K_0,H_0\geq 0$, let $X$ be a complete Riemannian $3$-manifold with injectivity radius $\mbox{Inj}(X)\geq r_0$ and with the supremum of absolute sectional curvature at most $K_0$, and let…

As a generalization of Hausdorff's extension theorem of metrics, we prove an interpolation theorem of a family of metrics defined on closed subsets of metrizable spaces. As an application, we investigate typicality of subsets of moduli…
