We consider problems concerning the partial order structure of the set of spreading models of Banach spaces. We construct examples of spaces showing that the possible structure of these sets include certain classes of finite semi-lattices…
We study the projectivity of the free Banach lattice generated by a lattice $\mathbb{L}$ in two cases: when the lattice is finite, and when the lattice is an infinite linearly ordered set. We prove that in the first case it is projective…
We investigate the structure of the free $p$-convex Banach lattice $FBL^{(p)}[E]$ over a Banach space $E$. After recalling why such a free lattice exists, and giving a convenient functional representation of it, we focus our study on how…
We construct a Lipschitz-free space that is locally almost square but not weakly almost square; this is the first example of such a Banach space. We also prove a result, which indicates that geodesic metric spaces are a potential metric…
We consider holomorphic semicocycles on the open unit ball in a Banach space taking values in a Banach algebra. We establish criteria for a semicocycle to be linearizable, that is, cohomologically equivalent to one independent of the…
We discuss some open problems in the Geometry of Banach spaces having Ramsey-theoretic flavor. The problems are exposed together with well known results related to them.
We show that, given a Banach space $X$, the Lipschitz-free space over $X$, denoted by $\mathcal{F}(X)$, is isomorphic to $(\sum_{n=1}^\infty \mathcal{F}(X))_{\ell_1}$. Some applications are presented, including a non-linear version of…
Classes of Banach spaces that are finitely, strongly finitely or elementary equivalent are introduced. On sets of these classes topologies are defined in such a way that sets of defined classes become compact totally disconnected…
Motivated by noncommutative geometry and quantum physics, the concept of `metric operator field' is introduced. Roughly speaking, a metric operator field is a vector field on a set with values in self tensor product of a bundle of…
The paper is concerned with b-metric and generalized b-metric spaces. One proves the existence of the completion of a generalized b-metric space and some fixed point results. The behavior of Lipschitz functions on b-metric spaces of…
This work is motivated by a question published in E. Glasner's paper On a question of Kazhdan and Yom Din regarding the possibility to approximate functionals on a Banach space which are almost invariant with respect to an action of a…
The goal of this paper is to study geometric and extremal properties of the convex body $B_{\mathcal F(M)}$, which is the unit ball of the Lipschitz-free Banach space associated with a finite metric space $M$. We investigate $\ell_1$ and…
With the aim to better understand the intricate geometry of the class of Lipschitz free $p$-spaces $\mathcal{F}_p(\mathcal{M})$ when $0<p<1$, in this note we study their Banach envelopes and prove that if $0<p<1$ and $ \mathcal{M}$ is a…
We analyse several examples of separable Banach spaces, some of them new, and relate them to several dichotomies obtained in the previous paper Banach spaces without minimal subspaces, by classifying them according to which side of the…
In this article we deal with the free Banach lattice generated by a lattice and its behavior with respect to subspaces. In general, any lattice embedding $i\colon \mathbb{L} \longrightarrow \mathbb{M}$ between two lattices $\mathbb{L}…
In the context of classical associations between classes of Banach spaces and classes of compact Hausdorff spaces we survey known results and open questions concerning the existence and nonexistence of universal Banach spaces and of…
We characterise the octahedrality of Lipschitz-free space norm in terms of a new geometric property of the underlying metric space. We study the metric spaces with and without this property. Quite surprisingly, metric spaces without this…
We introduce the notion of free decomposition spaces: they are simplicial spaces freely generated by their inert maps. We show that left Kan extension along the inclusion $j \colon \Delta_{\operatorname{inert}} \to \Delta$ takes general…
We prove that for any separable Banach space $X$, there exists a compact metric space which is homeomorphic to the Cantor space and whose Lipschitz-free space contains a complemented subspace isomorphic to $X$. As a consequence we give an…
We show that there is an operator space notion of Lipschitz embeddability between operator spaces which is strictly weaker than its linear counterpart but which is still strong enough to impose linear restrictions on operator space…
