In this note we study the inheritance of the slice diameter two property by ultrapower spaces. Given a Banach space $X$, we give a characterisation of when $(X)_\mathcal U$, the ultrapower of $X$ through a free ultrafilter $\mathcal U$, has…

A Banach space $X$ is said to have the alternative Daugavet property if for every (bounded and linear) rank-one operator $T:X\longrightarrow X$ there exists a modulus one scalar $\omega$ such that $\|Id + \omega T\|= 1 + \|T\|$. We give…

A natural extension of the Daugavet property for $p$-convex Banach function spaces and related classes is analysed. As an application, we extend the arguments given in the setting of the Daugavet property to show that no reflexive space…

We discuss an example of a non-complete normed space with the Daugavet property such that the norm is G\^ateaux differentiable at every nonzero point. In contrast, we note that the dual norm of a normed space with the Daugavet property is…

We prove that the diametral strong diameter 2 property of a Banach space (meaning that, in convex combinations of relatively weakly open subsets of its unit ball, every point has an "almost diametral" point) is stable under 1-sums, i.e.,…

We extend the (attaining of) strong diameter two property to infinite cardinals. In particular, a Banach space has the 1-norming attaining strong diameter two property with respect to $\omega$ (1-ASD2P$_\omega$ for short) if every convex…

Requirements under which the Daugavet equation and the alternative Daugavet equation hold for pairs of nonlinear maps between Banach spaces are analysed. A geometric description is given in terms of nonlinear slices. Some local versions of…

In contrast with the separable case, we prove that the existence of almost $L$-orthogonal vectors in a nonseparable Banach space $X$ (octahedrality) does not imply the existence of nonzero vectors in $X^{**}$ being $L$-orthogonal to $X$,…

We show that $L^p$-spaces over atomless measure spaces can be characterized in terms of a $p$-concavity type geometric property that is related with the Daugavet property.

We introduce the class of slicely countably determined Banach spaces which contains in particular all spaces with the RNP and all spaces without copies of $\ell_1$. We present many examples and several properties of this class. We give some…

We obtain new progresses about the diameter two property and the Daugavet property in tensor product spaces. Namely, the main results of the paper are: -If $X^*$ has the WODP, then $X\widehat{\otimes}_\varepsilon Y$ has the DD2P for any…

For a compact metric space $K$ the space $\Lip(K)$ has the Daugavet property if and only if the norm of every $f \in \Lip(K)$ is attained locally. If $K$ is a subset of an $L_p$-space, $1<p<\infty$, this is equivalent to the convexity of…

We study those Banach spaces $X$ for which $S_X$ does not admit a finite $\eps$-net consisting of elements of $S_X$ for any $\eps < 2$. We give characterisations of this class of spaces in terms of $\ell_1$-type sequences and in terms of…

A Banach space (or its norm) is said to have the diameter $2$ property (D$2$P in short) if every nonempty relatively weakly open subset of its closed unit ball has diameter $2$. We construct an equivalent norm on $L_1[0,1]$ which is weakly…

We introduce and analyse the notion of slice continuity between operators on Banach spaces in the setting of the Daugavet property. It is shown that under the slice continuity assumption the Daugavet equation holds for weakly compact…

It is known that a Banach space has the strong diameter 2 property (i.e. every convex combination of slices of the unit ball has diameter 2) if and only if the norm on its dual space is octahedral (a notion introduced by Godefroy and…

Let $X$ be a Banach space. We introduce a formal approach which seems to be useful in the study of those properties of operators on $X$ which depend only on the norms of images of elements. This approach is applied to the Daugavet equation…

We compute the Borel complexity of some classes of Banach spaces such as different versions of diameter two properties, spaces satisfying the Daugavet equation or spaces with an octahedral norm. In most of the above cases our computation is…

We study Daugavet points and $\Delta$-points in Lipschitz-free Banach spaces. We prove that, if $M$ is a compact metric space, then $\mu\in S_{\mathcal F(M)}$ is a Daugavet point if, and only if, there is no denting point of $B_{\mathcal…

We show that a minor refinement of the Bourgain-Rosenthal construction of a Banach space without the Radon-Nikodym property which contains no bounded $\delta$-trees yields a space with the Daugavet property and the Schur property. Using…
