We continue the investigation of the behaviour of diameter two properties in tensor products of Banach spaces. Our main result shows that the symmetric strong diameter two property is stable by taking projective tensor products. We also…
We study Banach spaces with the property that, given a finite number of slices of the unit ball, there exists a direction such that all these slices contain a line segment of length almost 2 in this direction. This property was recently…
It is known that a Banach space contains an isomorphic copy of $c_0$ if, and only if, it can be equivalently renormed to be almost square. We introduce and study transfinite versions of almost square Banach spaces with the purpose to relate…
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…
We characterise the weak$^*$ symmetric strong diameter $2$ property in Lipschitz function spaces by a property of its predual, the Lipschitz-free space. We call this new property decomposable octahedrality and study its duality with the…
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.,…
The aim of this note is to provide several variants of the diameter two properties for Banach spaces. We study such properties looking for the abundance of diametral points, which holds in the setting of Banach spaces with the Daugavet…
We address some open problems concerning Banach spaces of real-valued Lipschitz functions. Specifically, we prove that the diameter two properties differ from their weak-star counterparts in these spaces. In particular, we establish the…
We prove that the diametral diameter two properties are inherited by $F$-ideals (e.g., $M$-ideals). On the other hand, these properties are lifted from an $M$-ideal to the superspace under strong geometric assumptions. We also show that all…
We introduce and study a strict monotonicity property of the norm in solid Banach lattices of real functions that prevents such spaces from having the local diameter two property. Then we show that any strictly convex 1-symmetric norm on…
We study almost square Banach spaces under a topological point of view. Indeed, we prove that the class of Banach spaces which admits an equivalent norm to be ASQ is that of those Banach spaces which contain an isomorphic copy of $c_0$. We…
We study smoothness and strict convexity of (the bidual) of Banach spaces in the presence of diameter 2 properties. We prove that the strong diameter 2 property prevents the bidual from being strictly convex and being smooth, and we…
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…
We study when diameter two properties pass down to subspaces. We obtain that the slice two property (respectively diameter two property, strong diameter two property) passes down from a Banach space $X$ to a subspace $Y$ whenever $Y$ is…
We prove that there exists a finite-dimensional Banach space $X$ such that $L_1^\mathbb C([0,1])\widehat{\otimes}_\varepsilon X$ fails the strong diameter two property and $L_\infty^\mathbb C([0,1])\widehat{\otimes}_\pi X^*$ fails to have…
We characterise the class of those Banach spaces in which every convex combination of slices of the unit ball intersects the unit sphere as the class of those spaces in which every convex combination of slices of the unit ball contains two…
We solve some open problems regarding diameter two properties within the class of Banach spaces of real-valued Lipschitz functions by using the de Leeuw transform. Namely, we show that: the diameter two property, the strong diameter two…
A Banach space is $c_0$-saturated if all of its closed infinite dimensional subspaces contain an isomorph of $c_0$. In this article, we study the stability of this property under the formation of direct sums and tensor products. Some of the…
We give a characterisation of the weak* symmetric strong diameter 2 property for Lipschitz function spaces in terms of a property of the corresponding metric space. Using this characterisation we show that the weak* symmetric strong…
If $X$ is an infinite-dimensional uniform algebra, if $X$ has the Daugavet property or if $X$ is a proper $M$-embedded space, every relatively weakly open subset of the unit ball of the Banach space $X$ is known to have diameter 2, i.e.,…
