We prove that every separable infinite-dimensional Banach space admits a G\^ateaux smooth and rotund norm which is not midpoint locally uniformly rotund. Moreover, by using a similar technique, we provide in every infinite-dimensional…

We develop tools to produce equivalent norms with specific local geometry around infinitely many points in the sphere of a Banach space via an inductive procedure. We combine this process with smoothness results and techniques to solve two…

We show that every infinite-dimensional Banach space with separable dual admits an equivalent norm which is weakly locally uniformly rotund but not locally uniformly rotund.

We study several classical concepts in the topic of strict convexity of norms in infinite dimensional Banach spaces. Specifically, and in descending order of strength, we deal with Uniform Rotundity (UR), Weak Uniform Rotundity (WUR) and…

We study the relations between different notions of almost locally uniformly rotund points that appear in literature. We show that every non-reflexive Banach space admits an equivalent norm having a point in the corresponding unit sphere…

We prove that every Banach space admitting a Gateaux smooth norm and containing a complemented copy of $\ell_1$ has an equivalent renorming which is simultaneously G\^ateaux smooth and octahedral. This is a partial solution to a problem…

We study the problem of totally smooth renormings of Banach spaces and provide such renormings for spaces which are weakly compactly generated. We also consider renormings for $(a,B,c)$-ideals.

We give the method of construction of normal but not strongly normal positive cones in Banach space.

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…

The subject of this paper is regularity-preserving aggregation of regular norms on finite-dimensional linear spaces. Regular norms were introduced in [5] and are closely related to ``type 2'' spaces [9, Chapter 9] playing important role in…

We prove that in every separable Banach space $X$ with a Schauder basis and a $C^k$-smooth norm it is possible to approximate, uniformly on bounded sets, every equivalent norm with a $C^k$-smooth one in a way that the approximation is…

The aim of this paper is to present a tool used to show that certain Banach spaces can be endowed with $C^k$ smooth equivalent norms. The hypothesis uses particular countable decompositions of certain subsets of $B_{X^*}$, namely…

We study the global behavior of the renormalization operator on a specially constructed Banach manifold that has cubic critical circle maps on its boundary and circle diffeomorphisms in its interior. As an application, we prove results on…

We establish generic regularity results for isoperimetric regions in closed Riemannian manifolds of dimension eight. In particular, we show that every isoperimetric region has a smooth nondegenerate boundary for a generic choice of smooth…

Motivated by the question of Mikael de la Salle, we investigate the problem of the existence of equivalent strictly convex norms on Banach spaces that are invariant with respect to an action of a group by linear isometries. We develop…

The article is a survey related to a classical unsolved problem in Banach space theory, appearing in Banach's famous book in 1932, and known as the Mazur rotations problem. Although the problem seems very difficult and rather abstract, its…

In this paper we consider probabilistic normed spaces as defined by Alsina, Sklar, and Schweizer, but equipped with non necessarily continuous triangle functions. Such spaces endow a generalized topology that is Fr\'echet-separable,…

We introduce a new type of norm for ordered vector spaces majorized by a proper (convex) cone that generalizes the notions of order unit norm and base norm. Then we give sufficient conditions to ensure its completeness. In the case of…

It is shown that a Banach space with locally uniformly convex dual admits an equivalent norm which is itself locally uniformly convex. It follows that on any such space all continuous real-valued functions may be uniformly approximated by…

We show that finite dimensional Banach spaces fail to be uniformly non locally almost square. Moreover, we construct an equivalent almost square bidual norm on $\ell_\infty.$ As a consequence we get that every dual Banach space containing…
