Let $X$ be a Banach lattice. A well-known problem arising from the theory of risk measures asks when order closedness of a convex set in $X$ implies closedness with respect to the topology $\sigma(X,X_n^\sim)$, where $X_n^\sim$ is the order…

It is a translation of an old paper of mine. We describe the topology tau_p in the space Pi_p(Y,X), for which the closures of convex sets in tau_p and in *-weak topology of the space Pi_p(Y,X) are coincident. Thereafter, we investigate some…

An open chain cover $\{U_\alpha : \alpha\in\kappa\}$ ($\kappa$ a cardinal) of a space $X$ is a systematic cover if the closure of $U_\alpha$ is contained in $U_\beta$ when $\alpha<\beta$, and $X$ is Type I if $\kappa=\omega_1$ and the…

We study different aspects of the connections between local theory of Banach spaces and the problem of the extension of bilinear forms from subspaces of Banach spaces. Among other results, we prove that if $X$ is not a Hilbert space then…

Given a topological dynamical system $\Sigma = (X, \sigma)$, where $X$ is a compact Hausdorff space and $\sigma$ a homeomorphism of $X$, we introduce the associated Banach $^*$-algebra crossed product $\ell^1 (\Sigma)$ and analyse its ideal…

Suppose $X$ is a real or complexified Banach space containing a complemented copy of $\ell_p$, $p\in(1,2)$, and a copy (not necessarily complemented) of either $\ell_q$, $q\in(p,\infty)$, or $c_0$. Then $\mathcal{L}(X)$ and…

We investigate weak$^*$ derived sets, that is the sets of weak$^*$ limits of bounded nets, of convex subsets of duals of non-reflexive Banach spaces and their possible iterations. We prove that a dual space of any non-reflexive Banach space…

We address a number of problems concerning the (im)possibility of either extending locally trivial subbundles of possibly singular Banach/$C^*$ bundles globally, embedding subhomogeneous bundles into homogeneous ones, or recovering locally…

We show that every Banach space containing isomorphic copies of $c_0$ can be equivalently renormed so that every nonempty relatively weakly open subset of its unit ball has diameter 2 and, however, its unit ball still contains convex…

Chapter 1 deals with the problem of the existence of an upper/lower envelope from a convex cone or, more generally, a convex set for functions on the projective limit of vector lattices with values in the completion of the Kantorovich space…

Let X be a Banach space. Given a subset A of the dual space X* denote by $A_{(1)}$ the weak* sequential closure of A, i.e., the set of all limits of weak*-convergent sequences in A. The study of weak* sequential closures of linear subspaces…

Given a finite covering by closed convex sets of $B_X$, the unit ball of an infinite-dimensional Banach space, we investigate whether there is a set of the covering that contains balls of radius close to $1$ and (a) arbitrarily high finite…

We show that a pseudoconvex open subset of a Banach space with an unconditional basis is biholomorphic to a closed direct submanifold of a Banach space with an unconditional basis.

We answer in the affirmative the following question raised by H. H. Corson in 1961: "Is it possible to cover every Banach space X by bounded convex sets with nonempty interior in such a way that no point of X belongs to infinitely many of…

A topological space $X$ is Baire if the intersection of any sequence of open dense subsets of $X$ is dense in $X$. One of the interesting problems for the space of Baire functions is the Banakh-Gabriyelyan problem: Let $\alpha$ be a…

We introduce and study Banach spaces which have property CWO, i.e., every finite convex combination of relatively weakly open subsets of their unit ball is open in the relative weak topology of the unit ball. Stability results of such…

We study some questions concerning the structure of the set of spreading models of a separable infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$. In particular we give an example of a reflexive $X$ so that all spreading models of $X$ contain $\ell_1$…

We extend the well-known Gelfand-Phillips property for Banach spaces to locally convex spaces, defining a locally convex space $E$ to be Gelfand-Phillips if every limited set in $E$ is precompact in the topology on $E$ defined by barrels.…

The question which led to the title of this note is the following: {\it If $X$ is a Banach space and $K$ is a compact subset of $X$, is it possible to find a compact, or even approximable, operator $v:X\to X$ such that…

In $\mathbb{R}^d$, a closed, convex set has zero Lebesgue measure if and only its interior is empty. More generally, in separable, reflexive Banach spaces, closed and convex sets are Haar null if and only if their interior is empty. We…
