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…
In this note, we study the geometry of the unit ball of the Banach space generated by the adequate family of all subsets of branches of the infinite binary tree, and answer several open questions related to slicely countably determined…
We introduce extensions of $\Delta$-points and Daugavet points in which slices are replaced by relative weakly open subsets (super $\Delta$-points and super Daugavet points) or by convex combinations of slices (ccs $\Delta$-points and ccs…
The notion of slicely countably determined (SCD) sets was introduced in 2010 by A.~Avil\'{e}s, V.~Kadets, M.~Mart\'{i}n, J.~Mer\'{i} and V.~Shepelska. We solve in the negative some natural questions about preserving being SCD by the…
We introduce a new diametral notion for points of the unit sphere of Banach spaces, that naturally complements the notion of Delta-points, but is weaker than the notion of Daugavet points. We prove that this notion can be used to provide a…
We construct a Banach space $X$ with the r-BSP such that the infimum of the diameter of the slices of the unit ball is $1$, which gives negative answer to a 2006 question by Y. Ivakhno in an extreme way. This example is performed by…
We construct a nonseparable Banach space $\mathcal X$ (actually, of density continuum) such that any uncountable subset $\mathcal Y$ of the unit sphere of $\mathcal X$ contains uncountably many points distant by less than $1$ (in fact, by…
A norm one element $x$ of a Banach space is a Daugavet-point (respectively, a $\Delta$-point) if every slice of the unit ball (respectively, every slice of the unit ball containing $x$) contains an element, which is almost at distance 2…
We give a characterisation of the separable Banach spaces with the Daugavet property which is applied to study the Daugavet property in the projective tensor product of an $L$-embedded space with another non-zero Banach space. The former…
We prove that there exists an equivalent norm $\Vert\vert\cdot\vert\Vert$ on $L_\infty[0,1]$ with the following properties: (1) The unit ball of $(L_\infty[0,1],\Vert\vert\cdot\vert\Vert)$ contains non-empty relatively weakly open subsets…
We show that if $x$ is a strongly extreme point of a bounded closed convex subset of a Banach space and the identity has a geometrically and topologically good enough local approximation at $x$, then $x$ is already a denting point. It turns…
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…
A $\Delta$-point $x$ of a Banach space is a norm one element that is arbitrarily close to convex combinations of elements in the unit ball that are almost at distance $2$ from $x$. If, in addition, every point in the unit ball is…
We introduce two new notions called the Daugavet constant and $\Delta$-constant of a point, which measure quantitatively how far the point is from being Daugavet point and $\Delta$-point and allow us to study Daugavet and $\Delta$-points in…
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 set up a descriptive set-theoretic framework to study Lipschitz-free spaces and use the reduction argument of Bossard to prove several results. We prove two universality results: if a separable Banach space is isomorphically universal…
Inspired by R. Whitley's thickness index the last named author recently introduced the Daugavet index of thickness of Banach spaces. We continue the investigation of the behavior of this index and also consider two new versions of the…
The paper elucidates the relationship between the density of a Banach space and possible sizes of well-separated subsets of its unit sphere. For example, it is proved that for a large enough space $X$, the unit sphere $S_X$ always contains…
We show that all the symmetric projective tensor products of a Banach space $X$ have the Daugavet property provided $X$ has the Daugavet property and either $X$ is an $L_1$-predual (i.e.\ $X^*$ is isometric to an $L_1$-space) or $X$ is a…
We construct a Banach space satisfying that the nearest point map (also called proximity mapping or metric projection) onto any compact and convex subset is continuous but not uniformly continuous. The space we construct is locally…
