Any regular mixed Tsirelson space $T(\theta_n,S_n)_{\N}$ for which $\frac{\theta_n}{\theta^n} \to 0$, where $\theta=\lim_n \theta_n^{1/n}$, is shown to be arbitrarily distortable. Certain asymptotic $\ell_1$ constants for those and other…

The so-called Kalton-Peck space $Z_2$ is a twisted Hilbert space induced, using complex interpolation, by $c_0$ or $\ell_p$ for any $1\leq p\neq 2<\infty$. Kalton and Peck developed a scheme of results for $Z_2$ showing that it is a very…

We prove that Hilbert space is distortable and, in fact, arbitrarily distortable. This means that for all lambda >1 there exists an equivalent norm |.| on l_2 such that for all infinite dimensional subspaces Y of l_2 there exist x,y in Y…

We prove that non-Hilbertian separable Orlicz sequence spaces are ergodic, i.e., the equivalence relation $\mathbb{E}_0$ Borel reduces to the isomorphism relation between subspaces of every such space. This is done by exhibiting…

Fix a number field $k$, integers $\ell, n \geq 2$, and a prime $p$. For all $r \geq 1$, we prove strong unconditional upper bounds on the $r$-th moment of $\ell$-torsion in the ideal class groups of degree $p$ extensions of $k$ and of…

We show that Rochberg's generalizared interpolation spaces $\mathscr Z^{(n)}$ arising from analytic families of Banach spaces form exact sequences $0\to \mathscr Z^{(n)} \to \mathscr Z^{(n+k)} \to \mathscr Z^{(k)} \to 0$. We study some…

The new class of Banach spaces, so-called asymptotic $l_p$ spaces, is introduced and it is shown that every Banach space with bounded distortions contains a subspace from this class. The proof is based on an investigation of certain…

The exponential Teichm\"uller spaces $E_p$, $0\leq p \leq \infty$, interpolate between the classical Teichm\"uller space ($p=\infty$) and the space of harmonic diffeomorphisms $(p=0)$. In this article we prove the existence of…

We prove that the spaces $\ell_p$, $1<p<\infty, p\ne 2$, and all infinite-dimensional subspaces of their quotient spaces do not admit equivalent almost transitive renormings. This is a step towards the solution of the Banach-Mazur rotation…

It is proved that for any $0<\beta<\alpha$, any bounded Ahlfors $\alpha$-regular space contains a $\beta$-regular compact subset that embeds biLipschitzly in an ultrametric with distortion at most $O(\alpha/(\alpha-\beta))$. The bound on…

We study properties of twisted unions of metric spaces introduced by Johnson, Lindenstrauss, and Schechtman, and by Naor and Rabani. In particular, we prove that under certain natural mild assumptions twisted unions of $L_1$-embeddable…

We consider $\ell_p$-direct sums ($1\leq p<\infty$) and $c_0$-direct sums of countably many normed spaces and find the duals of these spaces. We characterize the support functionals of arbitrary elements in these spaces to characterize…

The main purpose of this article is to survey on some key elements of a recent $\mathcal{H}_p$-theory of general Dirichlet series $\sum a_n e^{-\lambda_{n}s}$, which was mainly inspired by the work of Bayart and Helson on ordinary Dirichlet…

Given a Banach space $X$ and a real number $\alpha\ge 1$, we write: (1) $D(X)\le\alpha$ if, for any locally finite metric space $A$, all finite subsets of which admit bilipschitz embeddings into $X$ with distortions $\le C$, the space $A$…

We prove $L_p$ estimates of solutions to a conormal derivative problem for divergence form complex-valued higher-order elliptic systems on a half space and on a Reifenberg flat domain. The leading coefficients are assumed to be merely…

We consider classical Tsirelson-type norms of $T[A_r,\theta]$ and their modified versions on $\ell_p$ spaces. We show that for any $1<p<\infty$ there is a constant $\lambda_p$ such that considered Tsirelson-type norms do not…

For $p\in (1,\infty)$ let $\mathscr{P}_p(\mathbb{R}^3)$ denote the metric space of all $p$-integrable Borel probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^3$, equipped with the Wasserstein $p$ metric $\mathsf{W}_p$. We prove that for every…

We introduce a randomized iterative fragmentation procedure for finite metric spaces, which is guaranteed to result in a polynomially large subset that is $D$-equivalent to an ultrametric, where $D\in (2,\infty)$ is a prescribed target…

We combine techniques of Orty\'nski \cite{orty} and Moreno and Plichko \cite{moreplic} to show that, for $0<p<\infty$, every subspace of $\ell_p(\Gamma)$ having density character $\mathfrak m$ has the form $\ell_p(\mathfrak m, H_m)$ for…

We present a new proof of a Sundaresan's result which shows that the space of orthogonally additive polynomials $\mathcal{P}_o(^k\ell_p)$ is isometrically isomorphic to $\ell_{p/p-k}$ if $k<p<\infty$ and to $\ell_\infty$ if $1\leq p\leq k$.
