We prove that, given any covering of any separable infinite-dimensional uniformly rotund and uniformly smooth Banach space $X$ by closed balls each of positive radius, some point exists in $X$ which belongs to infinitely many balls.

We discuss construction of coverings of the unit ball of a finite dimensional Banach space. The well known technique of comparing volumes gives upper and lower bounds on covering numbers. This technique does not provide a construction of…

We study star-finite coverings of infinite-dimensional normed spaces. A family of sets is called star-finite if each of its members intersects only finitely many other members of the family. It follows by our results that an LUR or a…

We establish a general criterion for the existence of convex sets of fixed shape as, e.g., balls of a given radius, of maximal probability on Banach spaces. We also provide counterexamples showing that their existence my fail even in some…

We provide an elementary proof of a result by V.P.~Fonf and C.~Zanco on point-finite coverings of separable Hilbert spaces. Indeed, by using a variation of the famous argument introduced by J.~Lindenstrauss and R.R.~Phelps \cite{LP} to…

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…

If the n-dimensional unit sphere is covered by finitely many spherically convex bodies, then the sum of the inradii of these bodies is at least {\pi}. This bound is sharp, and the equality case is characterized.

We investigate certain envelopes of open sets in dual Banach spaces which are related to extending holomorphic functions. We give a variety of examples of absolutely convex sets showing that the extension is in many cases not possible. We…

We show that every infinite dimensional Banach space has a closed and bounded convex set that is not remotal.

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…

The notion of ball convexity, considered in finite dimensional real Banach spaces, is a natural and useful extension of usual convexity; one replaces intersections of half-spaces by suitable intersections of balls. A subset $S$ of a normed…

In this paper, we investigate holomorphic mappings $F$ on the unit ball $\mathbb{B}$ of a complex Banach space of the form $F(x)=f(x)x$, where $f$ is a holomorphic function on $\mathbb{B}$. First, we investigate criteria for univalence,…

Let $H$ be a Hilbert space. For a closed convex body $A$ denote by $r(A)$ the supremum of radiuses of balls, contained in $A$. We prove, that $\sum_{n=1}^\infty r(A_n) \ge r(A)$ for every covering of a convex closed body $A \subset H$ by a…

For a Banach space $X$ by $Conv_H(X)$ we denote the space of non-empty closed convex subsets of $X$, endowed with the Hausdorff metric. We prove that for any closed convex set $C\subset X$ and its metric component $H_C=\{A\in…

We study the extension of holomorphic functions of bounded type defined on an open subset of a Banach space, to larger domains. For this, we first characterize the envelope of holomorphy of a Riemann domain over a Banach space, with respect…

We provide bounds on the upper box-counting dimension of negatively invariant subsets of Banach spaces, a problem that is easily reduced to covering the image of the unit ball under a linear map by a collection of balls of smaller radius.…

We show that there exists a Banach space in which every non-empty weakly open subset of its unit ball has radius one, the maximum possible value, but the infimum of the diameter of its slices is exactly one, so extremely far from its…

The present work surveys problems in $n$-dimensional space with $n$ large. Early development in the study of packing and covering in high dimensions was motivated by the geometry of numbers. Subsequent results, such as the discovery of the…

Having been unclear how to define that a domain is strictly pseudoconvex in the infinite-dimensional setting, we develop a general theory having Banach spaces in mind. We first focus on finite dimension and eliminate the need of two degrees…

We prove that if X is a separable infinite dimensional Banach space then its isomorphism class has infinite diameter with respect to the Banach-Mazur distance. One step in the proof is to show that if X is elastic then X contains an…
