A map f between two metric spaces (X,d_1) and (Y,d_2) is called a coarse embedding of X into Y if there exist two nondecreasing functions phi_1, phi_2:[0,\infty) --> [0,\infty) such that: phi_1(d_1(x,y)) \leq d_2(f(x),f(y)) \leq…

Let $\H$ denote the discrete Heisenberg group, equipped with a word metric $d_W$ associated to some finite symmetric generating set. We show that if $(X,\|\cdot\|)$ is a $p$-convex Banach space then for any Lipschitz function $f:\H\to X$…

We extend a theorem of Kato on similarity for sequences of projections in Hilbert spaces to the case of isomorphic Schauder decompositions in certain Banach spaces. To this end we use $\ell_{\Psi}$-Hilbertian and $\infty$-Hilbertian…

We present a sufficient condition for smoothness of bounded linear operators on Banach spaces for the first time. Let $T, A \in B(\mathbb{X}, \mathbb{Y}),$ where $\mathbb{X}$ is a real Banach space and $\mathbb{Y}$ is a real normed linear…

The complex conjecture of Stefan Banach states that if V is a Banach space over the complex numbers where for some n, 1<n<dim(V), all of its n-dimensional subspaces are isometric, then V is a Hilbert space. Mikhail Gromov proved it for n…

We answer in the affirmative the surprisingly difficult questions: If a complex Banach space possesses a real predual X, then is X a complex Banach space? If a complex Banach space possesses a real predual, then does it have a complex…

A Banach space X is said to have the Tsirelson property if it does not contain subspaces that are isomorphic to l_{p}, p in [1,infty) or c_{0}. The article contains a quite simple method to producing Banach spaces with the Tsirelson…

Assume that $X$ is a complex separable infinite dimensional Banach space and $\mathcal{B}(X)$ denotes the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators from $X$ to itself. In 1970, P.R. Halmos raised ten open problems in Hilbert spaces.…

We study the complexities of isometry and isomorphism classes of separable Banach spaces in the Polish spaces of Banach spaces recently introduced and investigated by the authors in [14]. We obtain sharp results concerning the most…

The purpose of this paper is to lay the foundations for the study of the problem of when $\Ext^n(X, Y)=0$ in Banach/quasi-Banach spaces. We provide a number of examples of couples $X,Y$ so that $\Ext^n(X,Y)$ is (or is not ) $0$, including…

In this paper, we study spaceability of subsets of generalized Orlicz and Lebesgue spaces associated to Banach function space. Also, we give some sufficient conditions for spaceability of subsets of a general Banach space which improves an…

In this paper we present a result which establishes a connection between the theory of compact operators and the theory of iterated function systems. For a Banach space X, S and T bounded linear operators from X to X such that \parallel S…

It is shown that a separable Banach space $X$ can be given an equivalent norm $|\!|\!|\cdot |\!|\!|$ with the following properties:\quad If $(x_n)\subseteq X$ is relatively weakly compact and $\lim_{m\to\infty} \lim_{n\to\infty}\break…

We prove a commutative Gelfand--Naimark type theorem, by showing that the set $C_s(X)$ of continuous bounded (real or complex valued) functions with separable support on a locally separable metrizable space $X$ (provided with the supremum…

It is shown that if $1<p<\infty$ and $X$ is a subspace or a quotient of an $\ell_p$-direct sum of finite dimensional Banach spaces, then for any compact operator $T$ on $X$ such that $\|I+T\|>1$, the operator $I+T$ attains its norm. A…

The main result of this article is a rigidity result pertaining to the spreading model structure for Banach spaces coarsely embeddable into Tsirelson's original space $T^*$. Every Banach space that is coarsely embeddable into $T^*$ must be…

We consider the space of non-expansive mappings on a bounded, closed and convex subset of a Banach space equipped with the metric of uni- form convergence. We show that the set of strict contractions is a {\sigma}-porous subset.

In the literature surrounding the theory of Banach spaces, considerable effort has been invested in exploring the conditions on a Banach space X that characterise X as being an inner product space or as a linearly isomorphic copy of a…

As objects of study in functional analysis, Hilbert spaces stand out as special objects of study as do nuclear spaces in view of a rich geometrical structure they possess as Banach and Frechet spaces, respectively. On the other hand, there…

Let $E$, $F$ be separable Hilbert spaces, and assume that $E$ is infinite-dimensional. We show that for every continuous mapping $f:E\to F$ and every continuous function $\varepsilon: E\to (0, \infty)$ there exists a $C^{\infty}$ mapping…
