Some new classes of compacta $K$ are considered for which $C(K)$ endowed with the pointwise topology has a countable cover by sets of small local norm--diameter.

Let C(K) be the Banach space of all continuous functions on a given compact space K. We investigate the w*-sequential closure in C(K)* of the set of all finitely supported probabilities on K. We discuss the coincidence of the Baire…

Several new characterizations of the Gelfand-Phillips property are given. We define a strong version of the Gelfand-Phillips property and prove that a Banach space has this stronger property iff it embeds into $c_0$. For an infinite compact…

For a compact space $K$ we denote by $C_w(K)$ ($C_p(K)$) the space of continuous real-valued functions on $K$ endowed with the weak (pointwise) topology. In this paper we address the following basic question which seems to be open: Suppose…

Given a topological space $X$, we study the structure of $\infty$-convex subsets in the space $SC_p(X)$ of scatteredly continuous functions on $X$. Our main result says that for a topological space $X$ with countable strong fan tightness,…

A Banach space $X$ is said to have property (K) if every $w^*$-convergent sequence in $X^*$ admits a convex block subsequence which converges with respect to the Mackey topology. We study the connection of this property with strongly weakly…

We study the class of Banach spaces $X$ such that the locally convex space $(X,\mu(X,Y))$ is complete for every norming and norm-closed subspace $Y \subset X^*$, where $\mu(X,Y)$ denotes the Mackey topology on $X$ associated to the dual…

Answering a question of Sakai, we show that the minimal cardinality of a set of reals X such that C_p(X) does not have the Pytkeev property is equal to the pseudo-intersection number p. Our approach leads to a natural characterization of…

Using approximation by continuous functions we prove the following statements to types of tightness in a space $Q_p(X, \mathbb{R})$ of all quasicontinuous real-valued functions with the topology $\tau_p$ of pointwise convergence: the…

For any $p\in[1,\infty)$, we prove that the set of simple functions taking at most $k$ different values is proximinal in B\"ochner spaces $L^p(X)$ whenever $X$ is a dual Banach space with $w^*$-sequentially compact unit ball. With…

We prove that there is a compact space $L$ and a 1-complemented subspace of the Banach space $C(L)$ which is not isomorphic to a space of continuous functions.

We characterize the Banach spaces X such that Ext(X, C(K))=0 for every compact space.

A Banach space is said to have the ball-covering property (BCP) if its unit sphere can be covered by countably many closed or open balls off the origin. Let $X$ be a Banach space with a shrinking $1$-unconditional basis. In this paper, by…

We show that the space of bounded and linear operators between spaces of continuous functions on compact Hausdorff topological spaces has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property. A similar result is also proved for the class of compact…

A topological space has the fixed point property if every continuous self-map of that space has at least one fixed point. We demonstrate that there are serious restraints imposed by the requirement that there be a choice of fixed points…

A classical theorem of Malykhin says that if $\{X_\alpha:\alpha\leq\kappa\}$ is a family of compact spaces such that $t(X_\alpha)\leq \kappa$, for every $\alpha\leq\kappa$, then $t\left( \prod_{\alpha\leq \kappa} X_\alpha \right)\leq…

If $\mathcal P$ is a family of filters over some set $I$, a topological space $X$ is \emph{sequencewise $\mathcal P$-\brfrt compact} if, for every $I$-indexed sequence of elements of $X$, there is $F \in \mathcal P$ such that the sequence…

We study approximation of operators between Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ that nearly attain their norms in a given point by operators that attain their norms at the same point. When such approximations exist, we say that the pair $(X, Y)$ has…

It is shown that if a Banach space X has the weak Banach-Saks property and the weak fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings and Y satisfies property asymptotic (P) (which is weaker than the condition WCS(Y)>1), then the direct sum of…

We study the class of compact convex subsets of a topological vector space which admits a strictly convex and lower semicontinuous function. We prove that such a compact set is embeddable in a strictly convex dual Banach space endowed with…
