In [8] probabilistic methods, in particular a variant of the Weak Law of Large Numbers related to the Bernoulli distribution, have been used to show that for every infinite compact spaces K and L there exists a sequence $(\mu_n)$ of…

We give a sufficient condition for a pair of Banach spaces $(X,Y)$ to have the following property: whenever $W_1 \subseteq X$ and $W_2 \subseteq Y$ are sets such that $\{x\otimes y: \, x\in W_1, \, y\in W_2\}$ is weakly precompact in the…

We characterise the weak$^*$ symmetric strong diameter $2$ property in Lipschitz function spaces by a property of its predual, the Lipschitz-free space. We call this new property decomposable octahedrality and study its duality with the…

This note corrects a gap and improves results in an earlier paper by the first named author. More precisely, it is shown that on weakly compactly generated Banach spaces X which admit a C^{p} smooth norm, one can uniformly approximate…

Following [3] we say that a Tychonoff space $X$ is an Ascoli space if every compact subset $\mathcal{K}$ of $C_k(X)$ is evenly continuous; this notion is closely related to the classical Ascoli theorem. Every $k_\mathbb{R}$-space, hence any…

This article aims to examine the Hahn-Banach smoothness of Banach spaces and its connections to various geometrical aspects. We examine the circumstances that allow linear functionals to have unique norm-preserving extensions, with…

It is shown that any Banach space X of sufficiently large density contains an (infinite) unconditional sequence and a separable quotient. If a density of X is a weakly compact cardinal, then X contains an unconditional sequence of…

In the present paper we prove that a necessary condition for a Banach space $X$ to admit a generating compact Lipschitz retract $K$, which satisfies an additional mild assumption on its shape, is that $X$ enjoys the Bounded Approximation…

We prove that given a locally compact Hausdorff space, $K$, and a compact C$^*$-algebra, $\mathcal{A}$, the C$^*$-algebra $C(K, \mathcal{A})$ satisfies that every convex combination of slices of the closed unit ball is relatively weakly…

We show that for every weakly compact subset $K$ of $C[0,1]$ with finite Cantor-Bendixson rank, there is a reflexive Banach lattice $E$ and an operator $T:E\rightarrow C[0,1]$ such that $K\subseteq T(B_E)$. On the other hand, we exhibit an…

A well known result of Lozanovsky states that a Banach lattice is weakly sequentially complete if and only if it does not contain a copy of $c_{0}$. In the current paper we extend this result to the class of Banach $C(K)$ modules of finite…

We study the property of being strongly weakly compactly generated (and some relatives) in projective tensor products of Banach spaces. Our main result is as follows. Let $1<p,q<\infty$ be such that $1/p+1/q\geq 1$. Let $X$ (resp., $Y$) be…

Let $T$ be a compact, metrisable and strongly countable-dimensional topological space. Let $\mathcal{M}^T$ be the set of all metrics $d$ on $T$ compatible with its topology, and equip $\mathcal{M}^T$ with the topology of uniform…

For a Banach space $X$ denote by $\mathcal{L}(X)$ the algebra of bounded linear operators on $X$, by $\mathcal{K}(X)$ the compact operator ideal on $X$, and by $Cal(X) = \mathcal{L}(X)/\mathcal{K}(X)$ the Calkin algebra of $X$. We prove…

We show that the Lipschitz-free space with the Radon--Nikod\'{y}m property and a Daugavet point recently constructed by Veeorg is in fact a dual space isomorphic to $\ell_1$. Furthermore, we answer an open problem from the literature by…

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…

We characterize compact metric spaces whose locally flat Lipschitz functions separate points uniformly as exactly those that are purely 1-unrectifiable, resolving a problem of Weaver. We subsequently use this geometric characterization to…

We show that the predual of a JBW$^*$-triple has the weak Banach-Saks property, that is, reflexive subspaces of a JBW$^*$-triple predual are super-reflexive. We also prove that JBW$^*$-triple preduals satisfy the Koml\'os property (which…

In the present note we give a construction (based on a retractional argument) of a Schauder basis for the Lipschitz free space $\mathcal{F}(N)$, over a net $N$ in any separable infinite dimensional $\mathcal{L}_\infty$-space $X$. In…

In the present paper we establish that the space $\exp_\beta X$ of compact subsets of a Tychonoff space $X$ is superparacompact iff $X$ is so. Further, we prove the Tychonoff map $\exp_{\beta} f:\ \exp_{\beta} X\rightarrow \exp_{\beta} Y$…
