We prove that the norm of $X\widehat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ is SSD if either $X=\ell_p(I)$ for $p>2$ and $Y$ is a finite-dimensional Banach space such that the modulus of convexity is of power type $q<p$ (e.g. if $Y^*$ is a subspace of $L_q$) or…

A Banach space X is superreflexive if each Banach space Y that is finitely representable in X is reflexive. Superreflexivity is known to be equivalent to J-convexity and to the non-existence of uniformly bounded factorizations of the…

We prove that, given two Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ and bounded, closed convex sets $C\subseteq X$ and $D\subseteq Y$, if a nonzero element $z\in \overline{\mathrm{co}}(C\otimes D)\subseteq X\widehat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ is a preserved extreme…

In this paper we analyse when every element of $X\widehat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ attains its projective norm. We prove that this is the case if $X$ is the dual of a subspace of a predual of an $\ell_1(I)$ space and $Y$ is $1$-complemented in its…

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 prove that a Banach space X is not super-reflexive if and only if the hyperbolic infinite tree embeds metrically into X. We improve one implication of J.Bourgain's result who gave a metrical characterization of super-reflexivity in…

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…

We obtain some results for and further examples of subprojective and superprojective Banach spaces. We also give several conditions providing examples of non-reflexive superprojective spaces; one of these conditions is stable under…

Given two Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, we analyze when the projective tensor product $X\widehat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ has Corson's property (C) or is weakly Lindel\"of determined (WLD), subspace of a weakly compactly generated (WCG) space or…

In this paper, we prove the equivalence of reflexive Banach spaces and those Banach spaces which satisfy the following form of Bernstein's Lethargy Theorem. Let $X$ be an arbitrary infinite-dimensional Banach space, and let the real-valued…

A Banach space $X$ is called subprojective if any of its infinite dimensional subspaces $Y$ contains a further infinite dimensional subspace complemented in $X$. This paper is devoted to systematic study of subprojectivity. We examine the…

Let $m,n$ be positive integers with $m<n$. Under certain assumptions on the Banach space $X$, we prove that the $n$-fold projective tensor product of $X$, $\widehat{\otimes}^n_\pi X$, is not isomorphic to any subspace of any quotient of the…

In this paper, we study the (uniform) strong subdifferentiability of the norms of the Banach spaces $\mathcal{P}(^N X, Y^*)$, $X \hat{\otimes}_\pi \cdots \hat{\otimes}_\pi X$ and $\hat{\otimes}_{\pi_s,N} X$. Among other results, we…

In this short note, we prove that the set of elementary tensors is weakly closed in the projective tensor product of two Banach spaces. As a result, we are able to answer a question from the literature proving that if $(x_n) \subset X$ and…

We explore extreme contractions between finite-dimensional polygonal Banach spaces, from the point of view of attainment of norm of a linear operator. We prove that if $ X $ is an $ n- $dimensional polygonal Banach space and $ Y $ is any…

Let $X$ be a complex Banach space and $x,y\in X$. By definition, we say that $x$ is Birkhoff-James orthogonal to $y$ if $ \|x+\lambda y\|_{X} \geq \|x\|_{X}$ for all $\lambda \in \mathbb{C}$. We prove that $x$ is Birkhoff-James orthogonal…

It is an open problem whether an infinite-dimensional amenable Banach algebra exists whose underlying Banach space is reflexive. We give sufficient conditions for a reflexive, amenable Banach algebra to be finite-dimensional (and thus a…

In analogy to a recent result by V. Fonf, M. Lin, and P. Wojtaszczyk, we prove the following characterizations of a Banach space $X$ with a basis. (i) $X$ is finite-dimensional if and only if every bounded, uniformly continuous, mean…

The aim of this note is to obtain results about when the norm of a projective tensor product is strongly subdifferentiable. We prove that if $X\hat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ is strongly subdifferentiable and either $X$ or $Y$ has the metric…

A Banach space $X$ is reflexive if the Mackey topology $\tau(X^*,X)$ on $X^*$ agrees with the norm topology on $X^*$. Borwein [B] calls a Banach space $X$ {\it sequentially reflexive\/} provided that every $\tau(X^*,X)$ convergent {\it…
