This paper is a revision and an enlargement of the previous version titled "Extreme points of the unit ball of a quasi-multiplier space" which had been circulated since 2004. We study extreme points of the unit ball of an operator space by…

We study pairs $(U,L_0)$, where $U$ is a unitary operator in $H$ and $L_0\subset H$ is a closed subspace, such that $$ P_{L_0}U|_{L_0}:L_0\to L_0 $$ has a singular value decomposition. Abstract characterizations of this condition are given,…

We discuss the geometry of the unit ball -- specifically, the structure of its extreme points (if any) -- in subspaces of $L^1$ and $L^\infty$ on the circle that are formed by functions with prescribed spectral gaps. A similar issue is…

We investigate the extremal properties of the unit ball of $L(X)_w^*$, the dual space of bounded linear operators defined on a Banach space $X$ equipped with the numerical radius norm. As an application of the present study, we obtain a…

We study Banach spaces with a weak stable unit ball, that is Banach spaces where every convex combination of relatively weakly open subsets in its unit ball is again a relatively weakly open subset in its unit ball. It is proved that 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…

For the weight function $\prod_{i=1}^{d+1}|x_i|^{2\k_i}$ on the unit sphere, sharp local estimates of the orthogonal projection operators are obtained and used to prove the convergence of the Ces\`aro $(C,\delta)$ means in the weighted…

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…

We study the geometry of $\mathcal{L}(X)_w,$ the space of all bounded linear operators on a Banach space $X,$ endowed with the numerical radius norm, whenever the numerical radius defines a norm. We obtain the form of the extreme points of…

We analyse the relationship between different extremal notions in Lipschitz free spaces (strongly exposed, exposed, preserved extreme and extreme points). We prove in particular that every preserved extreme point of the unit ball is also a…

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 provide a ZFC example of a compact space K such that C(K)* is w*-separable but its closed unit ball is not w*-separable. All previous examples of such kind had been constructed under CH. We also discuss the measurability of the supremum…

First we study in detail the tensorization properties of weak gradients in metric measure spaces $(X,d,m)$. Then, we compare potentially different notions of Sobolev space $H^{1,1}(X,d,m)$ and of weak gradient with exponent 1. Eventually we…

We define an $AW^*$-TRO as an off-diagonal corner of an $AW^*$-algebra, and show that the unit ball of an $AW^*$-TRO has an extreme point. In particular, the unit ball of an injective operator space has an extreme point, which answers a…

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite set of nonnegative integers, and let $\mathcal P(\Lambda)$ be the linear hull of the monomials $z^k$ with $k\in\Lambda$, viewed as a subspace of $L^1$ on the unit circle. We characterize the extreme and exposed…

In this paper, we investigate the extremal structure of the unit ball in the most general classes of Orlicz--Lorentz spaces. the characterizations of extreme points, strongly extreme points, and exposed points are given for Orlicz--Lorentz…

A set of bounded linear operators from a Banach space to a Banach lattice is collectively L-weakly compact whenever union of images of the unit ball is L-weakly compact. We extend the Meyer-Nieberg duality theorem to collectively L-weakly…

Recall that a Hausdorff space $X$ is said to be Namioka if for every compact (Hausdorff) space $Y$ and every metric space $Z$, every separately continuous function $f:X\times{Y}\rightarrow{Z}$ is continuous on $D\times{Y}$ for some dense…

Let $PW_S^1$ be the space of integrable functions on $\mathbb{R}$ whose Fourier transform vanishes outside $S$, where $S = [-\sigma,-\rho]\cup[\rho,\sigma]$, $0<\rho<\sigma$. In the case $\rho>\sigma/2$, we present a complete description of…

Let $N\subset M$ be a finite Jones' index inclusion of II$_1$ factors, and denote by $U_N\subset U_M$ their unitary groups. In this paper we study the homogeneous space $U_M/U_N$, which is a (infinite dimensional) differentiable manifold,…
