Let $X$ be a Banach space. For $x \in X$ with $\|x\| = 1$, we denote the state space by $S_x = \{x^* \in X^* : \|x^*\| = x^*(x) = 1\}.$ In this paper, we study weak$^*$-weak and weak$^*$-$\|\cdot\|$ points of continuity of the identity map…

We prove that if a unital Banach algebra $A$ is the dual of a Banach space $\pd{A}$, then the set of weak* continuous states is weak* dense in the set of all states on $A$. Further, weak* continuous states linearly span $\pd{A}$.

We characterize the weak-star point of continuity property for subspaces of dual spaces with separable predual and we deduce that the weak-star point of continuity property is determined by subspaces with a Schauder basis in the natural…

A compact space is said to be weakly Radon-Nikod\'ym if it is homeomorphic to a weak*-compact subset of the dual of a Banach space not containing an isomorphic copy of $\ell_1$. In this work we provide an example of a continuous image of a…

We study dentable maps from a closed convex subset of a Banach space into a metric space as an attempt of generalize the Radon-Nikod\'ym property to a "less linear" frame. We note that a certain part of the theory can be developed in rather…

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…

A Banach space has the weak fixed point property if its dual space has a weak$^*$ sequentially compact unit ball and the dual space satisfies the weak$^*$ uniform Kadec-Klee property; and it has the \fpp if there exists $\epsilon>0$ such…

Let $E$ be an order continuous K\"{o}the function space over a non purely atomic probability measure $\mu$ and let $X$ be a Banach space, with topological duals $E^*$ and $X^*$, respectively. Let $E(X)$ and $E^*(X^*)$ be the corresponding…

The main results of the paper: {\bf (1)} The dual Banach space $X^*$ contains a linear subspace $A\subset X^*$ such that the set $A^{(1)}$ of all limits of weak$^*$ convergent bounded nets in $A$ is a proper norm-dense subset of $X^*$ if…

We investigate weak$^*$ derived sets, that is the sets of weak$^*$ limits of bounded nets, of convex subsets of duals of non-reflexive Banach spaces and their possible iterations. We prove that a dual space of any non-reflexive Banach space…

It is shown that if the dual of a separable Banach space has Property($K^*$) then the original space has the weak fixed point property. This is an improvement of previously results.

It is shown that if the dual of a Banach space, $X^*$, where the dual ball is weak* sequentially compact, has the weak* uniform Kadec-Klee property then $X^*$ has Property($K^*$). An example is given where the reverse implication does not…

A topological space is said to be sequential if every sequentially closed subspace is closed. We consider Banach spaces with weak*-sequential dual ball. In particular, we show that if $X$ is a Banach space with weak*-sequentially compact…

Let $X$ be a left introverted subspace of dual of a Banach algebra. We study $Z_t(X^*),$ the topological center of Banach algebra $X^*$. We fined the topological center of $(X\cA)^*$, when $\cA$ has a bounded right approximate identity and…

We prove that in a certain class E of nonseparable Banach spaces the norm topology of the dual ball is definable in terms of its weak* topology. Thus, any weak* homeomorphism between duals balls of spaces in E is automatically…

We investigate some subtle and interesting phenomena in the duality theory of operator spaces and operator algebras. In particular, we give several applications of operator space theory, based on the surprising fact that certain maps are…

A dual Banach algebra is a Banach algebra which is a dual space, with the multiplication being separately weak$^*$-continuous. We show that given a unital dual Banach algebra $\mc A$, we can find a reflexive Banach space $E$, and an…

These notes are dedicated to the study of the complexity of several classes of separable Banach spaces. We compute the complexity of the Banach-Saks property, the alternating Banach-Saks property, the complete continuous property, and the…

It is shown that the dual $\hat{A}$ of a separable $C^{\ast}$-algebra $A$ is discrete if and only if its Banach space dual has the weak$^{\ast}$-fixed point property. We prove further that these properties are equivalent to the uniform…

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…
