A Banach space $X$ is elastic if there is a constant $K$ so that whenever a Banach space $Y$ embeds into $X$, then there is an embedding of $Y$ into $X$ with constant $K$. We prove that $C[0,1]$ embeds into separable infinite dimensional…

Given an infinite matrix $M=(m_{nk})$ we study a family of sequence spaces $\ell_M^p$ associated with it. When equipped with a suitable norm $\|\cdot\|_{M,p}$ we prove some basic properties of the Banach spaces of sequences…

We present an example of a Banach space whose numerical index is strictly greater than the numerical index of its dual, giving a negative answer to a question which has been latent since the beginning of the seventies. We also show a…

In this note the result by A. Swift concerning the embeddability of countably branching bundle graphs into Banach spaces is extended from the context of reflexive spaces with an unconditional asymptotic structure to the context of dual…

Let $(X,\tau)$ be a Hausdorff space, where $X$ is an infinite set. The compact complement topology $\tau^{\star}$ on $X$ is defined by: $\tau^{\star}=\{\emptyset\} \cup \{X\setminus M, \text{where $M$ is compact in $(X,\tau)$}\}$. In this…

This paper deals with the problem of when, given a collection $\mathcal C$ of weakly compact operators between separable Banach spaces, there exists a separable reflexive Banach space $Z$ with a Schauder basis so that every element in…

We introduce the strong Gelfand-Phillips property for locally convex spaces and give several characterizations of this property. We characterize the strong Gelfand-Phillips property among locally convex spaces admitting a stronger Banach…

We show that every Banach space in which weakly compact sets are super weakly compact in automatically weakly sequentially complete answering a question by Silber (2024). In the proof we show how to build a weakly compact set which is not…

This paper aims to study the dual of an extended locally convex space. In particular, we study the weak and weak* topologies as well as the topology of uniform convergence on bounded subsets of an extended locally convex space. As an…

For every Banach space $X$ with a Schauder basis consider the Banach algebra $\mathbb{R} I\oplus\mathcal{K}_\mathrm{diag}(X)$ of all diagonal operators that are of the form $\lambda I + K$. We prove that $\mathbb{R}…

To any pair ( M , theta ) where M is a family of finite subsets of N compact in the pointwise topology, and 0<theta < 1 , we associate a Tsirelson-type Banach space T_M^theta . It is shown that if the Cantor-Bendixson index of M is greater…

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety over $\mathbf{C}$. We define a canonical compactification $X^{\!\urcorner}$ of the complex analytic space $X(\mathbf{C})$ by adding a Berkovich space over a trivially valued field at the boundary. The…

A Banach space $X$ is said to be Q.H.I. if eve\-ry infinite dimensional quo\-tient spa\-ce of $X$ is H.I.: that is, a space is Q.H.I. if the H.I. property is not only stable passing to subspaces, but also passing to quotients and to the…

the main goal of this paper is to prove that any Banach space X, that every dual ball in X** is weak* -separable, or every weak* -closed convex subset in X** is weak* -separable, or every norm-closed convex set in X* is constructible,…

It is shown that if the dual of a Banach space satisfies Property($K^*$) then $R(X) \leq 1 + \frac{\displaystyle 1}{\displaystyle 1 + r_{X^*}(1)} < 2$ where $r_{X^*}(c)$ is Opial's modulus for $X^*.$ Thus $X$ has the weak fixed point…

We present a completely new structure theoretic approach to the dilation theory of linear operators. Our main result is the following theorem: if $X$ is a super-reflexive Banach space and $T$ is contained in the weakly closed convex hull of…

We study the class of compact spaces that appear as structure spaces of separable Banach lattices. In other words, we analyze what $C(K)$ spaces appear as principal ideals of separable Banach lattices. Among other things, it is shown that…

We construct a reflexive Banach space $X_\mathcal{D}$ with an unconditional basis such that all spreading models admitted by normalized block sequences in $X_\mathcal{D}$ are uniformly equivalent to the unit vector basis of $\ell_1$, yet…

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…
