Although the basic idea behind the concept of a greedy basis had been around for some time, the formal development of a theory of greedy bases was initiated in 1999 with the publication of the article [S.~V.~Konyagin and V.~N.~Temlyakov, A…
The theory of M-ideals and multiplier mappings of Banach spaces naturally generalizes to left (or right) M-ideals and multiplier mappings of operator spaces. These subspaces and mappings are intrinsically characterized in terms of the…
We show that norms on certain Banach spaces $X$ can be approximated uniformly, and with arbitrary precision, on bounded subsets of $X$ by $C^{\infty}$ smooth norms and polyhedral norms. In particular, we show that this holds for any…
We present a construction that enables one to find Banach spaces $X$ whose sets $NA(X)$ of norm attaining functionals do not contain two-dimensional subspaces and such that, consequently, $X$ does not contain proximinal subspaces of finite…
A Banach space is said to be Grothendieck if weak and weak$^*$ convergent sequences in the dual space coincide. This notion has been quantificated by H. Bendov\'{a}. She has proved that $\ell_\infty$ has the quantitative Grothendieck…
A banach space X is a normed vector space, which is complete with respect to the metric induced by the norm. Given a bounded linear operator T acting on a banach space X, T is said to attain its norm if there is a unit vector z in X, such…
We study how well a quasi-Banach space can be coarsely embedded into a Hilbert space. Given any quasi-Banach space X which coarsely embeds into a Hilbert space, we compute its Hilbert space compression exponent. We also show that the…
We extend Pisier's abstract version of Grothendieck's theorem to general non-locally convex quasi-Banach spaces. We also prove a related result on factoring operators through a Banach space and apply our results to the study of…
We introduce a new class of quasi-Banach spaces as an extension of the classical Grand Lebesgue Spaces for small values of the parameter, and we investigate some its properties, in particular, completeness, fundamental function, operators…
In this paper, we study weights for the Thresholding Greedy Algorithm (TGA). While previous work focused on sequential weights $\varsigma = (s_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ on each positive integer, we study a more general weight $\omega =…
Let S be a dense sub-semigroup of the positive real numbers, and let X be a separable, reflexive Banach space. This note contains a proof that every weakly continuous contractive semigroup of operators on X over S can be extended to a…
We study almost square Banach spaces under a topological point of view. Indeed, we prove that the class of Banach spaces which admits an equivalent norm to be ASQ is that of those Banach spaces which contain an isomorphic copy of $c_0$. We…
In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the norm on an infinite dimensional Banach space to be sub differentiable, for various classes of Bananch spaces.
We investigate various aspects of the "weighted" greedy algorithm with respect to a Schauder basis. For a weight w, we describe w-greedy, w-almost-greedy and w-partially-greedy bases, and show some properties of w-semi-greedy bases. To…
We study the structure of families of well approximable elements of tensor products of Banach spaces including analogs of the classical quasianalytic classes in the sense of Bernstein and Beurling. As in the case of quasianalytic functions,…
We find a natural class of transformations ("flattened perturbations") of a norming M-basis in a Banach space X, which give a strong norming M-basis in X. This simplifies and generalizes the positive answer to the "strong M-basis problem"…
We study some questions concerning the structure of the set of spreading models of a separable infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$. In particular we give an example of a reflexive $X$ so that all spreading models of $X$ contain $\ell_1$…
We investigate the problem of improving the greedy-type constant of a basis by means of an equivalent renorming of the ambient Banach space. Our main result shows that if a Banach space admits an unconditional and bidemocratic basis whose…
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…
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…
