In 2022, Hatori gave a sufficient condition for complex Banach spaces to have the complex Mazur--Ulam property. In this paper, we introduce a class of complex Banach spaces $B$ that do not satisfy the condition but enjoy the property that…

In this paper we present new characterizations of Banach spaces whose duals are isomorphic to $l_{1}(\Gamma),$ extending results of Stegall, Lewis-Stegall and Cilia-D'Anna-Guti\'{e}rrez.

Let $X$ be a Banach space which is lush. It is shown that if a subspace of $X$ is either an L-summand or an M-ideal then it is also lush.

We show that for real Banach spaces that are either separable or dual spaces, the Lipschitz numerical index coincides with the classical (linear) numerical index. This result provides partial evidence toward the question posed by Wang,…

We prove thatthe Banach space $(\oplus_{n=1}^\infty \ell_p^n)_{\ell_q}$, which is isomorphic to certain Besov spaces, has a greedy basis whenever $1\leq p \leq\infty$ and $1<q<\infty$. Furthermore, the Banach spaces $(\oplus_{n=1}^\infty…

We provide a new proof of Ader's characterisation of the ellipse of minimal Banach-Mazur distance to the unit circle of a normed plane in terms of contact and extremal points. Our method reveals the relation of this problem to the Chebyshev…

For $n\geq 2, p<2$ and $q>2,$ does there exist an $n$-dimensional Banach space different from Hilbert spaces which is isometric to subspaces of both $L_{p}$ and $L_{q}$? Generalizing the construction from the paper "Zonoids whose polars are…

We characterize real Banach spaces $Y$ such that the pair $(\ell_\infty ^n, Y)$ has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property for operators. To this purpose it is essential the use of an appropriate basis of the domain space $\R^n$. As a…

We prove that every isometry between the unit spheres of 2-dimensional Banach spaces extends to a linear isometry of the Banach spaces. This resolves the famous Tingley's problem in the class of 2-dimensional Banach spaces.

We give a simple example of a countable metric space $M$ that does not embed bi-Lipschitz with distortion strictly less than 2 into any Asplund space. Actually, if $M$ embeds with distortion strictly less than 2 to a Banach space $X$, then…

We study finite subsets of $\ell_2$, and more generally any metric space, and consider whether these isometrically embed into a Banach space. Our results partially answer a question of Ostrovskii, on whether every infinite-dimensional…

We derive various sharp bounds on moments of the distance between two independent random vectors taking values in a Banach space.

Assuming the generalized continuum hypothesis we construct arbitrarily big indecomposable Banach spaces. i.e., such that whenever they are decomposed as $X\oplus Y$, then one of the closed subspaces $X$ or $Y$ must be finite dimensional. It…

We characterize $k-$smoothness of an element on the unit sphere of a finite-dimensional polyhedral Banach space. Then we study $k-$smoothness of an operator $T \in \mathbb{L}(\ell_{\infty}^n,\mathbb{Y}),$ where $\mathbb{Y}$ is a…

Several new characterizations of Banach spaces containing a subspace isomorphic to $\ell^1$, are obtained. These are applied to the question of when $\ell^1$ embeds in the injective tensor product of two Banach spaces.

Let \(X\) be a compact metric space and \(E\) be a Banach space. \(\lip (X, E)\) denotes the Banach space of all \(E\)-valued little Lipschitz functions on \(X\). We show that \(\lip (X, E)^{**}\) is isometrically isomorphic to Banach space…

Let $\msp$ be a purely non-atomic measure space, and let $1 < p < \infty$. If $\weakLp\msp$ is isomorphic, as a Banach space, to $\weakLp\mspp$ for some purely atomic measure space $\mspp$, then there is a measurable partition $\Omega =…

Naor and Mendel's metric cotype extends the notion of the Rademacher cotype of a Banach space to all metric spaces. Every Banach space has metric cotype at least 2. We show that any metric space that is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to an…

We study Banach spaces X with a strongly asymptotic l_p basis (any disjointly supported finite set of vectors far enough out with respect to the basis behaves like l_p) which are minimal (X embeds into every infinite dimensional subspace).…

We characterise those Banach spaces $X$ which satisfy that $L(Y,X)$ is octahedral for every non-zero Banach space $Y$. They are those satisfying that, for every finite dimensional subspace $Z$, $\ell_\infty$ can be finitely-representable in…
