Following James' approach, we shall define the Banach space $J(e)$ for each vector $e=(e_1,e_2,...,e_d) \in \Bbb{R}^d$ with $ e_1 \ne 0$. The construction immediately implies that J(1) coincides with the Hilbert space $i_2$ and that…

We consider the problem of determining the complexity of the uniform homeomorphism relation between separable Banach spaces in the Borel reducibility hierarchy of analytic equivalence relations. We prove that the complete $K_{\sigma}$…

A natural class of ideals, almost isometric ideals, of Banach spaces is defined and studied. The motivation for working with this class of subspaces is our observation that they inherit diameter 2 properties and the Daugavet property.…

We consider the question whether there exists a Banach space $X$ of density continuum such that every Banach space of density not bigger than continuum isomorphically embeds into $X$ (called a universal Banach space of density $\cc$). It is…

We consider the variant of the Banach-Mazur distance $\delta_{BM}^{\rm cen} (C, D)$ of two convex bodies $C, D$ of $E^d$ with the additional requirement that the centroids of them coincide. We prove that $\delta_{BM}^{\rm cen} (C, D) \leq…

Relatively recently it was proved that if $\Gamma$ is an arbitrary set, then any equivalent norm on $c_0(\Gamma)$ can be approximated uniformly on bounded sets by polyhedral norms and $C^\infty$ smooth norms, with arbitrary precision. We…

The classical Banach space $L_1(L_p)$ consists of measurable scalar functions $f$ on the unit square for which $$\|f\| = \int_0^1\Big(\int_0^1 |f(x,y)|^p dy\Big)^{1/p}dx < \infty.$$ We show that $L_1(L_p)$ $(1 < p < \infty)$ is primary,…

We show that if $X$ and $Y$ are Banach spaces, where $Y$ is separable and polyhedral, and if $T:X \to Y$ is a bounded linear operator such that $T^*(Y^*)$ contains a boundary $B$ of $X$, then $X$ is separable and isomorphic to a polyhedral…

The following theorem is the main result of this note. Theorem 1. Let $(E, \|\cdot\|_E) $ be a rearrangement invariant Banach function space on the interval $[0, 1]$. If $E$ is isometric to $\L_p [0, 1]$ for some $1\le p<\infty$, then $E$…

Let P_1 and P_2 be two sets of points in the plane, so that P_1 is contained in a line L_1, P_2 is contained in a line L_2, and L_1 and L_2 are neither parallel nor orthogonal. Then the number of distinct distances determined by the pairs…

Suppose $X$ is a real or complexified Banach space containing a complemented copy of $\ell_p$, $p\in(1,2)$, and a copy (not necessarily complemented) of either $\ell_q$, $q\in(p,\infty)$, or $c_0$. Then $\mathcal{L}(X)$ and…

The spaces $W_\alpha$ are the Banach spaces whose duals are isometric to $\ell_1$ and such that the standard basis of $\ell_1$ is $w^*$-convergent to $\alpha\in \ell_1$. The core result of our paper proves that an $\ell_1$-predual $X$…

We characterize non-reflexive Banach spaces by a low-distortion (resp. isometric) embeddability of a certain metric graph up to a renorming. Also we study non-linear sufficient conditions for $\ell_1^n$ being $(1+\varepsilon)$-isomorphic to…

We construct infinitely differentiable norms and partitions of unity for a class of Banach spaces which includes all spaces $\C(K)$ with $K$ a countable compact space, and all spaces $\C_0[0,\Omega )$ with $\Omega $ an ordinal.

We study $k-$smoothness of bounded linear operators defined between arbitrary Banach spaces. As an application, we characterize $k-$smooth operators defined from $\ell_1^n$ to an arbitrary Banach space. We also completely characterize…

We study the complexities of isometry and isomorphism classes of separable Banach spaces in the Polish spaces of Banach spaces recently introduced and investigated by the authors in [14]. We obtain sharp results concerning the most…

We show that there exist $\mathcal L_\infty$-subspaces of separable isomorphically polyhedral Lindenstrauss spaces that cannot be renormed to be a Lindenstrauss space.

For $q\in(0,1),$ let $B_q$ denote the limit $q$-Bernstein operator. In this paper, the distance between $B_q$ and $B_r$ for distinct $q$ and $r$ in the operator norm on $C[0,1]$ is estimated, and it is proved that $1\leqslant…

We give a formalism for approximate isomorphism in continuous logic simultaneously generalizing those of two papers by Ben Yaacov and by Ben Yaacov, Doucha, Nies, and Tsankov, which are largely incompatible. With this we explicitly exhibit…

We show that a subspace of of $\ell_\infty^N$ of dimension $n>(\log N\log \log N)^2$ contains $2$-isomorphic copies of $\ell_\infty^k$ where $k$ tends to infinity with $n/(\log N\log \log N)^2$. More precisely, for every $\eta>0$, we show…
