We investigate the structure of the free $p$-convex Banach lattice $FBL^{(p)}[E]$ over a Banach space $E$. After recalling why such a free lattice exists, and giving a convenient functional representation of it, we focus our study on how…
The relation between the free Banach lattice generated by a Banach space and free dual spaces is clarified. In particular, it is shown that for every Banach space $E$ the free $p$-convex Banach lattice generated by $E^{**}$, denoted…
We begin by describing the unit ball of the free $p$-convex Banach lattice over a Banach space $E$ (denoted by ${\mathrm{FBL}}^{(p)}[E]$) as a closed solid convex hull of an appropriate set. Based on it, we show that, if a Banach space $E$…
We study the free Banach lattice $FBL^{(p,\infty)}[E]$ with upper $p$-estimates generated by a Banach space $E$. Using a classical result of Pisier on factorization through $L^{p,\infty}(\mu)$ together with a finite dimensional reduction,…
Motivated by the construction of the free Banach lattice generated by a Banach space, we introduce and study several vector and Banach lattices of positively homogeneous functions defined on the dual of a Banach space $E$. The relations…
We study free Banach lattices over pre-ordered Banach spaces in the category of Banach lattices of a given convexity type. These generalise the free Banach lattices under convexity conditions over Banach spaces in the literature. Their…
We prove a fundamental property: the free vector lattice $FVL[E]$ over a Banach space E is order dense in the free p-convex Banach lattice $FBL^{(p)}[E],~~1 ^leq p \leq \infty,$ if and only if E is finite-dimensional. In a recent work,…
The construction of the free Banach lattice generated by a real Banach space is extended to the complex setting. It is shown that for every complex Banach space $E$ there is a complex Banach lattice $FBL_{\mathbb C}[E]$ containing a linear…
We construct and analyze the free Banach $f\!$-algebra $\operatorname{FB{\it f}A}[E]$ generated by a Banach space $E$, extending recent developments on free Banach lattices to the setting of Banach $f\!$-algebras, where multiplication…
We show that the free Banach lattice $\mathrm{FBL}(A)$ may be constructed as the completion of $\mathrm{FVL}(A)$ with respect to the maximal lattice seminorm $\nu$ on $\mathrm{FVL}(A)$ with $\nu(a)\le 1$ for all $a\in A$. We present a…
We prove the existence of free objects in certain subcategories of Banach lattices, including $p$-convex Banach lattices, Banach lattices with upper $p$-estimates, and AM-spaces. From this we immediately deduce that projectively universal…
The notions of $p$-convexity and concavity are fundamental tools for studying Banach lattices, as they partition the class of Banach lattices into a scale of spaces with $L_p$-like properties. Upper and lower $p$-estimates provide a…
We show that a free vector lattice over a real vector space $V$ can be realised canonically as a vector lattice of real-valued positively homogeneous functions on any linear subspace of its dual space that separates the points of $V$. This…
In this paper, we study octahedral norms in free Banach lattices $FBL[E]$ generated by a Banach space $E$. We prove that if $E$ is an $L_1(\mu)$-space, a predual of von Neumann algebra, a predual of a JBW$^*$-triple, the dual of an…
In this article we deal with the free Banach lattice $FBL\langle \mathbb{L} \rangle$ generated by a lattice $\mathbb{L}$. We prove that if $FBL\langle \mathbb{L} \rangle$ is projective then $\mathbb{L}$ has a maximum and a minimum. On the…
The free Banach lattice over a Banach space is introduced and analyzed. This generalizes the concept of free Banach lattice over a set of generators, and allows us to study the Nakano property and the density character of non-degenerate…
We study structural properties of the free Banach lattice $FBL\langle L\rangle$ generated by a distributive lattice $L$. We characterize when $FBL\langle L\rangle$ has a strong unit, compute its density character, analyze the density…
We give an overview of normality and conormality properties of pre-ordered Banach spaces. For pre-ordered Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ with closed cones we investigate normality of $B(X,Y)$ in terms of normality and conormality of the…
We introduce and study the enveloping norms of regularly P-operators between Banach lattices E and F, where P is a subspace of the space L(E,F) of continuous operators from E to F. We prove that if P is closed in L(E,F) in the operator norm…
We prove that, when $2<p<\infty$, in the free Banach lattice generated by $\ell_p$ (respectively by $c_0$), the absolute values of the canonical basis form an $\ell_r$-sequence, where $\frac{1}{r} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{p}$ (respectively…
