A subspace of the space, L(n), of traceless complex $n\times n$ matrices can be specified by requiring that the entries at some positions $(i,j)$ be zero. The set, $I$, of these positions is a (zero) pattern and the corresponding subspace…
We study density requirements on a given Banach space that guarantee the existence of subsymmetric basic sequences by extending Tsirelson's well-known space to larger index sets. We prove that for every cardinal $\kappa$ smaller than the…
We investigate questions of maximal symmetry in Banach spaces and the structure of certain bounded non-unitarisable groups on Hilbert space. In particular, we provide structural information about bounded groups with an essentially unique…
In this paper, we show that the existence of certain first-countable compact-like extensions is equivalent to the equality between corresponding cardinal characteristics of the continuum. For instance, $\mathfrak b=\mathfrak s=\mathfrak c$…
A fan is an arcwise-connected continuum, which is hereditarily unicoherent and has exactly one ramification point. Many of the known examples of fans were constructed as 1-dimensional continua that are unions of arcs which intersect in…
We propose in this short note a prime numbers-based method for constructing probability measures on infinite-dimensional Banach spaces annihilating all finite-dimensional subspaces, supplementing the methods of construction of Gaussian…
It is well known that if the nonempty player of the Banach-Mazur game has a winning strategy on a space, then that space is Baire in all powers even in the box topology. The converse of this implication may be true also: We know of no…
A non RNP Banach space E is constructed such that $E^{*}$ is separable and RNP is equivalent to PCP on the subsets of E.
The category $Ban$ of Banach spaces and linear maps of norm $\leq 1$ is locally $\aleph_1$-presentable but not locally finitely presentable. We prove, however, that $Ban$ is locally finitely presentable in the enriched sense over complete…
We introduce the notion of an M-family of infinite subsets of $\nn$ which is implicitly contained in the work of A. R. D. Mathias. We study the structure of a pair of orthogonal hereditary families $\aaa$ and $\bbb$, where $\aaa$ is…
This paper deals with the following types of problems: Assume a Banach space $X$ has some property (P). Can it be embedded into some Banach space $Z$ with a finite dimensional decomposition having property (P), or more generally, having a…
The purpose of this article is to generalize some known characterizations of Banach space properties in terms of graph preclusion. In particular, it is shown that superreflexivity can be characterized by the non-equi-bi-Lipschitz…
We investigate possible cardinalities of maximal antichains in the poset of copies $\langle \mathbb P(\mathbb X),\subset \rangle$ of a countable ultrahomogeneous relational structure $\mathbb X$. It turns out that if the age of $\mathbb X$…
Recently it has been proved that, assuming that there is an almost disjoint family of cardinality (2^{\mathfrak c}) in (\mathfrak c) (which is assured, for instance, by either Martin's Axiom, or CH, or even $2^{<\mathfrak c=\mathfrak c$})…
Let c=2^aleph0 denote the cardinality of the continuum and let a,b,k be infinite cardinal numbers with a<b\leq 2^a. We show that there exist precisely 2^b T0-spaces of size a and weight b up to homeomorphism. Among these non-homeomorphic…
We consider linear bounded operators acting in Banach spaces with a basis, such operators can be represented by an infinite matrix. We prove that for an invertible operator there exists a sequence of invertible finite-dimensional operators…
A Banach space is said to have the ball-covering property (abbreviated BCP) if its unit sphere can be covered by countably many closed, or equivalently, open balls off the origin. Let $K$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space and $X$ be a…
We exhibit a family of complex manifolds, which has a member at each odd complex dimension and which has the same cohomology groups as the complex projective space at that dimension, but not homotopy equivalent to it. We also analyze the…
A poset P is called reversible if every order preserving bijective self map of P is an order automorphism. P is called hereditarily reversible if every subposet of P is reversible. We give a complete characterization of hereditarily…
We study properties of representing and absolutely representing systems of subspaces in Banach spaces. We also present sufficient conditions for the system of subspaces to be a representing system of subspaces.
