It is shown that every conditional spreading sequence can be decomposed into two well behaved parts, one being unconditional and the other being convex block homogeneous, i.e. equivalent to its convex block sequences. This decomposition is…
We give a self-contained treatment of symmetric Banach sequence spaces and some of their natural properties. We are particularly interested in the symmetry of the norm and the existence of symmetric linear functionals. Many of the presented…
A well known application of Ramsey's Theorem to Banach Space Theory is the notion of a spreading model (e'_i) of a normalized basic sequence (x_i) in a Banach space X. We show how to generalize the construction to define a new creature…
We first include a result of the second author showing that the Banach space S is complementably minimal. We then show that every block sequence of the unit vector basis of S has a subsequence which spans a space isomorphic to its square.…
We present some properties of orthogonality and relate them with support disjoint and norm inequalities in p Schatten ideals. In addition, we investigate the problem of characterization of norm parallelism for bounded linear operators. We…
We show that any Banach space contains a continuum of non isomorphic subspaces or a minimal subspace. We define an ergodic Banach space $X$ as a space such that $E_0$ Borel reduces to isomorphism on the set of subspaces of $X$, and show…
This paper brings new results on the FPP in Banach spaces $X$ with a Schauder basis. We first deal with the problem of whether there is a Banach space isomorphic to $\co$ having the FPP. We show that the answer is negative if $X$ contains a…
An ordered Banach space $X$ is said to have the Levi property or to be regular if every increasing order bounded net (equivalently, sequence) is norm convergent. We prove four theorems related to this classical concept: (i) The Levi…
Let $1\le p<\infty$. A symmetric space $X$ on $[0,1]$ is said to be $p$-disjointly homogeneous (resp. restricted $p$-disjointly homogeneous) if every sequence of normalized pairwise disjoint functions from $X$ (resp. characteristic…
We give examples of two Banach spaces. One Banach space has no spreading model which contains $\ell_p$ ($1\le p<\infty$) or $c_0$. The other space has an unconditional basis for which $\ell_p$ ($1\le p<\infty$) and $c_0$ are block finitely…
We investigate possible quantifications of the Banach-Saks property and the weak Banach-Saks property. We prove quantitative versions of relationships of the Banach-Saks property of a set with norm compactness and weak compactness. We…
In this paper, we introduce the notions uniformly p-convergent sets and weakly p-sequentially continuous differentiable mappings. Then we obtain a sufficient condition for those Banach spaces which either contain no copy of $\ell_1$ or have…
It is shown that for every $k\in\mathbb{N}$ and every spreading sequence $\{e_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ that generates a uniformly convex Banach space $E$, there exists a uniformly convex Banach space $X_{k+1}$ admitting…
A Banach space $X$ is said to have property (K) if every $w^*$-convergent sequence in $X^*$ admits a convex block subsequence which converges with respect to the Mackey topology. We study the connection of this property with strongly weakly…
It is well known that weakly $p$-summable sequences in a Banach space $E$ are associated to bounded operators from $\ell_{p^*}$ to $E$, and unconditionally $p$-summable sequences in $E$ are associated to compact operators from $\ell_{p^*}$…
Our goal in this paper is to advance the state of the art of the topic of uniqueness of unconditional basis. To that end we establish general conditions on a pair $(\mathbb{X}, \mathbb{Y})$ formed by a quasi-Banach space $\mathbb{X}$ and a…
A Banach space contains either a minimal subspace or a continuum of incomparable subspaces. General structure results for analytic equivalence relations are applied in the context of Banach spaces to show that if $E_0$ does not reduce to…
A reflexive Banach space $X$ with a basis $(e_i)$ is constructed having the property that every monotone basis is block finitely representable in each block basis of $X$.
We study random unconditional convergence for a basis in a Banach space. The connections between this notion and classical unconditionality are explored. In particular, we analyze duality relations, reflexivity, uniqueness of these bases…
It is shown that for each separable Banach space $X$ not admitting $\ell_1$ as a spreading model there is a space $Y$ having $X$ as a quotient and not admitting any $\ell_p$ for $1 \leq p < \infty$ or $c_0$ as a spreading model. We also…
