A Banach space E is said to have Property (w) if every (bounded linear) operator from E into E' is weakly compact. We give some interesting examples of James type Banach spaces with Property (w). We also consider the passing of Property (w)…

We present some extensions of classical results that involve elements of the dual of Banach spaces, such as Bishop-Phelp's theorem and James' compactness theorem, but restricting to sets of functionals determined by geometrical properties.…

Fixed a Banach operator ideal $\mathcal A$, we introduce and investigate two new approximation properties, which are strictly weaker than the bounded approximation property (BAP) for $\mathcal A$ of Lima, Lima and Oja (2010). We call them…

Our main result is the following: {\it Let $E$ be a Banach space and $D$ be a weakly compact subset of $E$ with $0\notin D$. If $A$ is a bounded subset of $E$ such that every $x^*\in E^*$ with $x^*(D) >0$ attains its supremum on $A$, then…

A nonempty closed convex bounded subset $C$ of a Banach space is said to have the weak approximate fixed point property if for every continuous map $f:C\to C$ there is a sequence $\{x_n\}$ in $C$ such that $x_n-f(x_n)$ converge weakly to 0.…

For an operator T from X to Y denote m(T) the infimum of $||Tx||$ on the unit sphere $S_X$ of X. A sequence $(x_n)$ in $S_X$ is said to be minimizing for T if $||Tx_n||$ tends to m(T). In 2020 U. S. Chakraborty introduced and studied the…

We introduce two measures of weak non-compactness $Ja_E$ and $Ja$ that quantify, via distances, the idea of boundary behind James' compactness theorem. These measures tell us, for a bounded subset $C$ of a Banach space $E$ and for given…

A pair of Banach spaces $(E, F)$ is said to have the weak maximizing property (WMP, for short) if for every bounded linear operator $T$ from $E$ into $F$, the existence of a non-weakly null maximizing sequence for $T$ implies that $T$…

We give some characterizations of disjointly weakly compact sets in Banach lattices, namely, those sets in whose solid hulls every disjoint sequence converges weakly to zero. As an application, we prove that a bounded linear operator from a…

We prove some results on weakly almost square Banach spaces and their relatives. On the one hand, we discuss weak almost squareness in the setting of Banach function spaces. More precisely, let $(\Omega,\Sigma)$ be a measurable space, let…

We prove that a Banach space has the uniform approximation property with proportional growth of the uniformity function iff it is a weak Hilbert space.

This paper studies the bounded approximation property (BAP) in quasi Banach spaces. In the first part of the paper we show that the kernel of any surjective operator $\ell_p\to X$ has the BAP when $X$ has it and $0<p\leq 1$, which is an…

Given a Banach space X and a subspace Y, the pair (X,Y) is said to have the approximation property (AP) provided there is a net of finite rank bounded linear operators on X all of which leave the subspace Y invariant such that the net…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a pseudo weakly compact operator of order $ p $ between Banach spaces. Also we study the notion of $ p $-Dunford-Pettis relatively compact property which is in "general" weaker than the…

Let WAP(A) be the space of all weakly almost periodic functionals on a Banach algebra A. The Banach algebra A for which the natural embedding of A into WAP(A)* is bounded below is called a WAP-algebra. We show that the second dual of a…

A Banach space has the weak fixed point property if its dual space has a weak$^*$ sequentially compact unit ball and the dual space satisfies the weak$^*$ uniform Kadec-Klee property; and it has the \fpp if there exists $\epsilon>0$ such…

A theorem of Davis, Figiel, Johnson and Pe{\l}czy\'nski tells us that weakly-compact operators between Banach spaces factor through reflexive Banach spaces. The machinery underlying this result is that of the real interpolation method,…

We give a sufficient condition for a pair of Banach spaces $(X,Y)$ to have the following property: whenever $W_1 \subseteq X$ and $W_2 \subseteq Y$ are sets such that $\{x\otimes y: \, x\in W_1, \, y\in W_2\}$ is weakly precompact in the…

We define and study asymptotically symmetric Banach spaces (a.s.) and its variations: weakly a.s. (w.a.s.) and weakly normalized a.s. (w.n.a.s.). If X is a.s. then all spreading models of X are uniformly symmetric. We show that the converse…

The main results of the paper: {\bf (1)} The dual Banach space $X^*$ contains a linear subspace $A\subset X^*$ such that the set $A^{(1)}$ of all limits of weak$^*$ convergent bounded nets in $A$ is a proper norm-dense subset of $X^*$ if…
