The problems connected with equivalent norms lie at the heart of Banach space theory. This is a short survey on some recent as well as classical results and open problems in renormings of Banach spaces.

Using the game approach to fragmentability, we give new and simpler proofs of the following known results: (a) If the Banach space admits an equivalent Kadec norm, then its weak topology is fragmented by a metric which is stronger than the…

For a compact Hausdorff space $K$, we give descriptions of the dual of $C(K)^\delta$, the Dedekind completion of the Banach lattice $C(K)$ of continuous, real-valued functions on $K$. We characterize those functionals which are…

We extend the notions of Dedekind complete and sigma-Dedekind complete Banach lattices to Banach C(K)-modules. As our main result we prove for these modules an analogue of Lozanovsky's well known characterization of Banach lattices with…

We present a construction that enables one to find Banach spaces $X$ whose sets $NA(X)$ of norm attaining functionals do not contain two-dimensional subspaces and such that, consequently, $X$ does not contain proximinal subspaces of finite…

The classical criterion for compactness in Banach spaces of functions can be reformulated into a simple tightness condition in the time-frequency domain. This description preserves more explicitly the symmetry between time and frequency…

A reflexive Banach space with an unconditional basis admits an equivalent $1$-unconditional $2R$ norm and embeds into a reflexive space with a $1$-symmetric $2R$ norm. Partial results on $1$-symmetric $2R$ renormings of spaces with a…

A Banach space is said to be Grothendieck if weak and weak$^*$ convergent sequences in the dual space coincide. This notion has been quantificated by H. Bendov\'{a}. She has proved that $\ell_\infty$ has the quantitative Grothendieck…

We prove that if $K$ and $L$ are compact spaces and $C(K)$ and $C(L)$ are isomorphic as Banach spaces then $K$ has a $\pi$-base consisting of open sets $U$ such that $\bar{U}$ is a continuous image of some compact subspace of $L$. This…

The problem of characterizing normed ordered spaces which admit a representation in the algebraic, order and norm sense as a subspace of $C(X)$, the space of all continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space is a classical problem that…

We study the classification of spaces of continuous functions $C(K)$ under positive linear maps. For infinite countable compacta, we show that whenever $C(K)$ and $C(L)$ are isomorphic, there exists an isomorphism $T:C(K)\to C(L)$…

We investigate isomorphic embeddings $T: C(K)\to C(L)$ between Banach spaces of continuous functions. We show that if such an embedding $T$ is a positive operator then $K$ is an image of $L$ under a upper semicontinuous set-function having…

Motivated by some recent results, but also referring to recognized classics, we compute the essential norm and the weak essential norm of multiplication operators acting between two distinct K{\" o}the spaces both defined over the same…

We study the class of compact spaces that appear as structure spaces of separable Banach lattices. In other words, we analyze what $C(K)$ spaces appear as principal ideals of separable Banach lattices. Among other things, it is shown that…

In this paper we show that by renorming an ordered Banach space, every cone P can be converted to a normal cone with constant K = 1 and consequently due to this approach every cone metric space is really a metric one and every theorem in…

The applicability of classical Banach contraction mapping principle in solving diverse problems caught the attention of several researchers in various fields of science and engineering. Since its introduction, many extensions and…

The purpose of this paper is devoted to studying representation of measures of non generalized compactness, in particular, measures of noncompactness, of non-weak compactness, and of non-super weak compactness, etc, defined on Banach spaces…

We construct a compact linearly ordered space $K$ of weight aleph one, such that the space $C(K)$ is not isomorphic to a Banach space with a projectional resolution of the identity, while on the other hand, $K$ is a continuous image of a…

A classical result of Cembranos and Freniche states that the C(K, X) spaces contains a complemented copy of c_0 whenever K is an infinite compact Hausdorff space and X is an infinite dimensional Banach space. This paper takes this result as…

For k being the first uncountable cardinal w_1 or k being the cardinality of the continuum c, we prove that it is consistent that there is no Banach space of density k in which it is possible to isomorphically embed every Banach space of…
