The concept of uniform convexity of a Banach space was generalized to linear operators between Banach spaces and studied by Beauzamy [1976]. Under this generalization, a Banach space X is uniformly convex if and only if its identity map I_X…

In this paper, we will study concentration inequalities for Banach space-valued martingales. Firstly, we prove that a Banach space $X$ is linearly isomorphic to a $p$-uniformly smooth space ($1<p\leq 2$) if and only if an Azuma-type…

In the present paper we introduce the notion of strongly orthogonal martingales. Moreover, we show that for any UMD Banach space $X$ and for any $X$-valued strongly orthogonal martingales $M$ and $N$ such that $N$ is weakly differentially…

For each ordinal $\xi$ and each $1<p<\infty$, we offer a natural, ismorphic characterization of those spaces and operators which admit an equivalent $\xi$-$p$-asymptotically uniformly smooth norm. We also introduce the notion of…

We provide a short characterization of $p$-asymptotic uniform smoothability and asymptotic uniform flatenability of operators and of Banach spaces. We use these characterizations to show that many asymptotic uniform smoothness properties…

It is shown that a Banach space admits an equivalent norm whose modulus of uniform convexity has power-type p if and only if it is Markov p-convex. Counterexamples are constructed to natural questions related to isomorphic uniform convexity…

We extend a precise renorming result of Godefroy, Kalton, and Lancien regarding asymptotically uniformly smooth norms of separable Banach spaces with Szlenk index $\omega$. For every ordinal $\xi$, we characterize the operators, and…

For $1<p\le \infty$, we show the existence of a Banach space which is both injectively and surjectively universal for the class of all separable Banach spaces with an equivalent $p$-asymptotically uniformly smooth norm. We prove that this…

The aim of this note is to complement and extend some recent results on Whitley's indices of thinness and thickness in three main directions. Firstly, we investigate both the indices when forming $\ell_p$-sums of Banach spaces, and obtain…

We study the structure of the space of coarse Lipschitz maps between Banach spaces. In particular we introduce the notion of norm attaining coarse Lipschitz maps. We extend to the case of norm attaining coarse Lipschitz equivalences, a…

We show that norms on certain Banach spaces $X$ can be approximated uniformly, and with arbitrary precision, on bounded subsets of $X$ by $C^{\infty}$ smooth norms and polyhedral norms. In particular, we show that this holds for any…

These notes concern the nonlinear geometry of Banach spaces, asymptotic uniform smoothness and several Banach-Saks-like properties. We study the existence of certain concentration inequalities in asymptotically uniformly smooth Banach…

Certain previously known upper bounds on the moments of the norm of martingales in 2-smooth Banach spaces are improved. Some of these improvements hold even for sums of independent real-valued random variables. Applications to concentration…

Let X be a real uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space and C a nonempty closed and convex subset of X. Let Pc from X to C denote the (standard) metric projection operator. In this paper, we define the Gateaux directional…

We introduce a suitable notion of asymptotic smoothness on infinite dimensional Banach spaces, and we prove that, under some structural restrictions on the space, the convex envelope of an asymptotically smooth function is asymptotically…

For each ordinal $\xi$ and each $1\leqslant q<\infty$, we define the notion of $\xi$-$q$-summable Szlenk index. When $\xi=0$ and $q=1$, this recovers the usual notion of summable Szlenk index. We define for an arbitrary weak$^*$-compact set…

The first named author introduced the notion of upper stability for metric spaces as a relaxation of stability. The motivation was a search for a new invariant to distinguish the class of reflexive Banach spaces from stable metric spaces in…

We define and discuss transfinite asymptotic notions of smoothability, type, and equal norm type. We prove distinctness of these notions for a proper class of ordinals and that each class is an ideal. We also extend some results of…

We introduce the notion of approximate norm attainment set of a bounded linear operator between Banach spaces and use it to obtain a complete characterization of smooth points in the space of compact linear operators, provided the domain…

In the article is introduced a new class of Banach spaces that are called sub B-convex. Namely, a Banach space X is said to be B -convex if it may be represented as a direct sum l_1+ W, where W is B-convex. It will be shown that any…
