We show that every Banach space $X$ containing an isomorphic copy of $c_0$ has an infinite equilateral set and also that if $X$ has a bounded biorthogonal system of size $\alpha$ then it can be renormed so as to admit an equilateral set of…
Given an infinite matrix $M=(m_{nk})$ we study a family of sequence spaces $\ell_M^p$ associated with it. When equipped with a suitable norm $\|\cdot\|_{M,p}$ we prove some basic properties of the Banach spaces of sequences…
We show that there exists a strong uniform embedding from any proper metric space into any Banach space without cotype. Then we prove a result concerning the Lipschitz embedding of locally finite subsets of $\mathcal{L}_{p}$-spaces. We use…
A recent result of T.~Abrahamsen, P.~H\'ajek and S.~Troyanski states that a separable Banach space is almost square if and only if there exists $h\in S_{X^{****}}$ such that $\|x+h\|=\max\{\|x\|,1\}$ for all $x\in X$. The proof passes…
A set $E$ in a Banach space $X$ is compactivorous if for every compact set $K$ in $X$ there is a nonempty, (relatively) open subset of $K$ which can be translated into $E$. In a separable Banach space, this is a sufficient condition which…
Let $H$ be an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and let ${\mathcal G}_{\infty}(H)$ be the set of all closed subspaces of $H$ whose dimension and codimension both are infinite. We investigate (not necessarily surjective)…
Previously only two examples of Banach space quotient maps which do not admit uniformly continuous right inverses were known: one due to Aharoni and Lindenstrauss and one due to Kalton ($\ell^\infty\to\ell^\infty/c_{0}$). We show through an…
The main result of the paper: Given any $\varepsilon>0$, every locally finite subset of $\ell_2$ admits a $(1+\varepsilon)$-bilipschitz embedding into an arbitrary infinite-dimensional Banach space. The result is based on two results which…
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.…
In [8] probabilistic methods, in particular a variant of the Weak Law of Large Numbers related to the Bernoulli distribution, have been used to show that for every infinite compact spaces K and L there exists a sequence $(\mu_n)$ of…
We prove that if $ C $ is a family of separable Banach spaces which is analytic with respect to the Effros-Borel structure and none member of $ C $ is isometrically universal for all separable Banach spaces, then there exists a separable…
Given an infinite set $\Gamma$, we prove that the space of complex null sequences $c_0(\Gamma)$ satisfies the Mazur-Ulam property, that is, for each Banach space $X$, every surjective isometry from the unit sphere of $c_0(\Gamma)$ onto the…
We prove that every separable Banach space containing $\ell_1$ can be equivalently renormed so that its bidual space is octahedral, which answers, in the separable case, a question by Godefroy in 1989. As a direct consequence, we obtain…
We prove that every Banach space containing a subspace isomorphic to $\co$ fails the fixed point property. The proof is based on an amalgamation approach involving a suitable combination of known results and techniques, including James's…
Some fixed point results of classical theory, such as Banach's Fixed Point Theorem, have been previously extended by other authors to asymmetric spaces in recent years. The aim of this paper is to extend to asymmetric spaces some others…
We prove that if $(v_i)$ is a normalized basic sequence and X is a Banach space such that every normalized weakly null sequence in X has a subsequence that is dominated by $(v_i)$, then there exists a uniform constant $C\geq1$ such that…
In this paper we study decay of correlations and limit theorems for generalized baker's transformations. Our examples are piecewise non-uniformly hyperbolic maps on the unit square that posses two spatially separated lines of indifferent…
We prove a Hopf bifurcation theorem in general Banach spaces, which improves a classical result by Crandall and Rabinowitz. Actually, our theorem does not need any compactness conditions, which leads to wider applications. In particular,…
While numerous extensions of Banach's fixed point theorem typically offer only sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point and the convergence of iterative sequences, this study introduces a generalization…
We give a sufficient criterion, which we call stability, for a coarse Lipschitz map $f$ from a complete manifold $X$ with Ricci curvature bounded below to a proper Hadamard space $Y$ to be within bounded distance of a harmonic map. We prove…
