We study the problem of the existence of a common algebraic complement for a pair of closed subspaces of a Banach space. We prove the following two characterizations: (1) The pairs of subspaces of a Banach space with a common complement…

We introduce an ordinal index which characterizes weak compactness of operators between Banach spaces. We study when classes consisting of operators having bounded index form a closed ideal, the distinctness of the classes, and the…

We introduce two notions of amenability for a Banach algebra $\cal A$. Let $I$ be a closed two-sided ideal in $\cal A$, we say $\cal A$ is $I$-weakly amenable if the first cohomology group of $\cal A$ with coefficients in the dual space…

We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of symmetric space structures on quotients of Banach symmetric spaces. Along the way, we investigate the different kinds of reflection subspaces and their Lie triple systems.

For every $\alpha<\omega_1$ we establish the existence of a separable Banach space whose Szlenk index is $\omega^{\alpha\omega+1}$ and which is universal for all separable Banach spaces whose Szlenk-index does not exceed…

There exists a real hereditarily indecomposable Banach space $X$ such that the quotient space $L(X)/S(X)$ by strictly singular operators is isomorphic to the complex field (resp. to the quaternionic division algebra). Up to isomorphism, the…

A nonlinear equation in a Banach space is written as a linear equation with a linear operator depending on the unknown solution. This method, which we call a global linearization method, differs essentially from the local linearization…

Let $\mathcal A$ be a Banach algebra. Using the concept of module biflatness, we show that the module amenability of the second dual $\mathcal A^{**}$ (with the first Arens product) necessitates the module amenability of $\mathcal A$. We…

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…

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…

Under the weak assumption on a Banach space $E$ that $E\oplus E$ embeds isomorphically into $E$, we provide a characterisation of when a Banach space $X$ coarsely embeds into $E$ via a single numerical invariant.

This thesis addresses Pour-El and Richards' fourth question from their book "Computability in analysis and physics", concerning the relation between higher order recursion theory and computability in analysis. Among other things it is shown…

In this paper we provide some extension results for n-cyclically monotone operators in reflexive Banach spaces by making use of the Fenchel duality. In this way we give a positive answer to a question posed by Bauschke and Wang in [4].

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.…

A Banach space X with closed unit ball B is said to have property 2-beta, repsectively 2-NUC if for every \ep > 0, there exists \delta > 0 such that for every \ep-separated sequence (x_n) in the unit ball B, and every x in B, there are…

Let SB be the standard coding for separable Banach spaces as subspaces of $C(\Delta)$. In these notes, we show that if $\mathbb{B} \subset \text{SB}$ is a Borel subset of spaces with separable dual, then the assignment $X \mapsto X^*$ can…

Given a separable Banach space $E$, we construct an extremely non-complex Banach space (i.e. a space satisfying that $\|Id + T^2\|=1+\|T^2\|$ for every bounded linear operator $T$ on it) whose dual contains $E^*$ as an $L$-summand. We also…

In this paper structure of infinite dimensional Banach spaces is studied by using an asymptotic approach based on stabilization at infinity of finite dimensional subspaces which appear everywhere far away. This leads to notions of…

This work demonstrates the existence of both negative refraction and a negative refractive index in an optical uniaxial absorbent medium that can be characterized by ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices. Negative refraction occurs…

We introduce two new local l_1-indices of the same type as the Bourgain l_1 index; the l_1^+-index and the l_1^+-weakly null index. We show that the l_1^+-weakly null index of a Banach space X is the same as the Szlenk index of X, provided…
