For every couple of Hausdorff functions $ \psi$ and $\varphi $ verifying some mild assumptions, there exists a compact subset $ K $ of the Baire space such that the $ \varphi$-Hausdorff measure and the $ \psi$-packing measure on $ K$ are…

We study two form of selective selective separability, $SS$ and $SS^+$, on countable spaces with an analytic topology. We show several Ramsey type properties which imply $SS$. For analytic spaces $X$, $SS^+$ is equivalent to have that the…

We list a number of problems in several topics related to compactness in nonseparable Banach spaces. Namely, about the Hilbertian ball in its weak topology, spaces of continuous functions on Eberlein compacta, WCG Banach spaces, Valdivia…

This issue contains a number of abstracts of papers directly related to selection principles, some of which presented at the conference SPMC2012, and the announcement of the solution of Malyhin's Problem.

Without assuming the field structure on the additive group of real numbers $\mathbb{R}$ with the usual order $<,$ we explore the fact that every proper subgroup of $\mathbb{R}$ is either closed or dense. This property of subgroups of the…

The ``multiple of the inclusion plus compact problem'' which was posed by T.W. Gowers in 1996 and Th. Schlumprecht in 2003, asks whether for every infinite dimensional Banach space $X$ there exists a closed subspace $Y$ of $X$ and a bounded…

This article examines a family of smooth mappings between Banach spaces and establishes conditions for the existence of their zeros. Applications to fixed-point problems and the Implicit Function Theorem are also discussed.

We study transfinite cut-and-choose games on $T_0$ spaces, introducing the {\em point-separating number} $ps(X)$ and the {\em set membership number} ${sm}(X)$ as the ordinal-valued invariants measuring the minimal length of a game in which…

A famous result of Hausdorff states that a sphere with countably many points removed can be partitioned into three pieces A,B,C such that A is congruent to B (i.e., there is an isometry of the sphere which sends A to B), B is congruent to…

The most important uniform algebra is the family of continuous functions on a compact subset $K$ of the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$ which are analytic on the interior int$(K)$ For compact sets $K$ which are regular (i.e. $K =$int$(K)$ and…

Chapter 1 deals with the problem of the existence of an upper/lower envelope from a convex cone or, more generally, a convex set for functions on the projective limit of vector lattices with values in the completion of the Kantorovich space…

Let $X$ be a ball Banach function space on $\mathbb{R}^n$, $k\in\mathbb{N}$, $h\in\mathbb{R}^n$, and $\Delta^k_h$ denote the $k${\rm th} order difference. In this article, under some mild extra assumptions about $X$, the authors prove that,…

The Banach-Mazur problem, which asks if every infinite-dimensional Banach space has an infinite-dimensional separable quotient space, has remained unsolved for 85 years, but has been answered in the affirmative for special cases such as…

In this note we study the open-point topological games in order to analyze the least upper bound for density of dense subsets of a topological space. This way we may also analyze the behavior of such cardinal invariants in taking products…

We introduce a new topological generalization of the $\sigma$-projective hierarchy, not limited to Polish spaces. Earlier attempts have replaced $^{\omega}\omega$ by $^{\kappa}\kappa$, for $\kappa$ regular uncountable, or replaced countable…

We collect and organise known results and add some new ones of the following nature: if A is a bounded operator in a Hilbert or Banach space, does there exist a nonconstant polynomial p(z) such that p(A) is "simpler", "nicer" than A. The…

A topological space is iso-dense if it has a dense set of isolated points. A topological space is scattered if each of its non-empty subspaces has an isolated point. In $\mathbf{ZF}$, in the absence of the axiom of choice, basic properties…

By methods of harmonic analysis, we identify large classes of Banach spaces invariant of periodic Fourier multipliers with symbols satisfying the classical Marcinkiewicz type conditions. Such classes include general (vector-valued) Banach…

The paper elucidates the relationship between the density of a Banach space and possible sizes of well-separated subsets of its unit sphere. For example, it is proved that for a large enough space $X$, the unit sphere $S_X$ always contains…

We provide some new consequences on the Lipschitz numerical radius and index which were introduced recently. More precisely, we give some renorming results on the Lipschitz numerical index, introduce a concept of Lipschitz numerical radius…
