Mazur's separable quotient problem, open since 1932, asks whether every infinite-dimensional Banach space admits an infinite-dimensional separable quotient. We prove that any $\mathscr{L}_\infty$-space $Y$ containing a subspace $X$ such…
It is shown that if a Banach space X has the weak Banach-Saks property and the weak fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings and Y satisfies property asymptotic (P) (which is weaker than the condition WCS(Y)>1), then the direct sum of…
It is proved that every normalized weakly null \sq\ has a sub\sq\ which is convexly unconditional. Further, an Hierarchy of summability methods is introduced and with this we give a complete classification of the complexity of weakly null…
We generalize the notion of flat chains with arbitrary coefficient groups to Banach spaces and prove a sequential compactness result. We also remove the restriction that a flat chain have finite mass in order for its support to exist.
We will show that an unconditional basis in a Banach space is equivalent to the unit vector basis of $c_0$ or $\ell_p$ for $1\le p < \infty$ if and only if all finitely supported blocks of the basis generated by a unit vector and its dual…
We present a reflexive Banach space $\mathfrak{X}_{_{^\text{usm}}}$ which is Hereditarily Indecomposable and satisfies the following properties. In every subspace $Y$ of $\mathfrak{X}_{_{^\text{usm}}}$ there exists a weakly null normalized…
Letting $E$, $F$ be Banach spaces, the main two results of this paper are the following: (1) If every (linear bounded) operator $E\rightarrow F$ is unconditionally converging, then every polynomial from $E$ to $F$ is unconditionally…
We consider a normalized basis in a Banach space with the following property: any normalized block sequence of the basis has a subsequence equivalent to the basis. We show that under uniformity or other natural assumptions, a basis with…
We study conditions on a Banach frame that ensures the validity of a reconstruction formula. In particular, we show that any Banach frames for (a subspace of) $L_p$ or $L_{p,q}$ ($1\le p < \infty$) with respect to a solid sequence space…
J. Elton proved that every normalized weakly null sequence in a Banach space admits a subsequence that is nearly unconditional which is a weak form of unconditionality. The notion of near-unconditionality is quantified by a constant…
One shows for Banach bundles in a certain class that having a second countable locally compact Hausdorff base space and separable fibers implies the separability of the Banach space of the all sections that vanish at infinity. In the…
This paper is devoted to providing a unifying approach to the study of the uniqueness of unconditional bases, up to equivalence and permutation, of infinite direct sums of quasi-Banach spaces. Our new approach to this type of problem…
Given a Schauder basic sequence $(x_k)$ in a Banach lattice, we say that $(x_k)$ is bibasic if the expansion of every vector in $[x_k]$ converges not only in norm, but also in order. We prove that, in this definition, order convergence may…
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…
We continue the study initiated in [F. Albiac and P. Wojtaszczyk, Characterization of $1$-greedy bases, J. Approx. Theory 138 (2006), no. 1, 65-86] of properties related to greedy bases in the case when the constants involved are sharp,…
We show that a separable real Banach space embeds almost isometrically in a space $Y$ with a shrinking 1-unconditional basis if and only if $\lim_{n \to \infty} \|x^* + x_n^*\| = \lim_{n \to \infty} \|x^* - x_n^*\|$ whenever $x^* \in X^*$,…
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…
Using the method of forcing we prove that consistently there is a Banach space of continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space with the Grothendieck property and with density less than the continuum. It follows that the classical…
We study the complementation (in $\ell_\infty$) of the Banach space $c_{0,\mathcal{I}}$, consisting of all bounded sequences $(x_n)$ that $\mathcal{I}$-converge to $0$, endowed with the supremum norm, where $\mathcal{I}$ is an ideal of…
This paper brings new results on the FPP in Banach spaces $X$ with a Schauder basis. We first deal with the problem of whether there is a Banach space isomorphic to $\co$ having the FPP. We show that the answer is negative if $X$ contains a…
