Let $E$ be a Banach space, and $\mathcal B(E)$ the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $E$. The question of amenability of $\mathcal B(E)$ goes back to Johnson's seminal memoir \cite{johnson} from 1972. We present the first general…

We review the current state of the homogeneous Banach space problem. We then formulate several questions which arise naturally from this problem, some of which seem to be fundamental but new. We give many examples defining the bounds on the…

We study $p$-limited and almost $p$-limited sets in Banach lattices and their connections with relatively $p$-compact and relatively compact sets. We investigate the weak and the strong Gelfand-Phillips property of order $p$, as well as the…

A continuous operator $T$ between two Banach lattices $E$ and $F$ is called almost order-weakly compact, whenever for each almost order bounded subset $A$ of $E$, $T(A)$ is a relatively weakly compact subset of $F$. In Theorem 4, we show…

A wide new class of subsets of a Banach space $X$ named coarse $p$-limited sets ($ 1\leq p < \infty$) is introduced by considering weak* $p$-summable sequences in $X'$ instead of weak* null sequences. We study its basic properties and…

Following Davie's example of a Banach space failing the approximation property [D], we show how to construct a Banach space E which is asymptotically Hilbertian and fails the approximation property. Moreover, the space E is shown to be a…

We show that for every weakly compact subset $K$ of $C[0,1]$ with finite Cantor-Bendixson rank, there is a reflexive Banach lattice $E$ and an operator $T:E\rightarrow C[0,1]$ such that $K\subseteq T(B_E)$. On the other hand, we exhibit an…

A. Szankowski's example is used to construct a Banach space similar to that of "An example of an asymptotically Hilbertian space which fails the approximation property", P.G. Casazza, C.L. Garc\'{\i}a, W.B. Johnson [math.FA/0006134…

We propose a unifying approach to many approximation properties studied in the literature from the 1930s up to our days. To do so, we say that a Banach space E has the (I,J,{\tau})-approximation property if E-valued operators belonging to…

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra. For $f\in A^{\ast}$, we inspect the weak sequential properties of the well-known map $T_f:A\to A^{\ast}$, $T_f(a) = fa$, where $fa\in A^{\ast}$ is defined by $fa(x) = f(ax)$ for all $x\in A$. We provide…

We construct a hereditarily indecomposable Banach space with dual isomorphic to $\ell_1$. Every bounded linear operator on this space has the form $\lambda I+K$ with $\lambda$ a scalar and $K$ compact.

The paper is largely concerned with the possibility of obtaining a series representation for a compact linear map $T$ acting between Banach spaces. It is known that, using the notions of $j-$eigenfunctions and $j-$% eigenvalues, such a…

A Banach space has the Schur property when every weakly convergent sequence converges in norm. We prove a Schur-like property for measures: if a sequence of finite signed Borel measures on a Polish space is such that it is bounded in total…

We introduce new class of limitedly L-weakly compact operators from a Banach space to a Banach lattice. This class is a proper subclass of the Bourgain-Diestel operators and it contains properly the class of L-weakly compact operators. We…

Let $X$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space, and $A$ be a commutative semisimple Banach algebra over the scalar field $\mathbb{C}$. The correlation between different types of BSE- Banach algebras $A$, and the Banach algebra $C_{0}(X, A)$…

We discuss a set-valued generalization of strong proximinality in Banach spaces, introduced by J. Mach [Continuity properties of Chebyshev centers, J. Approx. Theory, 29(3):223--230, 1980] as property-$(P_1)$. We establish that if the…

We show that every Banach space containing isomorphic copies of $c_0$ can be equivalently renormed so that every nonempty relatively weakly open subset of its unit ball has diameter 2 and, however, its unit ball still contains convex…

A Banach space (or its norm) is said to have the diameter $2$ property (D$2$P in short) if every nonempty relatively weakly open subset of its closed unit ball has diameter $2$. We construct an equivalent norm on $L_1[0,1]$ which is weakly…

We show the existence of a compact metric space $K$ such that whenever $K$ embeds isometrically into a Banach space $Y$, then any separable Banach space is linearly isometric to a subspace of $Y$. We also address the following related…

In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for which a finitely generated group has a property like Kazhdan's Property $(T)$ restricted to one isometric representation on a strictly convex Banach space without non-zero…
