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…

It is shown that for every $p\in (1,\infty)$ there exists a Banach space $X$ of finite cotype such that the projective tensor product $\ell_p\tp X$ fails to have finite cotype. More generally, if $p_1,p_2,p_3\in (1,\infty)$ satisfy…

We introduce two Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as moduli which measure, for a given Banach space, what is the best possible Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as theorem in this space. We show that there is a common upper bound for these moduli for all Banach…

We introduce the class of slicely countably determined Banach spaces which contains in particular all spaces with the RNP and all spaces without copies of $\ell_1$. We present many examples and several properties of this class. We give some…

We show that for each $p\in(0,1]$ there exists a separable $p$-Banach space $\mathbb G_p$ of almost universal disposition, that is, having the following extension property: for each $\epsilon>0$ and each isometric embedding $g:X\to Y$,…

To each 2-dimensional irreducible p-adic representation of Gal(Qpbar/Qp) which becomes crystalline over an abelian extension of Q_p, we associate a Banach space B(V) endowed with a linear continuous unitary action of GL_2(Q_p). When V is…

For a conditional quasi-greedy basis $\mathcal{B}$ in a Banach space the associated conditionality constants $k_{m}[\mathcal{B}]$ verify the estimate $k_{m}[\mathcal{B}]=\mathcal{O}(\log m)$. Answering a question raised by Temlyakov, Yang,…

In this paper we establish some new results concerning the Cauchy-Peano problem in Banach spaces. Firstly, we prove that if a Banach space $E$ admits a fundamental biorthogonal system, then there exists a continuous vector field $f\colon…

A separable Banach space $X$ is said to be finitely determined if for each separable space $Y$ such that $X$ is finitely representable (f.r.) in $Y$ and $Y$ is f.r. in $X$ then $Y$ is isometric to $X$. We provide a direct proof (without…

Under the assumption that the continuum c is a regular cardinal, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a Boolean algebra B of size c defined by sharing the main structural properties that P(N)/fin has under CH and in the aleph2-Cohen…

It is a longstanding problem whether every contractible Banach algebra is necessarily finite-dimensional. In this note, we confirm this for Banach algebras acting on Banach spaces with the uniform approximation property. This generalizes a…

We study large linear structures inside sets arising in the theory of norm-attaining operators. We provide several results in the context of lineability, spaceability, maximal-spaceability, and $(\alpha, \beta)$-spaceability for sets of…

The objective of this paper is to construct separable Banach spaces $S{D^p}[\mathbb{R}^\infty]$ for $1\leq p \leq \infty$, each of which contains the $L^p[\mathbb{R}^\infty] $ spaces, as well as finitely additive measures, as compact dense…

We show that for every separable Banach space $X$, either $\spw(X)$ (the set of all spreading models of $X$ generated by weakly-null sequences in $X$, modulo equivalence) is countable, or $\spw(X)$ contains an antichain of the size of the…

We improve the known results about the complexity of the relation of isomorphism between separable Banach spaces up to Borel reducibility, and we achieve this using the classical spaces $c_0$, $\ell_p$ and $L_p$, $1 \leq p <2$. More…

We prove that for any $\ell_\infty$-sum $Z = \bigoplus_{i \in [n]} X_i$ of finitely many strictly convex Banach spaces $(X_i)_{i \in [n]}$, an extremeness preserving 1-Lipschitz bijection $f\colon B_Z \to B_Z$ is an isometry, by…

The standard theory of Banach spaces is built upon the notions of vector space, triangle inequality and Cauchy completeness. Here we propose a `hyperbolic' variant of this `elliptic' framework where general linear combinations are replaced…

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…

Among other things, it is shown that there exist Banach spaces $Z$ and $W$ such that $Z^{**}$ and $W$ have bases, and for every $p\in[1,2)$ there is an operator $T:W\to Z$ that is not $p$-nuclear but $T^{**}$ is $p$-nuclear.

A classical result of Cembranos and Freniche states that the C(K, X) spaces contains a complemented copy of c_0 whenever K is an infinite compact Hausdorff space and X is an infinite dimensional Banach space. This paper takes this result as…
