We obtain a refinement of a selection principle for $(\mathcal{K}, \lambda)$-wide-$(s)$ sequences in Banach spaces due to Rosenthal. This result is then used to show that if $C$ is a bounded, non-weakly compact, closed convex subset of a…

We introduce and study Banach spaces which have property CWO, i.e., every finite convex combination of relatively weakly open subsets of their unit ball is open in the relative weak topology of the unit ball. Stability results of such…

A Banach space E is said to have Property (w) if every (bounded linear) operator from E into E' is weakly compact. We give some interesting examples of James type Banach spaces with Property (w). We also consider the passing of Property (w)…

We study isomorphic properties of two generalizations of intersection bodies, the class of k-intersection bodies and the class of generalized k-intersection bodies. We also show that the Banach-Mazur distance of the k-intersection body of a…

We show that if a Banach space X has the weak fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings and Y has the generalized Gossez-Lami Dozo property or is uniformly convex in every direction, then the direct sum of X and Y with a strictly…

In this paper we investigate some reflexivity-type properties of separable measurable Banach bundles over a $\sigma$-finite measure space. Our two main results are the following: - The fibers of a bundle are uniformly convex (with a common…

In this paper the theory of uniformly convex metric spaces is developed. These spaces exhibit a generalized convexity of the metric from a fixed point. Using a (nearly) uniform convexity property a simple proof of reflexivity is presented…

We consider best approximation problems in a nonlinear subset $\mathcal{M}$ of a Banach space of functions $(\mathcal{V},\|\bullet\|)$. The norm is assumed to be a generalization of the $L^2$-norm for which only a weighted Monte Carlo…

The aim of the paper is to highlight some open problems concerning approximation properties of Hardy spaces. We also present some results on the bounded compact and the dual compact approximation properties (shortly, BCAP and DCAP) of such…

In this paper, two main results concerning uniformly continuous retractions are proved. First, an $\alpha$-H\"older retraction from any separable Banach space onto a compact convex subset whose closed linear span is the whole space is…

The classical Banach--Mazur theorem asserts that every separable Banach space admits an isometric embedding into $C[0,1]$. It is also well known that every separable Banach space embeds isometrically into $\ell^\infty$. We show that such an…

A Banach space has the ball huskable property ($BHP$) if the closed unit ball has weakly open sets of arbitrarily small diameter. We can analogously define $w^*$-$BHP$ in the dual space. In this short note, we study these properties in the…

A reflexive hereditarily indecomposable Banach space $\mathfrak{X}_{_{^\text{ISP}}}$ is presented, such that for every $Y$ infinite dimensional closed subspace of $\mathfrak{X}_{_{^\text{ISP}}}$ and every bounded linear operator…

For a bounded function $f$ from the unit sphere of a closed subspace $X$ of a Banach space $Y$, we study when the closed convex hull of its spatial numerical range $W(f)$ is equal to its intrinsic numerical range $V(f)$. We show that for…

We prove that given a locally compact Hausdorff space, $K$, and a compact C$^*$-algebra, $\mathcal{A}$, the C$^*$-algebra $C(K, \mathcal{A})$ satisfies that every convex combination of slices of the closed unit ball is relatively weakly…

We prove that the kernel of a quotient operator from an $\mathcal L_1$-space onto a Banach space $X$ with the Bounded Approximation Property (BAP) has the BAP. This completes earlier results of Lusky --case $\ell_1$-- and Figiel, Johnson…

We prove that every surjective isometry from the unit sphere of the space $K(H),$ of all compact operators on an arbitrary complex Hilbert space $H$, onto the unit sphere of an arbitrary real Banach space $Y$ can be extended to a surjective…

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.…

X. Huang et al. recently introduced the notion of generalised lush (GL) spaces, which, at least for separable spaces, is a generalisation of the concept of lushness introduced by K. Boyko et al. in 2007. The main result of Huang et al. is…

This article aims to examine the Hahn-Banach smoothness of Banach spaces and its connections to various geometrical aspects. We examine the circumstances that allow linear functionals to have unique norm-preserving extensions, with…
