We present a sufficient condition for a Banach space to have the approximate hyperplane series property (AHSP) which actually covers all known examples. We use this property to get a stability result to vector-valued spaces of integrable…

We introduce a new class of Banach spaces, called generalized-lush spaces (GL-spaces for short), which contains almost-CL-spaces, separable lush spaces (specially, separable $C$-rich subspaces of $C(K)$), and even the two-dimensional space…

We study the problem of totally smooth renormings of Banach spaces and provide such renormings for spaces which are weakly compactly generated. We also consider renormings for $(a,B,c)$-ideals.

A topological space $X$ is called $\Cal A$-real compact, if every algebra homomorphism from $\Cal A$ to the reals is an evaluation at some point of $X$, where $\Cal A$ is an algebra of continuous functions. Our main interest lies on…

In a previous work, we showed that Besov spaces do not enjoy the restriction property unless $q\leq p$. Specifically, we proved that if $p<q$, then it is always possible to construct a function $f\in B_{p,q}^s(\mathbb{R}^N)$ such that…

We show that the classes of separable reflexive Banach spaces and of spaces with separable dual are strongly bounded. This gives a new proof of a recent result of E. Odell and Th. Schlumprecht, asserting that there exists a separable…

We consider $\ell_p$-direct sums ($1\leq p<\infty$) and $c_0$-direct sums of countably many normed spaces and find the duals of these spaces. We characterize the support functionals of arbitrary elements in these spaces to characterize…

If a separable Banach space contains an isometric copy of every separable reflexive Fr\'echet smooth Banach space, then it contains an isometric copy of every separable Banach space. The same conclusion holds if we consider separable Banach…

Real smooth three-dimensional or higher Banach spaces are isomorphic with respect to the nonlinear structure of Birkhoff-James orthogonality if and only if they are isometrically isomorphic. Moreover, using smooth Radon planes and…

We prove that in every separable Banach space $X$ with a Schauder basis and a $C^k$-smooth norm it is possible to approximate, uniformly on bounded sets, every equivalent norm with a $C^k$-smooth one in a way that the approximation is…

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…

We identify the smooth points of $L^1(\mu,X)$, and provide some necessary and sufficient conditions for left and right symmetry of points with respect to Birkhoff-James orthogonality in $L^p(\mu,X), 1\leq p<\infty$, where $\mu$ is any…

We introduce stronger versions of the usual notions of martingale type p <= 2 and cotype q >= 2 of a Banach space X and show that these concepts are equivalent to uniform p-smoothness and q-convexity, respectively. All these are metric…

We introduce the notion of approximate norm attainment set of a bounded linear operator between Banach spaces and use it to obtain a complete characterization of smooth points in the space of compact linear operators, provided the domain…

The class of uniformly smooth hyperbolic spaces was recently introduced by the first author as a common generalization of both CAT(0) spaces and uniformly smooth Banach spaces, in a way that Reich's theorem on resolvent convergence could…

In this article, we study a version of the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property. We investigate a pair of Banach spaces $(X, Y)$ such that every operator from $X$ into $Y$ is approximated by operators which attains its norm at the same point…

A Banach space is said to have the ball-covering property (abbreviated BCP) if its unit sphere can be covered by countably many closed, or equivalently, open balls off the origin. Let $K$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space and $X$ be a…

We consider a certain type of geometric properties of Banach spaces, which includes for instance octahedrality, almost squareness, lushness and the Daugavet property. For this type of properties, we obtain a general reduction theorem,…

Let $1\le p<\infty$. A symmetric space $X$ on $[0,1]$ is said to be $p$-disjointly homogeneous (resp. restricted $p$-disjointly homogeneous) if every sequence of normalized pairwise disjoint functions from $X$ (resp. characteristic…

A Banach space is said to have the ball-covering property (BCP) if its unit sphere can be covered by countably many closed or open balls off the origin. Let $X$ be a Banach space with a shrinking $1$-unconditional basis. In this paper, by…
