We show some results related to the classical Banach-Tarski paradox in the setting of finite-dimensional normed spaces over a non-Archimedean valued field $K$. For instance, all balls and spheres in $K^n$, and the whole space $K^n$ (for…

If $X$ is an infinite-dimensional uniform algebra, if $X$ has the Daugavet property or if $X$ is a proper $M$-embedded space, every relatively weakly open subset of the unit ball of the Banach space $X$ is known to have diameter 2, i.e.,…

Let $\Delta=\Delta_1\times\ldots\times \Delta_d\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$, where $\mathbb{R}^n=\mathbb{R}^{n_1}\times\cdots\times\mathbb{R}^{n_d}$ with each $\Delta_i\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n_i}$ a non-degenerate simplex of $n_i$ points. We prove…

We discuss construction of coverings of the unit ball of a finite dimensional Banach space. The well known technique of comparing volumes gives upper and lower bounds on covering numbers. This technique does not provide a construction of…

For every Banach space $(Y,\|\cdot\|_Y)$ that admits an equivalent uniformly convex norm we prove that there exists $c=c(Y)\in (0,\infty)$ with the following property. Suppose that $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and that $X$ is an $n$-dimensional normed…

This article gives a new proof of the fundamental lemma of the "weakly admissible implies admissible" theorem of Colmez-Fontaine that describes the semi-stable p-adic representations. To this end, we introduce the category of spectral…

The goal of this paper is to present a lower bound for the Mahler volume of at least 4-dimensional symmetric convex bodies. We define a computable dimension dependent constant through a 2-dimensional variational (max-min) procedure and…

We prove a pointwise version of the multi-dimensional central limit theorem for convex bodies. Namely, let X be an isotropic random vector in R^n with a log-concave density. For a typical subspace E in R^n of dimension n^c, consider the…

In this paper, we obtain the best possible value of the absolute constant $C$ such that for every isotropic convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ the following inequality (which was proved by Klartag and reduces the hyperplane conjecture…

It is proved that the simplex is a strict local minimum for the volume product, P(K)=min(vol(K) vol(K^z)), K^z is the polar body of K with respect to z, the minimum is taken over z in the interior of K, in the Banach-Mazur space of…

We investigate the problem of finding the minimum number of pieces necessary for dividing a three-dimensional sphere or a ball and reassembling it to form $n$ congruent copies of the original object, generalising a known result by Raphael…

Denote by ${\mathcal K}^d$ the family of convex bodies in $E^d$ and by $w(C)$ the minimal width of $C \in {\mathcal K}^d$. We ask for the greatest number $\Lambda_n ({\mathcal K}^d)$ such that every $C \in {\mathcal K}^d$ contains a…

We study the lower bound for Koldobsky's slicing inequality. We show that there exists a measure $\mu$ and a symmetric convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, such that for all $\xi\in S^{n-1}$ and all $t\in \mathbb{R},$…

We show that, given a Banach space and a generator of an exponentially stable $C_{0}$-semigroup, a weakly admissible operator $g(A)$ can be defined for any $g$ bounded, analytic function on the left half-plane. This yields an (unbounded)…

Let $X$ be a Dedekind complete Banach lattice, and let $P\colon X\to X$ be a positive projection for which the largest central operator below $P$ is $\alpha \operatorname{id}_X$, for some $\alpha \ge 0$. Wickstead conjectured that $\alpha $…

In this paper we show the weak Banach-Saks property of the Banach vector space $(L_\mu^p)^m$ generated by $m$ $L_\mu^p$-spaces for $1\leq p<+\infty,$ where $m$ is any given natural number. When $m=1,$ this is the famous Banach-Saks-Szlenk…

We construct an infinite dimensional Banach space of continuous functions C(K) such that every one-to-one operator on C(K) is onto.

In this article, we consider the problems of finding in $d+1$ dimensions a minimum-volume axis-parallel box, a minimum-volume arbitrarily-oriented box and a minimum-volume convex body into which a given set of $d$-dimensional unit-radius…

We deal with isomorphic Banach-Stone type theorems for closed subspaces of vector-valued continuous functions. Let $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. For $i=1,2$, let $E_i$ be a reflexive Banach space over $\mathbb{F}$ with a certain…

The linear projection constant $\Pi(E)$ of a finite-dimensional real Banach space $E$ is the smallest number $C\in [0,+\infty)$ such that $E$ is a $C$-absolute retract in the category of real Banach spaces with bounded linear maps. We…
