We study the unknown differences between the size of slices and relatively weakly open subsets of the unit ball in Banach spaces. We show that every Banach space containing isomorphic copies of $c_0$ can be equivalently renormed so that…

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…

We show that there exists a Banach space in which every non-empty weakly open subset of its unit ball has radius one, the maximum possible value, but the infimum of the diameter of its slices is exactly one, so extremely far from its…

We prove that in the Hilbert space every uniformly convex set with modulus of convexity of the second order at zero is an intersection of closed balls of fixed radius. We also obtain an estimate of this radius.

We characterise the class of those Banach spaces in which every convex combination of slices of the unit ball intersects the unit sphere as the class of those spaces in which every convex combination of slices of the unit ball contains two…

For every $\mathcal{U} \subset \mathrm{Diff}^\infty_{vol}(\mathbb{T}^2)$ there is a measure of finite support contained in $\mathcal{U}$ which is uniformly expanding.

We prove strong and explicit diameter bounds for finite simple Lie algebras, which parallel Babai's conjecture for finite simple groups. Specifically, we show that any nonabelian finite simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ over $\mathbf{F}_p$…

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 a bound for the geodesic diameter of a subset of the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ described by a fixed number of quadratic equations and inequalities, which is polynomial in $n$, whereas the known bound for general degree is…

It is shown that there exists a nontrivial uniform algebra that is Dirichlet on its maximal ideal space and has a dense set of elements that are exponentials. This answers a 65-year-old question of John Wermer and a 17-year-old question of…

We prove the plasticity of the unit ball of $c$. That is, we show that every non-expansive bijection from the unit ball of $c$ onto itself is an isometry. We also demonstrate a slightly weaker property for the unit ball of $c_0$ -- we prove…

We introduce a vector-valued version of a uniform algebra, called the vector-valued function space over a uniform algebra. The diameter two properties of the vector-valued function space over a uniform algebra on an infinite compact…

We characterise the slices of the category of graphs that are algebraically universal in terms of the structure of the slicing graph. In particular, we show that algebraic universality is obtained if, and only if, the slicing graph contains…

We prove a limit theorem for the the maximal interpoint distance (also called the diameter) for a sample of n i.i.d. points in the unit ball of dimension 2 or more. The exact form of the limit distribution and the required normalisation are…

We prove that the following three properties for a Banach space are all different from each other: every finite convex combination of slices of the unit ball is (1) relatively weakly open, (2) has nonempty interior in relative weak topology…

Motivated by modern applications like image processing and wireless sensor networks, we consider a variation of the famous Kepler Conjecture. Given any infinite set of unit balls covering the whole space, we want to know the optimal (lim…

Let ||.|| be a norm in R^d whose unit ball is B. Assume that V\subset B is a finite set of cardinality n, with \sum_{v \in V} v=0. We show that for every integer k with 0 \le k \le n, there exists a subset U of V consisting of k elements…

We construct a Banach space $X$ with the r-BSP such that the infimum of the diameter of the slices of the unit ball is $1$, which gives negative answer to a 2006 question by Y. Ivakhno in an extreme way. This example is performed by…

We study the duality of moduli of k- and (n-k)-dimensional slices of euclidean n-cubes, and establish the optimal upper bound 1.

We show that $c_0$, and in fact $C(K)$ for any scattered compact Hausdorff space $K$, have the property that finite convex combinations of slices of the unit ball are relatively weakly open.
