A Banach space $X$ with a Schauder basis is defined to have the restricted quotient hereditarily indecomposable (QHI) property if $X/Y$ is hereditarily indecomposable (HI) for any infinite codimensional subspace $Y$ with a successive…

We conjecture that whenever $M$ is a metric space of density at most continuum, then the space of Lipschitz functions is $w^*$-separable. We prove the conjecture for several classes of metric spaces including all the Banach spaces with a…

For a certain class of algebras $\cal A$ we give a method for constructing Banach spaces $X$ such that every operator on $X$ is close to an operator in $\cal A$. This is used to produce spaces with a small amount of structure. We present…

Let $X$ be a separable nonquasireflexive Banach space. Let $Y$ be a Banach space isomorphic to a subspace of $X^*$. The paper is devoted to the following questions: 1. Under what conditions does there exist an isomorphic embedding $T:Y\to…

Following Will Brian, we define a metric space $X$ to be $Banakh$ if all nonempty spheres of positive radius $r$ in $X$ have cardinality $2$ and diameter $2r$. Standard examples of Banakh spaces are subgroups of the real line. In this paper…

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…

In this note we show that every Banach space $X$ not containing $\ell_1^n$ uniformly and with unconditional basis contains an arbitrarily distortable subspace.

A dual Banach algebra is a Banach algebra which is a dual space, with the multiplication being separately weak$^*$-continuous. We show that given a unital dual Banach algebra $\mc A$, we can find a reflexive Banach space $E$, and an…

Let B be a unital Banach algebra. A projection in B which is equivalent to the identitity may give rise to a matrix-like structure on any two-sided ideal A in B. In this set-up we prove a theorem to the effect that the bounded Hochschild…

Suppose that $X$ is a Banach space. We will show that $X$ does not contain a copy of $c_0$ if and only if for each series which is not unconditionally convergent in $X$ respective sets coding all bounded subseries and rearrangements are…

If Z is a quotient of a subspace of a separable Banach space X, and V is any separable Banach space, then there is a Banach couple (A_0,A_1) such that A_0 and A_1 are isometric to $X\oplus V$, and any intermediate space obtained using the…

Let $X$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space, and $A$ be a commutative semisimple Banach algebra over the scalar field $\mathbb{C}$. The correlation between different types of BSE- Banach algebras $A$, and the Banach algebra $C_{0}(X, A)$…

Let $E$ be one of the spaces $C(K)$ and $L_1$, $F$ be an arbitrary Banach space, $p>1,$ and $(X,\sigma)$ be a space with a finite measure. We prove that $E$ is isometric to a subspace of the Lebesgue-Bochner space $L_p(X;F)$ only if $E$ is…

We show that the dual of every infinite-dimensional Lipschitz-free Banach space contains an isometric copy of $\ell_\infty$ and that it is often the case that a Lipschitz-free Banach space contains a $1$-complemented subspace isometric to…

It is shown that variants of the HI methods could yield objects closely connected to the classical Banach spaces. Thus we present a new $c_0$ saturated space, denoted as $\mathfrak{X}_0$, with rather tight structure. The space…

In this note we study the structure of Lipschitz-free Banach spaces. We show that every Lipschitz-free Banach space over an infinite metric space contains a complemented copy of $\ell_1$. This result has many consequences for the structure…

A well-known result of R. Pol states that a Banach space $X$ has property ($\mathcal{C}$) of Corson if and only if every point in the weak*-closure of any convex set $C \subseteq B_{X^*}$ is actually in the weak*-closure of a countable…

If a Banach space has an unconditional basis it either contains a continuum of non isomorphic subspaces or is isomorphic to its square and hyperplanes and satisfies other regularity properties. An HI Banach space contains a continuum of non…

Employing a construction of Tsirelson-like spaces due to Argyros and Deliyanni, we show that the class of all Banach spaces which are isomorphic to a subspace of $c_{0}$ is a complete analytic set with respect to the Effros Borel structure…

A Banach space is {\it polynomially Schur} if sequential convergence against analytic polynomials implies norm convergence. Carne, Cole and Gamelin show that a space has this property and the Dunford-Pettis property if and only if it is…
