We construct and analyze the free Banach $f\!$-algebra $\operatorname{FB{\it f}A}[E]$ generated by a Banach space $E$, extending recent developments on free Banach lattices to the setting of Banach $f\!$-algebras, where multiplication…

For a Tychonoff space $X$ by $C_p(X)$ we denote the space $C(X)$ of continuous real valued functions on $X$ endowed with the pointwise topology. We prove that an infinite compact space $X$ is scattered if and only if every closed…

We study the minimality of $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices $A$ respect to a $C^*$-subalgebra $\mathcal{B}$ of $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ in the spectral norm, that is \[\|A\|\leq \|A+B\|,\ \text{ for every } B\in \mathcal{B}.\] We generalize the…

We study mapping properties of the $k$-plane transform in Sobolev, Besov, and Triebel--Lizorkin spaces. For $1\le k\le d-1$, the $k$-plane transform integrates a function over $k$-dimensional affine planes in $\mathbb{R}^d$, yielding a…

Centered weighted composition operators on $L^2$-spaces are characterized. The characterization is obtained without the assumption that the operator is a product of a multiplication and a composition operator. The concept of spectrally…

We introduce a new class of asymptotic contractions that employs two quasi-metrics defined directly in terms of the underlying mapping. The contraction condition compares these two quantities via a sequence of bounding functions that…

We study the relations between different notions of almost locally uniformly rotund points that appear in literature. We show that every non-reflexive Banach space admits an equivalent norm having a point in the corresponding unit sphere…

It is well-known that a commuting family of contractions possesses a regular unitary dilation if and only if it satisfies Brehmer's positivity condition. We extend this theorem to any family $\mathcal T$ of $q$-commuting contractions with…

A commuting triple of Hilbert space operators $(A,S,P)$ is said to be a \textit{$\mathbb{P}$-contraction} if the closed pentablock $\overline{\mathbb P}$ is a spectral set for $(A,S,P)$, where \[ \mathbb{P}:=\left\{(a_{21}, \mbox{tr}(A_0),…

This work is dedicated to the development of the theory of Fourier hyperfunctions in one variable with values in a complex non-necessarily metrisable locally convex Hausdorff space $E$. Moreover, necessary and sufficient conditions are…

These notes are a detailed, self-contained introductory course on convexity and concavity in Banach lattices, suitable for both experts and beginners. We revisit, from a modern perspective, the classical notions of $(p,q)$-convexity,…

A famous result of Klee from 1981 is that the Banach space $\ell_1(\kappa)$ admits a disjoint tiling by balls of radius $1$, for all cardinals $\kappa$ with $\kappa^\omega =\kappa$. Klee also observed that the smallest cardinal in which…

We survey recent results on graphs and their Laplacians related to the behavior of the graph at large. In particular, we focus on Liouville theorems, recurrence and characterizations of Dirichlet forms via boundary terms.

Let $X$ be a Banach space. For $x \in X$ with $\|x\| = 1$, we denote the state space by $S_x = \{x^* \in X^* : \|x^*\| = x^*(x) = 1\}.$ In this paper, we study weak$^*$-weak and weak$^*$-$\|\cdot\|$ points of continuity of the identity map…

We prove Rump's 100-euro conjecture by deriving a weighted affine escape theorem from Ball's plank theorem in [Invent. Math. \textbf{104} (1991)]. More precisely, let $\mathbb{K}\in\{\mathbb{R},\mathbb{C}\}$ and let $A\in\mathbb{K}^{n\times…

50 years after Thompson's famous triangle inequality for the operator right modulus, we establish a triangle inequality for the quadratic symmetric modulus. We also discuss the corresponding equality cases as well as the…

We show that the set of points where the blow-up, in the sense of Preiss, of a signed Radon measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is unique and its invariant subspace has dimension $k$ is $k$-rectifiable. As simple applications, we obtain a…

Let $\mathcal H$ be a complex Hilbert space and $\mathcal F_s (\mathcal H)$ the real vector space of all self-adjoint finite rank bounded operators on $\mathcal H$. We generalize the famous Wigner's theorem by characterizing linear maps on…

We confirm, in dimension two, Blocki's conjectures on sharp lower bounds for Bergman kernels of tube domains. To that end, we verify a broader class of $L^p$-Mahler conjectures due to Berndtsson and the authors, where $p=1$ are Blocki's…

In this paper, we study non-reflexive Banach spaces $X$ for which the quotient space $X^{**}/X$ is reflexive. Such spaces were first introduced by James R.~Clark, where they were called coreflexive spaces. We show that a space $X$ is…
