The main result: the dual of separable Banach space $X$ contains a total subspace which is not norming over any infinite dimensional subspace of $X$ if and only if $X$ has a nonquasireflexive quotient space with the strictly singular…
We show that finite dimensional Banach spaces fail to be uniformly non locally almost square. Moreover, we construct an equivalent almost square bidual norm on $\ell_\infty.$ As a consequence we get that every dual Banach space containing…
We show how to construct nonlocally convex quasi-Banach spaces $X$ whose dual separates the points of a dense subspace of $X$ but does not separate the points of $X$. Our examples connect with a question raised by Pietsch [About the Banach…
Our main result states that, given a finite-dimensional vector space $E$, the pseudometric defined in the set of continuous quasinorms $\mathcal{Q}_0=\{\|\cdot\|:E\to\mathbb{R}\}$ as $$d(\|\cdot\|_X,\|\cdot\|_Y)=\min\{\mu:\|\cdot\|_X…
We remark that if $X$ is an infinite dimensional Banach space then every seminormalized weakly null sequence in $X$ has an asymptotic monotone basic subsequence. We also observe that if $X$ contains an isomorphic copy of $\ell_1$, then for…
We extend the method of minimal vectors to arbitrary Banach spaces. It is proved, by a variant of the method, that certain quasinilpotent operators on arbitrary Banach spaces have hyperinvariant subspaces.
We construct a nonseparable Banach space $\mathcal X$ (actually, of density continuum) such that any uncountable subset $\mathcal Y$ of the unit sphere of $\mathcal X$ contains uncountably many points distant by less than $1$ (in fact, by…
We present quasi-Banach spaces which are closely related to the duals of combinatorial Banach spaces. More precisely, for a compact family $\mathcal{F}$ of finite subsets of $\omega$ we define a quasi-norm $\lVert \cdot \rVert^\mathcal{F}$…
We show that there exist infinite-dimensional extremely non-complex Banach spaces, i.e. spaces $X$ such that the norm equality $\|Id + T^2\|=1 + \|T^2\|$ holds for every bounded linear operator $T:X\longrightarrow X$. This answers in the…
If a separable Banach space $X$ is such that for some nonquasireflexive Banach space $Y$ there exists a surjective strictly singular operator $T:X\to Y$ then for every countable ordinal $\alpha $ the dual of $X$ contains a subspace whose…
We prove that, any problem of minimization of proper lower semicontinuous function defined on a normal Hausdorff space, is canonically equivalent to a problem of minimization of a proper weak * lower semicontinuous convex function defined…
A Banach space with a Schauder basis is said to be $\alpha$-minimal for some countable ordinal $\alpha$ if, for any two block subspaces, the Bourgain embeddability index of one into the other is at least $\alpha$. We prove a dichotomy that…
A topological space is said to be sequential if every sequentially closed subspace is closed. We consider Banach spaces with weak*-sequential dual ball. In particular, we show that if $X$ is a Banach space with weak*-sequentially compact…
We prove three new dichotomies for Banach spaces \`a la W.T. Gowers' dichotomies. The three dichotomies characterise respectively the spaces having no minimal subspaces, having no subsequentially minimal basic sequences, and having no…
In this paper we explore some basic properties of quasi-Banach function spaces which are important in applications. Namely, we show that they posses a generalised version of Riesz--Fischer property, that embeddings between them are always…
One shows for Banach bundles in a certain class that having a second countable locally compact Hausdorff base space and separable fibers implies the separability of the Banach space of the all sections that vanish at infinity. In the…
In the first part of the paper we study the structure of Banach spaces with a conditional spreading basis. The geometry of such spaces exhibit a striking resemblance to the geometry of James' space. Further, we show that the averaging…
If a Banach space is saturated with basic sequences whose linear span embeds into the linear span of any subsequence, then it contains a minimal subspace. It follows that any Banach space is either ergodic or contains a minimal subspace.…
We study long chains of iterated weak* derived sets, that is sets of all weak* limits of bounded nets, of subspaces with the additional property that the penultimate weak* derived set is a proper norm dense subspace of the dual. We extend…
We consider several quantities related to weak sequential completeness of a Banach space and prove some of their properties in general and in $L$-embedded Banach spaces, improving in particular an inequality of G. Godefroy, N. Kalton and D.…
