We discuss an alternate method for computing the Szlenk index of an arbitrary $w^*$ compact subset of the dual of a Banach space. We discuss consequences of this method as well as offer simple, alternative proofs of a number of results…

Given a Banach space $X$, a $w^*$-compact subset of $X^*$, and $1<p<\infty$, we provide an optimal relationship between the Szlenk index of $K$ and the Szlenk index of an associated subset of $L_p(X)^*$. As an application, given a Banach…

We find an optimal upper bound on the values of the weak$^*$-dentability index $Dz(X)$ in terms of the Szlenk index $Sz(X)$ of a Banach space $X$ with separable dual. Namely, if $\;Sz(X)=\omega^{\alpha}$, for some $\alpha<\omega_1$, and…

We discuss pruning and coloring lemmas on regular families. We discuss several applications of these lemmas to computing the Szlenk index of certain $w^*$ compact subsets of the dual of a separable Banach space. Applications include…

We generalize the notion of summable Szlenk index from a Banach space to an arbitrary weak$^*$-compact set. We prove that a weak$^*$-compact set has summable Szlenk index if and only if its weak$^*$-closed, absolutely convex hull does. As a…

Given any Banach space $X$ and any weak*-compact subset $K$ of $X^*$, we compute the Szlenk index of the weak*-closed, convex hull of $K$ as a function of the Szlenk index of $K$. Also as an application, we compute the Szlenk index of any…

We study the general measures of non-compactness defined on subsets of a dual Banach space, their associated derivations and their $\omega$-iterates. We introduce the notions of convexifiable and sublinear measure of non-compactness and…

Let $\alpha$ be an infinite ordinal and $\gamma$ the unique ordinal satisfying $\omega^{\omega^\gamma}\leq \alpha < \omega^{\omega^{\gamma+1}}$. We show that the Banach space $C([0,\,\alpha])$ of all continuous scalar-valued functions on…

Let $X$ be a Banach space and $K$ an absolutely convex, weak$^\ast$-compact subset of $X^\ast$. We study consequences of $K$ having a large or undefined Szlenk index and subsequently derive a number of related results concerning basic…

Given any compact, Hausdorff space $K$ and $1<p<\infty$, we compute the Szlenk and $w^*$-dentability indices of the spaces $C(K)$ and $L_p(C(K))$. We show that if $K$ is compact, Hausdorff, scattered, $CB(K)$ is the Cantor-Bendixson index…

In a previous work, the first named author described the set $\cal P$ of all values of the Szlenk indices of separable Banach spaces. We complete this result by showing that for any integer $n$ and any ordinal $\alpha$ in $\cal P$, there…

Let $\mathcal A$ be a infinite dimensional C*-algebra and $1<p<\infty$. We compute the Szlenk index of $\mathcal A$ and $L_p(\mathcal A)$, and show that $Sz(\mathcal A)=\Gamma'(i(\mathcal A))$ and $Dz(\mathcal A)=Sz(L_p(\mathcal A))=\omega…

For every $\alpha<\omega_1$ we establish the existence of a separable Banach space whose Szlenk index is $\omega^{\alpha\omega+1}$ and which is universal for all separable Banach spaces whose Szlenk-index does not exceed…

In this work, we introduce the notion of Ball dentable property in Banach spaces. We study certain stability results for the $w^*$-Ball dentable property leading to a discussion on Ball dentability in the context of ideals of Banach spaces.…

For each ordinal $\alpha< \omega_1$, we prove the existence of a separable, reflexive Banach space with a basis and Szlenk index $\omega^{\alpha+1}$ which is universal for the class of separable, reflexive Banach spaces $X$ such that the…

For a countable ordinal a we denote by C_a the class of separable, reflexive Banach spaces whose Szlenk index and the Szlenk index of their dual are bounded by a. We show that each C_a admits a separable, reflexive universal space. We also…

We introduce two new local l_1-indices of the same type as the Bourgain l_1 index; the l_1^+-index and the l_1^+-weakly null index. We show that the l_1^+-weakly null index of a Banach space X is the same as the Szlenk index of X, provided…

We show that if the Szlenk index of a Banach space $X$ is larger than the first infinite ordinal $\omega$ or if the Szlenk index of its dual is larger than $\omega$, then the tree of all finite sequences of integers equipped with the…

We study the nonlinear embeddability of Banach spaces and the equi-embeddability of the family of Kalton's interlaced graphs $([\mathbb N]^k,d_{\mathbb K})_k$ into dual spaces. Notably, we define and study a modification of Kalton's…

For each ordinal $\alpha<\omega_1$, we prove the existence of a space with a basis and Szlenk index $\omega^{\alpha+1}$ which is universal for the class of spaces with Szlenk index not exceeding $\omega^\alpha$. Our proof involves…
