We introduce two notions called $k-$weakly uniform rotundity ($k-$WUR) and $k-$weakly locally uniform rotundity ($k-$WLUR) in real Banach spaces. These are natural generalizations of the well-known concepts $k-$UR and WUR. By introducing…

We prove that a Banach space of continuous functions $C(K)$ has a renorming that is uniformly rotund in every direction (URED) if and only if the compact space $K$ supports a strictly positive measure

A Banach space (or its norm) is said to have the diameter $2$ property (D$2$P in short) if every nonempty relatively weakly open subset of its closed unit ball has diameter $2$. We construct an equivalent norm on $L_1[0,1]$ which is weakly…

We show that every infinite-dimensional Banach space with separable dual admits an equivalent norm which is weakly locally uniformly rotund but not locally uniformly rotund.

We show that a Banach space with numerical index one cannot enjoy good convexity or smoothness properties unless it is one-dimensional. For instance, it has no WLUR points in its unit ball, its norm is not Frechet smooth and its dual norm…

We show that if $X$ is a Banach space whose dual $X^{*}$ has an equivalent locally uniformly rotund (LUR) norm, then for every open convex $U\subseteq X$, for every $\varepsilon >0$, and for every continuous and convex function $f:U…

We provide, in every infinite-dimensional separable Banach space, an average locally uniformly rotund (and hence rotund) Gateaux smooth renorming which is not locally uniformly rotund. This solves an open problem posed by A.J. Guirao, V.…

We study geometric properties of the Banach space $\mathcal{R}$ constructed recently by C.~Read (arXiv 1307.7958) which does not contain proximinal subspaces of finite codimension greater than or equal to two. Concretely, we show that the…

In this paper we investigate the property (HLUR), a generalisation of (LUR) property of a Banach space. A Banach space having the property (HLUR) is called an HLUR space. We characterise (HLUR) property with the help of known geometric…

We prove that every separable infinite-dimensional Banach space admits a G\^ateaux smooth and rotund norm which is not midpoint locally uniformly rotund. Moreover, by using a similar technique, we provide in every infinite-dimensional…

We review various characterizations of uniform convexity and smoothness on norm balls in finite-dimensional spaces and connect results stemming from the geometry of Banach spaces with \textit{scaling inequalities} used in analysing the…

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…

We study existence and partial regularity relative to the weighted Steiner problem in Banach spaces. We show $C^1$ regularity almost everywhere for almost minimizing sets in uniformly rotund Banach spaces whose modulus of uniform convexity…

In this note various geometric properties of a Banach space $X$ are characterized by means of weaker corresponding geometric properties involving an ultrapower $X^\mathcal{U}$. The characterizations do not depend on the particular choice of…

We study some generalized metric properties of weak topologies when restricted to the unit sphere of some equivalent norm on a Banach space, and their relationships with other geometrical properties of norms. In case of dual Banach space…

Motivated by the question of Mikael de la Salle, we investigate the problem of the existence of equivalent strictly convex norms on Banach spaces that are invariant with respect to an action of a group by linear isometries. We develop…

It is shown that a Banach space with locally uniformly convex dual admits an equivalent norm which is itself locally uniformly convex. It follows that on any such space all continuous real-valued functions may be uniformly approximated by…

Non-convex functions that yet satisfy a condition of uniform convexity for non-close points can arise in discrete constructions. We prove that this sort of discrete uniform convexity is inherited by the convex envelope, which is the key to…

This paper deals with the interplay of the geometry of the norm and the weak topology in Banach spaces. Both dual and intrinsic connections between weak forms of rotundity and smoothness ared discussed. Weakly exposed points, weakly locally…

We develop tools to produce equivalent norms with specific local geometry around infinitely many points in the sphere of a Banach space via an inductive procedure. We combine this process with smoothness results and techniques to solve two…
