We investigate Problem 155 form the "Scottish Book" due to S. Mazur and L. Sternbach. In modern terminology they asked if every bijective, locally isometric map between two real Banach spaces is always a global isometry. Recently, an…
We show the existence of a compact metric space $K$ such that whenever $K$ embeds isometrically into a Banach space $Y$, then any separable Banach space is linearly isometric to a subspace of $Y$. We also address the following related…
Given a category of objects, it is both useful and important to know if all the objects in the category may be realised as sub-objects -- via morphisms in the given category -- of a single object in that category enjoying some nice…
The Banach isometric conjecture asserts that a normed space with all of its $k$-dimensional subspaces isometric, where $k\geq 2$, is Euclidean. The first case of $k=2$ is classical, established by Auerbach, Mazur and Ulam using an elegant…
The main result says that every surjective isometry between two ideal Banach function spaces satisfying certain conditions can be presented as a composition of a measurable transformation of a variable and multiplication by a function.
A negative solution of Problem 188 posed by Max Eidelheit in {\it the Scottish Book} concerning superpositions of separately absolutely continuous functions is presented. We discuss here his and some related problems which have also…
A separable Banach space $X$ is said to be finitely determined if for each separable space $Y$ such that $X$ is finitely representable (f.r.) in $Y$ and $Y$ is f.r. in $X$ then $Y$ is isometric to $X$. We provide a direct proof (without…
This paper describes our hunt for the solver of Problem 157 in the Scottish Book, a problem originally posed by A.~J. (Gus) Ward in 1937. We first make the observation that a theorem of Richard O'Malley from 1975 yields an immediate…
We study the problem of existence and uniqueness of isometric Banach preduals of a Banach space. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an isometric Banach predual of a Banach space $X$. Then we focus on the case…
We set up a descriptive set-theoretic framework to study Lipschitz-free spaces and use the reduction argument of Bossard to prove several results. We prove two universality results: if a separable Banach space is isomorphically universal…
In this paper, we have proved that for each cardinal number $\lambda$ such that $\lambda=\lambda^{\aleph_0}$ a metric space of weight $\lambda$ admits a bijective continuous mapping onto a Banach space of weight $\lambda$. Then, we get that…
The paper discusses Problems 8 and 88 posed by Stanislaw Mazur in the Scottish Book. It turns out that negative solutions to both problems are immediate consequences of the results of Section 5 of my paper "Estimates of functions of power…
Recently, much interest was devoted to the Urysohn universal metric space U and its isometries; this paper is a contribution to this field of research. In particular, we study some properties of isometries of U, and prove the following…
We prove that if $X$ is a real Banach space, with $\dim X\geq 3$, which contains a subspace of codimension 1 which is 1-complemented in $X$ and whose group of isometries is almost transitive then $X$ is isometric to a Hilbert space. This…
We introduce and investigate a quantitative version of Steinhaus' property $(S)$ for Banach spaces, called the uniform property $(S)$. A Banach space $X$ is said to have uniform $(S)$ if for every pair of distinct unit vectors $x,y\in X$…
It is consistent with any possible value of the continuum $\mathfrak{c}$ that every infinite-dimensional Banach space of density $\leq \mathfrak{c}$ condenses onto the Hilbert cube. Let $\mu$ be a cardinal of uncountable cofinality. It is…
We construct a continuous scalar-valued 2-polynomial, $W$, on the separable Hilbert space $l_2$ and an unbounded set $R\subset l_2$ such that (i) $W$ is bounded on an $\epsilon$-neighbourhood of $R$; (ii) $W$ is unbounded on ${1/2} R$;…
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…
A subspace $X$ of a Banach space $Y$ has $\textit{Property U}$ whenever every continuous linear functional on $X$ has a unique norm-preserving (i.e., Hahn$-$Banach) extension to $Y$ (Phelps, 1960). Throughout this document we introduce and…
It is shown that two Banach spaces are linearly isometric if and only if the Gromov--Hausdorff distance between them is finite, in particular, zero. The proof is compilative and relies on results obtained by many researchers on the…
