The Mahler volume of a centrally symmetric convex body K is defined as M(K)= (Vol K)(Vol K^dual). Mahler conjectured that this volume is minimized when K is a cube. We introduce the bottleneck conjecture, which stipulates that a certain…

As in Hokusai's series of paintings "Thirty six views of mount Fuji" in which mount Fuji's is sometimes scarcely visible, the central topic of this paper is the geometry of $K$-spaces although in some of the seven views presented $K$-spaces…

We introduce and study Banach spaces which have property CWO, i.e., every finite convex combination of relatively weakly open subsets of their unit ball is open in the relative weak topology of the unit ball. Stability results of such…

Using the game approach to fragmentability, we give new and simpler proofs of the following known results: (a) If the Banach space admits an equivalent Kadec norm, then its weak topology is fragmented by a metric which is stronger than the…

A Banach space $X$ has \textit{property $(K)$}, whenever every weak* null sequence in the dual space admits a convex block subsequence $(f_{n})_{n=1}^\infty$ so that $\langle f_{n},x_{n}\rangle\to 0$ as $n\to \infty$ for every weakly null…

We establish a general criterion for the existence of convex sets of fixed shape as, e.g., balls of a given radius, of maximal probability on Banach spaces. We also provide counterexamples showing that their existence my fail even in some…

We study the metric entropy of the metric space $B_n$ of all n-dimensional Banach spaces (the so-called Banach-Mazur compactum) equipped with the Banach-Mazur (multiplicative) "distance" $d$. We are interested either in estimates…

A certain inequality conjectured by Vershynin is studied. It is proved that for any $n$-dimensional symmetric convex body $K$ with inradius $w$ and $\gamma_{n}(K) \leq 1/2$ there is $\gamma_{n}(sK) \leq (2s)^{w^{2}/4}\gamma_{n}(K)$ for any…

In this paper, we begin by constructing global linear maps on (n-2)-dimensional subspaces, derived from the local continuity of linear transformations among central sections of a convex body. Using these linear maps, we subsequently…

The main local invariants of a (one variable) differential module over the complex numbers are given by means of a cyclic basis. In the $p$-adic setting the existence of a cyclic vector is often unknown. We investigate the existence of such…

A generalization of Lozanovskii's result is proved. Let E be $k$-dimensional subspace of an $n$-dimensional Banach space with unconditional basis. Then there exist $x_1,..,x_k \subset E$ such that $B_E \p \subset \p absconv\{x_1,..,x_k\}$…

In this paper, we investigate holomorphic mappings $F$ on the unit ball $\mathbb{B}$ of a complex Banach space of the form $F(x)=f(x)x$, where $f$ is a holomorphic function on $\mathbb{B}$. First, we investigate criteria for univalence,…

We study the complexity of Banach space valued integration in the randomized setting. We are concerned with $r$-times continuously differentiable functions on the $d$-dimensional unit cube $Q$, with values in a Banach space $X$, and…

We consider the cardinal invariant CG(X) of the minimal number of weakly compact subsets which generate a Banach space X. We study the behavior of this index when passing to subspaces, its relation with the Lindelof number in the weak…

In this paper, we give three different new proofs of the validity of the geometry conjecture about cycles of projections onto nonempty closed, convex subsets of a Hilbert space. The first uses a simple minimax theorem, which depends on the…

Let $K$ be a convex body (a non-empty compact convex set) in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. A set $B$ is called a barrier (or an `opaque set') for $K$ if every line that intersects $K$, also intersects $B$. Although this concept was…

The aperture angle alpha(x, Q) of a point x not in Q in the plane with respect to a convex polygon Q is the angle of the smallest cone with apex x that contains Q. The aperture angle approximation error of a compact convex set C in the…

Consider the problem of fnding the smallest area convex $k$-gon containing $n\in\mathbb{N}$ congruent disks without an overlap. By using Wegner inequality in sphere packing theory we give a lower bound for the area of such polygons. For…

In the present paper we prove that a necessary condition for a Banach space $X$ to admit a generating compact Lipschitz retract $K$, which satisfies an additional mild assumption on its shape, is that $X$ enjoys the Bounded Approximation…

According to a result due to B.T. Polyak, a mapping between Hilbert spaces, which is $C^{1,1}$ around a regular point, carries a ball centered at that point to a convex set, provided that the radius of the ball is small enough. The present…
