Topological open problems in the geometry of Banach spaces.
We introduce the notion of projective generator on a given Banach space. Weakly countably determined and dual spaces with the Radon Nikodým property have projective generators. If a Banach space has projective generator, then it admits a projective resolution of the identity. When a Banach space and its dual both have a projective generator then the space admits a shrinking resolution of the identity. These results include previous ones of Amir and Lindenstrauss, John and Zizler, Gul?ko, Vaak, Tacon,...
A topological space (T,τ) is said to be fragmented by a metric d on T if each non-empty subset of T has non-empty relatively open subsets of arbitrarily small d-diameter. The basic theorem of the present paper is the following. Let (M,ϱ) be a metric space with ϱ bounded and let D be an arbitrary index set. Then for a compact subset K of the product space the following four conditions are equivalent: (i) K is fragmented by , where, for each S ⊂ D, . (ii) For each countable subset A of D, is...
We study the boundary structure for w*-compact subsets of dual Banach spaces. To be more precise, for a Banach space X, 0 < ϵ < 1 and a subset T of the dual space X* such that ⋃ B(t,ϵ): t ∈ T contains a James boundary for we study different kinds of conditions on T, besides T being countable, which ensure that . (SP) We analyze two different non-separable cases where the equality (SP) holds: (a) if is the duality mapping and there exists a σ-fragmented map f: X → X* such that B(f(x),ϵ)...
