It is shown that every uncountable symmetric basic set in an F-space with a symmetric basis is equivalent to a basic set generated by one vector. We apply this result to investigate the structure of uncountable symmetric basic sets in Orlicz and Lorentz spaces.
It is shown that the order of Gateaux smoothness of bump functions on a wide class of Banach spaces with unconditional basis is not better than that of Fréchet differentiability. It is proved as well that in the separable case this order for Banach lattices satisfying a lower p-estimate for 1≤ p < 2 can be only slightly better.
Approximation and rigidity properties in renorming constructions are characterized with some classes of simple maps. Those maps describe continuity properties up to a countable partition. The construction of such kind of maps can be done with ideas from the First Lebesgue Theorem. We present new results on the relationship between Kadec and locally uniformly rotund renormability as well as characterizations of the last one with the simple maps used here.
We present an equivalent midpoint locally uniformly rotund (MLUR) renorming of C[0,1] with the diameter 2 property (D2P), i.e. every non-empty relatively weakly open subset of the unit ball has diameter 2. An example of an MLUR space with the D2P and with convex combinations of slices of arbitrarily small diameter is also given.
The dual space of a WUR Banach space is weakly K-analytic.
