Generalized Banach-Mazur distance
We introduce a new class of Banach spaces, called generalized-lush spaces (GL-spaces for short), which contains almost-CL-spaces, separable lush spaces (in particular, separable C-rich subspaces of C(K)), and even the two-dimensional space with hexagonal norm. We find that the space C(K,E) of vector-valued continuous functions is a GL-space whenever E is, and show that the set of GL-spaces is stable under c₀-, l₁- and -sums. As an application, we prove that the Mazur-Ulam property holds for a larger...
The paper is devoted to a description of all real strongly facially symmetric spaces which are isometrically isomorphic to L₁-spaces. We prove that if Z is a real neutral strongly facially symmetric space such that every maximal geometric tripotent from the dual space of Z is unitary, then the space Z is isometrically isomorphic to the space L₁(Ω,Σ,μ), where (Ω,Σ,μ) is an appropriate measure space having the direct sum property.
According to the von Neumann-Halperin and Lapidus theorems, in a Hilbert space the iterates of products or, respectively, of convex combinations of orthoprojections are strongly convergent. We extend these results to the iterates of convex combinations of products of some projections in a complex Banach space. The latter is assumed uniformly convex or uniformly smooth for the orthoprojections, or reflexive for more special projections, in particular, for the hermitian ones. In all cases the proof...
A separable Banach space X contains isomorphically if and only if X has a bounded fundamental total -stable biorthogonal system. The dual of a separable Banach space X fails the Schur property if and only if X has a bounded fundamental total -biorthogonal system.
It is proved that if X is a rotund Banach space and M is a closed and proximinal subspace of X, then the quotient space X/M is also rotund. It is also shown that if Φ does not satisfy the δ₂-condition, then is not proximinal in and the quotient space is not rotund (even if is rotund). Weakly nearly uniform convexity and weakly uniform Kadec-Klee property are introduced and it is proved that a Banach space X is weakly nearly uniformly convex if and only if it is reflexive and it has the weakly...
