Let C(X) be the set of all convex and continuous functions on a separable infinite dimensional Banach space X, equipped with the topology of uniform convergence on bounded subsets of X. We show that the subset of all convex Fréchet-differentiable functions on X, and the subset of all (not necessarily equivalent) Fréchet-differentiable norms on X, reduce every coanalytic set, in particular they are not Borel-sets.

For Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, let $K_{w^{*}}(X^{*},Y)$ denote the space of all $w^{*}-w$ continuous compact operators from $X^{*}$ to $Y$ endowed with the operator norm. A Banach space $X$ has the $wGP$ property if every Grothendieck subset of $X$ is relatively weakly compact. In this paper we study Banach spaces with property $wGP$. We investigate whether the spaces $K_{w^{*}}(X^{*},Y)$ and $X{\otimes }_{ϵ}Y$ have the $wGP$ property, when $X$ and $Y$ have the $wGP$ property.

Let X be a Banach space. If the natural projection p:X*** → X* is sequentially weak*-weak continuous then the space X is said to have the weak Phillips property. We present several characterizations of the spaces having this property and study its relationships to other Banach space properties, especially the Grothendieck property.

It is proved that a Banach space X has the Lyapunov property if its subspace Y and the quotient space X/Y have it.

Let ${Rₙ}_{n=1}^{\infty }$ be a commuting approximating sequence of the Banach space X leaving the closed subspace A ⊂ X invariant. Then we prove three-space results of the following kind: If the operators Rₙ induce basis projections on X/A, and X or A is an ${ℒ}_p$-space, then both X and A have bases. We apply these results to show that the spaces $C_{\Lambda }=\overline{span}{z}^k:k\in \Lambda \subset C\left(\right)$ and $L_{\Lambda }=\overline{span}{z}^k:k\in \Lambda \subset L₁\left(\right)$ have bases whenever Λ ⊂ ℤ and ℤ∖Λ is a Sidon set.

It is shown that there is a subspace $Z_q$ of ${\ell }_q$ for $1<q<2$ which is isomorphic to ${\ell }_q$ such that ${\ell }_q/Z_q$ does not have the approximation property. On the other hand, for $2<p<\infty$ there is a subspace $Y_p$ of ${\ell }_p$ such that $Y_p$ does not have the approximation property (AP) but the quotient space ${\ell }_p/Y_p$ is isomorphic to ${\ell }_p$. The result is obtained by defining random “Enflo-Davie spaces” $Y_p$ which with full probability fail AP for all $2<p\le \infty$ and have AP for all $1\le p\le 2$. For $1<p\le 2$, $Y_p$ are isomorphic to ${\ell }_p$.

In this article, we formalize topological properties of real normed spaces. In the first part, open and closed, density, separability and sequence and its convergence are discussed. Then we argue properties of real normed subspace. Then we discuss linear functions between real normed speces. Several kinds of subspaces induced by linear functions such as kernel, image and inverse image are considered here. The fact that Lipschitz continuity operators preserve convergence of sequences is also refered...

The main result: the dual of separable Banach space X contains a total subspace which is not norming over any infinite-dimensional subspace of X if and only if X has a nonquasireflexive quotient space with a strictly singular quotient mapping.

We study the question of when the set of norm attaining functionals on a Banach space is a linear space. We show that this property is preserved by factor reflexive proximinal subspaces in $\widetilde{R\left(1\right)}$ spaces and generally by taking quotients by proximinal subspaces. We show, for (ℓ₂) and c₀-direct sums of families of reflexive spaces, the transitivity of proximinality for factor reflexive subspaces. We also investigate the linear structure of the set of norm attaining functionals on hyperplanes of c₀ and...
