On complemented subspaces of sums and products of Banach spaces

We study the $H^1$-projective Banach spaces. We prove that they have the Analytic Radon-Nikodym Property, and that they are cotype 2 spaces which satisfy Grothendieck's Theorem. We show also that the ultraproduct of $H^1$-projective spaces is $H^1$-projective. Other results are also discussed.

We construct a continuum of mutually non-isomorphic separable Banach spaces which are complemented in each other. Consequently, the Schroeder-Bernstein Index of any of these spaces is $2^{\aleph_0}$. Our construction is based on a Banach space introduced by W. T. Gowers and B. Maurey in 1997. We also use classical descriptive set theory methods, as in some work of V. Ferenczi and C. Rosendal, to improve some results of P. G. Casazza and of N. J. Kalton on the Schroeder-Bernst...

We discuss some open problems in the Geometry of Banach spaces having Ramsey-theoretic flavor. The problems are exposed together with well known results related to them.

We show that $c_0$ is not a projective Banach lattice, answering a question of B. de Pagter and A. Wickstead. On the other hand, we show that $c_0$ is complemented in the free Banach lattice generated by itself (seen as a Banach space). As a consequence, the free Banach lattice generated by $c_0$ is not projective.

We consider the compact spaces sigma_n(I) of subsets of an uncountable set I of cardinality at most n and their countable products. We give a complete classification of their Banach spaces of continuous functions and a partial topological classification.

Given a compact Hausdorff space $K$ we consider the Banach space of real continuous functions $C(K^n)$ or equivalently the $n$-fold injective tensor product $\hat\bigotimes_{\varepsilon}C(K)$ or the Banach space of vector valued continuous functions $C(K, C(K, C(K ..., C(K)...)$. We address the question of the existence of complemented copies of $c_0(\omega_1)$ in $\hat\bigotimes_{\varepsilon}C(K)$ under the hypothesis that $C(K)$ contains an isomorphic copy of $c_0(\omega_1)...

In this paper we first take a detail survey of the study of the Banach-Saks property of Banach spaces and then show the Banach-Saks property of the product spaces generated by a finite number of Banach spaces having the Banach-Saks property. A more general inequality for integrals of a class of composite functions is also given by using this property.

In the context of classical associations between classes of Banach spaces and classes of compact Hausdorff spaces we survey known results and open questions concerning the existence and nonexistence of universal Banach spaces and of universal compact spaces in various classes. This gives quite a complex network of interrelations which quite often depend on additional set-theoretic assumptions.

For locally convex spaces, we systematize several known equivalent definitions of Fr\'echet (G\^ ateaux) Differentiability Spaces and Asplund (Weak Asplund) Spaces. As an application, we extend the classical Mazur's theorem as follows: Let $E$ be a separable Baire locally convex space and let $Y$ be the product $\prod_{\alpha\in A} E_{\alpha}$ of any family of separable Fr\'echet spaces; then the product $E \times Y$ is Weak Asplund. Also, we prove that the product $Y$ of a...

We show how to construct nonlocally convex quasi-Banach spaces $X$ whose dual separates the points of a dense subspace of $X$ but does not separate the points of $X$. Our examples connect with a question raised by Pietsch [About the Banach envelope of $l_{1,\infty}$, Rev. Mat. Complut. 22 (2009), 209-226] and shed light into the unexplored class of quasi-Banach spaces with nontrivial dual which do not have sufficiently many functionals to separate the points of the space.
