Injective envelope of B(H)
$B(\ell^2)$ is an injective operator system by a result of Arveson. However, $B(\ell^2)$ is not an injective Banach space, since it is not linearly isomorphic to a $C(K)$ space (for instance, $C(K)$ ...

Between Tietze's and Dugundji's extension theorems
The celebrated Tietze extension theorem asserts that any continuous real-valued function defined on a closed subset of a normal space, can be extended to a continuous function on the whole space. Seen ...

Specific criterion for the sum of two closed sets to be closed
Let $Y$ and $Z$ be two closed subspaces of a Banach space $X$ with $Y\cap Z=\{0\}$.
I know that $Y+Z$ is a closed subspace of $X$ $\iff \exists \alpha > 0:\quad \lVert y\rVert \le \alpha\lVert y+z\...

If a subspace $F$ is contained in a subspace $G$, and $H$ is close to $G$, can we choose a subspace of $H$ close to $F$?
Let $E$ be a Banach space. Recall that the collection of all closed linear subspaces of $E$ can be turned into a metric space in a number of ways. In particular, consider the notion of a gap: if $G$ ...

Example of Banach spaces with non-unique uniform structures
While it is known that compact Hausdorff spaces admit unique uniform structures, it is further shown by Johson and Lindenstrauss's result that Banach spaces are characterized by their uniform ...

For a Banach space $X$, when is $X$ homeomorphic to $X \setminus A$?
$\mathbb{R}^n\not\cong\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\{0\}$ are not homeomorphic is a triviality from Algebraic Topology. On the other hand, if $X$ is an infinite dimensional Banach space, then $X \cong X\...

How (and when) to factor a function defined on a product of metric spaces?
Suppose we have a set of regular functions defined on a product of metric spaces, for instance the Banach space of the smooth functions from $\mathbb R^n$ to $\mathbb C$. We know, thanks to the Taylor ...

Determining continuous functions on Banach spaces
Let $X$ be a real Banach space.
For a continuous (not necessarily linear) function $g:X \to \mathbb{R}$ and a family $\mathcal{F} \subseteq X^*$, we´ll say that $\mathcal{F}$ determines $g$ if ...
