Definition. A subset $K$ of a topological group $X$ is called measure-continuous if there exists a $\sigma$-additive Borel probability measure $\mu$ on $X$ such that for every compact subset $C\subset …

Problem 1. Characterize compact Hausdorff spaces $K$ for which the Banach space $C(K)$ of continuous real-valued functions embeds into the Banach space $c_0$. Since $c_0$ has separable dual, such …

Let us call a series $\sum_n x_n$ in a Banach space "good" if there exists a permutation $\sigma:\mathbb N\to\mathbb N$ such that the rearranged series $\sum_n x_{\sigma(n)}$ converges. Find a simpl …

By Theorem 1.6 in the book "Geometric Nonlinear Functional Analysis" by Benyamini and Lindenstrauss, the Banach space $C[0,1]$ is a Lipschitz retract of the Banach space $\ell_\infty[0,1]$. Unfortunat …

A bounded subset $B$ of the dual $X^*$ of a Banach space $X$ is called norming if the formula $\|x\|:=\sup\{|x^*(x)|:x^*\in B\}$ determines an equivalent norm on $X$. Observe that the sequence $(e_n^ …

For a function $x:\omega\to\mathbb R$ let $|x|$ denote the function $|x|:\omega\to[0,\infty)$, $|x|:n\mapsto|x(n)|$. It is well-know that a series $\sum_{n\in\omega}r_n$ of real numbers converges unco …

A metric space $X$ is called an absolute $L$-Lipschitz retract if for any metric space $Y$ containing $X$ there exists a Lipschitz retraction $r:Y\to X$ with Lipschitz constant $Lip(r)\le L$. Questio …

A metric space $X$ is defined to be an absolute Lipschitz extensor for compacta if each Lipschitz map $f:K\to K$ defined on a compact subset $K\subset X$ extends to a Lipschitz map $\bar f: X\to X$. …

Definition. Let us define a Banach space $X$ to be co-Sobczyk if every linear bounded operator $T:Z\to c_0$ defined on a separable subspace $Z$ of $X$ extends to a bounded operator $\bar T:X\to c_0 …

For a Banach space $X\ne \{0\}$, let $\mathrm{cov}_H(X)$ be the smallest number of hyperplanes covering $X$. By a hyperplane in a Banach space I understand any closed affine subspace of codimension …

Let $(X,\|\cdot\|)$ be a 2-dimensional real Banach space and $S=\{x\in X:\|x\|=1\}$ be its unit sphere. Assume that $S$ is smooth in the sense that for any $y\in S$ there exists a unique functional $y …

Let $B=-B$ be a nowhere dense bounded closed convex set in the Hilbert space $\ell_2$ such that the linear hull of $B$ is dense in $\ell_2$. Question. Is there a non-compact linear bounded operato …

I am looking for a standard name (if it exists) for the following property of a Schauder basis $(e_i)_{i=1}^\infty$ in a Banach space $X$: $$\|\sum_{i\in F}x_ie_i\|\le\|x\|$$for any $x=\sum_{i=1}^\in …

Given a real number $c\ge 1$ let us say that a metric space $X$ is a $c$-Lipschitz comp-extensor if each Lipschitz self-map $f:K\to K$ of a compact subset $K\subset X$ extends to a Lipschitz self-map …

$\DeclareMathOperator\cov{cov}\newcommand\A{\text A}$A subset $A$ of a group $G$ is called affine if $A=xHy$ for some subgroup $H\subseteq G$ and some $x,y\in G$. Given a non-discrete topological grou …
