We show that a Banach space with numerical index one cannot enjoy good convexity or smoothness properties unless it is one-dimensional. For instance, it has no WLUR points in its unit ball, its norm is not Frechet smooth and its dual norm is neither smooth nor strictly convex. Actually, these results also hold if the space has the (strictly weaker) alternative Daugavet property. We construct a (non-complete) strictly convex predual of an infinite-dimensional $L_1$ space (which satisfies a property called lushness which implies numerical index~1). On the other hand, we show that a lush real Banach space is neither strictly convex nor smooth, unless it is one-dimensional. In particular, if a subspace $X$ of the real space $C[0,1]$ is smooth or strictly convex, then $C[0,1]/X$ contains a copy of $C[0,1]$. Finally, we prove that the dual of any lush infinite-dimensional real space contains a copy of $ell_1$.
For every $alpha<omega_1$ we establish the existence of a separable Banach space whose Szlenk index is $omega^{alphaomega+1}$ and which is universal for all separable Banach spaces whose Szlenk-index does not exceed $omega^{alphaomega}$. In order to
Famous Naimark-Han-Larson dilation theorem for frames in Hilbert spaces states that every frame for a separable Hilbert space $mathcal{H}$ is image of a Riesz basis under an orthogonal projection from a separable Hilbert space $mathcal{H}_1$ which co
The purpose of this article is to present the construction and basic properties of the general Bochner integral. The approach presented here is based on the ideas from the book The Bochner Integral by J. Mikusinski where the integral is presented for
We prove that every isometry between two combinatorial spaces is determined by a permutation of the canonical unit basis combined with a change of signs. As a consequence, we show that in the case of Schreier spaces, all the isometries are given by a
We continue our investigation, from cite{dh}, of the ring-theoretic infiniteness properties of ultrapowers of Banach algebras, studying in this paper the notion of being purely infinite. It is well known that a $C^*$-algebra is purely infinite if and
