Description
This book deals with the following open problems: The Lineability Problem for Functionals (Aron and Gurariy, 2004); The Nowhere Density Problem for Functionals (Enflo, 2005); The Minimum-Norm Problem for Translations (Aizpuru and Garca-Pacheco, 2003); The Banach-Mazur Conjecture for Rotations (Banach and Mazur, 1932). The first problem is on the linear structure of the set of norm-attaining functionals on a Banach space (it also considers the linear structure of the set of non-norm-attaining functionals). The second problem is on the topological structure of the set of norm-attaining functionals on a Banach space (it also considers the topological structure of the set of non-norm-attaining functionals). The third problem deals with the non-linear metric structure of translates of convex sets. Finally, the last problem deals with the isometric structure of the unit ball of a Banach space. Francisco Garca is a Visiting Assistant Professor in mathematics at Texas A&M Univ. He has a doctorate in mathematics from Kent State Univ., USA. He also has a doctorate in mathematics from the University of Cdiz, EU. His dissertation (awarded as outstanding by Kent State Univ.) was on three of the four open problems covered in this book.
