Metrical characterization of super-reflexivity and linear type of Banach spaces
We prove that a Banach space X is not super-reflexive if and only if the
hyperbolic infinite tree embeds metrically into X. We improve one implication
of J.Bourgain's result who gave a metrical characterization of
super-reflexivity in Banach spaces in terms of uniforms embeddings of the
finite trees. A characterization of the linear type for Banach spaces is given
using the embedding of the infinite tree equipped with a suitable metric.Comment: to appear in Archiv der Mathemati
Internet Sales Taxes From Borders to Amazon: How Long Before All of Your Purchases Are Taxed?
What so many internet consumers believe to be tax-free is actually subject to a state use tax. Faced with pressure from states that realize very little of the use tax owed, many online retailers, such as Wal-mart, voluntarily collect sales taxes from their customers. But a recent California Appeals Court decision, Borders Online v. State Board of Equalization, could mark a shift towards more prevalent, if not universal, taxation of internet retail
Embeddings of locally finite metric spaces into Banach spaces
We show that if X is a Banach space without cotype, then every locally finite
metric space embeds metrically into X.Comment: 6 pages, to appear in Proceedings of the AM
Tight embeddability of proper and stable metric spaces
We introduce the notions of almost Lipschitz embeddability and nearly
isometric embeddability. We prove that for , every proper
subset of is almost Lipschitzly embeddable into a Banach space if and
only if contains uniformly the 's. We also sharpen a result of N.
Kalton by showing that every stable metric space is nearly isometrically
embeddable in the class of reflexive Banach spaces.Comment: 19 page
A new metric invariant for Banach spaces
We show that if the Szlenk index of a Banach space is larger than the
first infinite ordinal or if the Szlenk index of its dual is larger
than , then the tree of all finite sequences of integers equipped with
the hyperbolic distance metrically embeds into . We show that the converse
is true when is assumed to be reflexive. As an application, we exhibit new
classes of Banach spaces that are stable under coarse-Lipschitz embeddings and
therefore under uniform homeomorphisms.Comment: 22 page
