In this paper we adopt the notion of orthogonality in Banach spaces introduced by the author in [6]. There, the author showed that in any two-dimensional subspace F of E, every nonzero element admits at most one orthogonal direction. The problem of existence of such orthogonal direction was not addressed before. Our main purpose in this paper is the investigation of this problem in the case where E is a real Banach space. As a result we obtain a characterisation of Hilbert spaces stating that, if in every two-dimensional subspace F of E every nonzero element admits an orthogonal direction, then E is isometric to a Hilbert space. We conclude by presenting some open problems.

Abstract. The space now known as complete Erdős space was introduced by Paul Erdős in 1940 as the closed subspace of the Hilbert space ℓ2 consisting of all vectors such that every coordinate is in the convergent sequence ﹛0﹜ ∪ ﹛1/n : n ∈ℕ﹜. In a solution to a problem posed by Lex G. Oversteegen we present simple and useful topological characterizations of . As an application we determine the class of factors of . In another application we determine precisely which of the spaces that can be constructed in the Banach spaces ℓp according to the ‘Erdős method’ are homeomorphic to . A novel application states that if I is a Polishable Fσ-ideal on ω, then I with the Polish topology is homeomorphic to either ℤ, the Cantor set 2ω, ℤ × 2ω, or . This last result answers a question that was asked by Stevo Todorčević.

This chapter gives an account of the known genuinely infinite dimensional results proving Fréchet differentiability almost everywhere except for Γ‎-null sets. Γ‎-null sets provide the only notion of negligible sets with which a Fréchet differentiability result is known. Porous sets appear as sets at which Gâteaux derivatives can behave irregularly, and they turn out to be the only obstacle to validity of a Fréchet differentiability result Γ‎-almost everywhere. Furthermore, geometry of the space may (or may not) guarantee that porous sets are Γ‎-null. The chapter also shows that on some infinite dimensional Banach spaces countable collections of real-valued Lipschitz functions, and even of fairly general Lipschitz maps to infinite dimensional spaces, have a common point of Fréchet differentiability.

In 1943 Gelfand and Neumark (3) characterized uniformly closed self-adjoint algebras of bounded operators on a Hilbert space as Banach algebras with an involution (a conjugate linear anti-isomorphism of period two) satisfying several additional conditions. The main purpose of this paper is to point out that if we consider algebras of bounded operators on complex Banach spaces more general than Hilbert space, then we can represent a larger class of algebras by essentially the same methods.
