This is the third published volume of the proceedings of the Israel Seminar on Geometric Aspects of Functional Analysis. The large majority of the papers in this volume are original research papers. There was last year a strong emphasis on classical finite-dimensional convexity theory and its connection with Banach space theory. In recent years, it has become evident that the notions and results of the local theory of Banach spaces are useful in solving classical questions in convexity theory. The present volume contributes to clarifying this point. In addition this volume contains basic...

This volume contains a collection of original research papers on recent developments in Banach space theory and related areas by many of the leading research workers in the field. A considerable number of papers are devoted to structure theory of infinite-dimensional Banach spaces. This research ground has experienced a remarkable breakthrough in recent years, which has given new insight into infinite-dimensional geometry (even of Hilbert spaces). Several new results and examples are included in this volume and new research directions are surveyed. Other contributions concern the well...
