The dual of a Banach space X is of weak type p if and only if the entropy numbers of an r-nuclear operator with values in a Banach space of weak type q belong to the Lorentz sequence space with 1/s + 1/p + 1/q = 1 + 1/r (0 < r < 1, 1 ≤ p, q ≤ 2). It is enough to test this for Y = X*. This extends results of Carl, König and Kühn.
We define the radius of the inscribed and circumscribed circumferences in a triangle located in a real normed space and we obtain new characterizations of inner product spaces.
In this note, we prove that a real or complex Banach space is an -predual space if and only if every four-point subset of is centerable. The real case sharpens Rao’s result in [Chebyshev centers and centerable sets, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 130 (2002), no. 9, 2593–2598] and the complex case is closely related to the characterizations of -predual spaces by Lima [Complex Banach spaces whose duals are -spaces, Israel J. Math. 24 (1976), no. 1, 59–72].
Rosenthal in [11] proved that if is a uniformly bounded sequence of real-valued functions which has no pointwise converging subsequence then has a subsequence which is equivalent to the unit basis of in the supremum norm. Kechris and Louveau in [6] classified the pointwise convergent sequences of continuous real-valued functions, which are defined on a compact metric space, by the aid of a countable ordinal index “”. In this paper we prove some local analogues of the above Rosenthal ’s theorem...
We give a full characterization of the closed one-codimensional subspaces of , in which every bounded set has a Chebyshev center. It turns out that one can consider equivalently only finite sets (even only three-point sets) in our case, but not in general. Such hyperplanes are exactly those which are either proximinal or norm-one complemented.
We apply the Chebyshev coefficients λf and λb, recently introduced by the authors, to obtain some results related to certain geometric properties of Banach spaces. We prove that a real normed space E is an L1-predual if and only if λf(E) = 1/2, and that if a (real or complex) normed space E is a P1 space, then λb(E) equals λb(K), where K is the ground field of E.
The study of circumcenters in different types of triangles in real normed spaces gives new characterizations of inner product spaces.
We prove some multi-dimensional Clarkson type inequalities for Banach spaces. The exact relations between such inequalities and the concepts of type and cotype are shown, which gives a conclusion in an extended setting to M. Milman's observation on Clarkson's inequalities and type. A similar investigation conceming the close connection between random Clarkson inequality and the corresponding concepts of type and cotype is also included. The obtained results complement, unify and generalize several...
We study orthogonal uniform convexity, a geometric property connected with property (β) of Rolewicz, P-convexity of Kottman, and the fixed point property (see [19, [20]). We consider the coefficient of orthogonal convexity in Köthe spaces and Köthe-Bochner spaces.
We investigate conditions under which the projective and the injective topologies coincide on the tensor product of two Köthe echelon or coechelon spaces. A major tool in the proof is the characterization of the επ-continuity of the tensor product of two diagonal operators from to . Several sharp forms of this result are also included.
Let T be a bounded linear operator on with 1 ≤ q < ∞ and 1 < p < ∞. Then T is a commutator if and only if for all non-zero λ ∈ ℂ, the operator T - λI is not X-strictly singular.
