Uniqueness of Hahn-Banach extensions and liftings of linear dependences.
The main objective of this paper is to give a simple proof for a larger class of spaces of the following theorem of Kalton and Werner. (a) X has property (M*), and (b) X has the metric compact approximation property Our main tool is a new property (wM*) which we show to be closely related to the unconditional metric approximation property.
We study the connection between intersection properties of balls and the existence of large faces of the unit ball in Banach spaces. Hanner’s result that a real space has the 3.2 intersection property if an only if disjoint faces of the unit ball are contained in parallel hyperplanes is extended to infinite dimensional spaces. It is shown that the space of compact operators from a space to a space has the 3.2 intersection property if and only if and have the 3.2 intersection property and...
We characterize the approximation property of Banach spaces and their dual spaces by the position of finite rank operators in the space of compact operators. In particular, we show that a Banach space E has the approximation property if and only if for all closed subspaces F of , the space ℱ(F,E) of finite rank operators from F to E has the n-intersection property in the corresponding space K(F,E) of compact operators for all n, or equivalently, ℱ(F,E) is an ideal in K(F,E).
We study strict u-ideals in Banach spaces. A Banach space X is a strict u-ideal in its bidual when the canonical decomposition is unconditional. We characterize Banach spaces which are strict u-ideals in their bidual and show that if X is a strict u-ideal in a Banach space Y then X contains c₀. We also show that is not a u-ideal.
We show that a Banach space X has the compact approximation property if and only if for every Banach space Y and every weakly compact operator T: Y → X, the space = S ∘ T: S compact operator on X is an ideal in = span(,T) if and only if for every Banach space Y and every weakly compact operator T: Y → X, there is a net of compact operators on X such that and in the strong operator topology. Similar results for dual spaces are also proved.
Let be a Banach space. We give characterizations of when is a -ideal in for every Banach space in terms of nets of finite rank operators approximating weakly compact operators. Similar characterizations are given for the cases when is a -ideal in for every Banach space , when is a -ideal in for every Banach space , and when is a -ideal in for every Banach space .
