We prove that for each dense non-compact linear operator S: X → Y between Banach spaces there is a linear operator T: Y → c₀ such that the operator TS: X → c₀ is not compact. This generalizes the Josefson-Nissenzweig Theorem.
Given a subset A of a topological space X, a locally convex space Y, and a family ℂ of subsets of Y we study the problem of the existence of a linear ℂ-extender , which is a linear operator extending bounded continuous functions f: A → C ⊂ Y, C ∈ ℂ, to bounded continuous functions f̅ = u(f): X → C ⊂ Y. Two necessary conditions for the existence of such an extender are found in terms of a topological game, which is a modification of the classical strong Choquet game. The results obtained allow us...
We find conditions for a smooth nonlinear map f: U → V between open subsets of Hilbert or Banach spaces to be locally convex in the sense that for some c and each positive ɛ < c the image f(B ɛ(x)) of each ɛ-ball B ɛ(x) ⊂ U is convex. We give a lower bound on c via the second order Lipschitz constant Lip2(f), the Lipschitz-open constant Lipo(f) of f, and the 2-convexity number conv2(X) of the Banach space X.
A Banach space is called if for any cover of by weakly open sets there is a finite subfamily covering some ball of radius 1 centered at a point with . We prove that an infinite-dimensional separable Banach space is -reflexive (-reflexive for some ) if and only if each -net for has an accumulation point (resp., contains a non-trivial convergent sequence) in the weak topology of . We show that the quasireflexive James space is -reflexive for no . We do not know if each -reflexive...
