A survey on the numerical index of a Banach space.
La aproximación geométrico-secuencial en los problemas de optimización dinámicos. I. El principio de máximo puntual.
En este artículo introducimos una nueva metodología para la generación de condiciones necesarias en problemas de optimización dinámicos. Denominamos a esta metodología la aproximación secuencial en contraposición a la aproximación puntual clásica y mostramos cómo obtener un principio de máximo puntual con este método.
Convexity around the Unit of a Banach Algebra
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 46B20. Secondary: 46H99, 47A12. We estimate the (midpoint) modulus of convexity at the unit 1 of a Banach algebra A showing that inf {max±||1 ± x|| − 1 : x ∈ A, ||x||=ε} ≥ (π/4e)ε²+o(ε²) as ε → 0. We also give a characterization of two-dimensional subspaces of Banach algebras containing the identity in terms of polynomial inequalities.
Extremely non-complex Banach spaces
A Banach space X is said to be an extremely non-complex space if the norm equality ∥Id +T 2∥ = 1+∥T 2∥ holds for every bounded linear operator T on X. We show that every extremely non-complex Banach space has positive numerical index, it does not have an unconditional basis and that the infimum of diameters of the slices of its unit ball is positive.
Numerical index of vector-valued function spaces
We show that the numerical index of a -, -, or -sum of Banach spaces is the infimum of the numerical indices of the summands. Moreover, we prove that the spaces C(K,X) and (K any compact Hausdorff space, μ any positive measure) have the same numerical index as the Banach space X. We also observe that these spaces have the so-called Daugavet property whenever X has the Daugavet property.
The alternative Dunford-Pettis Property in the predual of a von Neumann algebra
Let A be a type II von Neumann algebra with predual A⁎. We prove that A⁎ does not have the alternative Dunford-Pettis property introduced by W. Freedman [7], i.e., there is a sequence (φₙ) converging weakly to φ in A⁎ with ||φₙ|| = ||φ|| = 1 for all n ∈ ℕ and a weakly null sequence (xₙ) in A such that φₙ(xₙ) ↛ 0. This answers a question posed in [7].
Recent progress and open questions on the numerical index of Banach spaces.
The aim of this paper is to review the state-of-the-art of recent research concerning the numerical index of Banach spaces, by presenting some of the results found in the last years and proposing a number of related open problems.
Boosting the inverse interpolation problem by a sum of decaying exponentials using an algebraic approach.
The Daugavet equation for polynomials
We study when the Daugavet equation is satisfied for weakly compact polynomials on a Banach space X, i.e. when the equality ||Id + P|| = 1 + ||P|| is satisfied for all weakly compact polynomials P: X → X. We show that this is the case when X = C(K), the real or complex space of continuous functions on a compact space K without isolated points. We also study the alternative Daugavet equation for polynomials P: X → X. We show that this equation holds for every polynomial on the complex space X =...
On the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás theorem for operators and numerical radius
We study the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property for numerical radius (for short, BPBp-nu) of operators on ℓ₁-sums and -sums of Banach spaces. More precisely, we introduce a property of Banach spaces, which we call strongly lush. We find that if X is strongly lush and X ⊕₁ Y has the weak BPBp-nu, then (X,Y) has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property (BPBp). On the other hand, if Y is strongly lush and has the weak BPBp-nu, then (X,Y) has the BPBp. Examples of strongly lush spaces are C(K) spaces, L₁(μ)...
On order structure and operators in L ∞(μ)
It is known that there is a continuous linear functional on L ∞ which is not narrow. On the other hand, every order-to-norm continuous AM-compact operator from L ∞(μ) to a Banach space is narrow. We study order-to-norm continuous operators acting from L ∞(μ) with a finite atomless measure μ to a Banach space. One of our main results asserts that every order-to-norm continuous operator from L ∞(μ) to c 0(Γ) is narrow while not every such an operator is AM-compact.
Properties of lush spaces and applications to Banach spaces with numerical index 1
The concept of lushness, introduced recently, is a Banach space property, which ensures that the space has numerical index 1. We prove that for Asplund spaces lushness is actually equivalent to having numerical index 1. We prove that every separable Banach space containing an isomorphic copy of c₀ can be renormed equivalently to be lush, and thus to have numerical index 1. The rest of the paper is devoted to the study of lushness just as a property of Banach spaces. We prove that lushness is separably...
