Bade, Curtis and Dales have introduced the idea of weak amenability. A commutative Banach algebra A is weakly amenable if there are no non-zero continuous derivations from A to A*. We extend this by defining an alternating n-derivation to be an alternating n-linear map from A to A* which is a derivation in each of its variables. Then we say that A is n-dimensionally weakly amenable if there are no non-zero continuous alternating n-derivations on A. Alternating n-derivations are the same as alternating...
Given a Banach space X and a subspace Y, the pair (X,Y) is said to have the approximation property (AP) provided there is a net of finite rank bounded linear operators on X all of which leave the subspace Y invariant such that the net converges uniformly on compact subsets of X to the identity operator. In particular, if the pair (X,Y) has the AP then X, Y, and the quotient space X/Y have the classical Grothendieck AP. The main result is an easy to apply dual formulation of this property. Applications...
We show that a Banach space X has the stochastic approximation property iff it has the stochasic basis property, and these properties are equivalent to the approximation property if X has nontrivial type. If for every Radon probability on X, there is an operator from an space into X whose range has probability one, then X is a quotient of an space. This extends a theorem of Sato’s which dealt with the case p = 2. In any infinite-dimensional Banach space X there is a compact set K so that for...
We give a corrected proof of Theorem 2.10 in our paper “Commutators on ” [Studia Math. 206 (2011), 175-190] for the case 1 < q < p < ∞. The case when 1 = q < p < ∞ remains open. As a consequence, the Main Theorem and Corollary 2.17 in that paper are only valid for 1 < p,q < ∞.
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.
