Let (Ω,∑,μ) be a purely non-atomic measure space, and let 1 < p < ∞. If $L^{p,\infty }(\Omega ,\sum ,\mu )$ is isomorphic, as a Banach space, to $L^{p,\infty }({\Omega }^{\text{'}},{\sum }^{\text{'}},{\mu }^{\text{'}})$ for some purely atomic measure space (Ω’,∑’,μ’), then there is a measurable partition $\Omega ={\Omega }_1\cup {\Omega }_2$ such that $({\Omega }_1,\Sigma \cap {\Omega }_1,\mu {|}_{\Sigma \cap {\Omega }_1})$ is countably generated and σ-finite, and that μ(σ) = 0 or ∞ for every measurable $\sigma \subseteq {\Omega }_2$. In particular, $L^{p,\infty }(\Omega ,\sum ,\mu )$ is isomorphic to ${\ell }^{p,\infty }$.

It is shown that the weak $L^p$ spaces ${\ell }^{p,\infty },L^{p,\infty }[0,1]$, and $L^{p,\infty }[0,\infty )$ are isomorphic as Banach spaces.

Let X, Y be complete metric spaces and E, F be Banach spaces. A bijective linear operator from a space of E-valued functions on X to a space of F-valued functions on Y is said to be biseparating if f and g are disjoint if and only if Tf and Tg are disjoint. We introduce the class of generalized Lipschitz spaces, which includes as special cases the classes of Lipschitz, little Lipschitz and uniformly continuous functions. Linear biseparating maps between generalized Lipschitz spaces are characterized...

It is shown that there exists a Banach space with an unconditional basis which is not $c_0$-saturated, but whose dual is ${\ell }^1$-saturated.

We investigate the existence of higher order ℓ¹-spreading models in subspaces of mixed Tsirelson spaces. For instance, we show that the following conditions are equivalent for the mixed Tsirelson space $X=T\left[{(\theta ₙ,ₙ)}_{n=1}^{\infty }\right]$: (1) Every block subspace of X contains an $\ell ¹{-}_{\omega }$-spreading model, (2) The Bourgain ℓ¹-index $I_b\left(Y\right)=I\left(Y\right)>{\omega }^{\omega }$ for any block subspace Y of X, (3) $limₘlimsupₙ{\theta }_{m+n}/\theta ₙ>0$ and every block subspace Y of X contains a block sequence equivalent to a subsequence of the unit vector basis of X. Moreover, if one (and hence all) of these conditions...

The classical theorems of Banach and Stone (1932, 1937), Gelfand and Kolmogorov (1939) and Kaplansky (1947) show that a compact Hausdorff space X is uniquely determined by the linear isometric structure, the algebraic structure, and the lattice structure, respectively, of the space C(X). In this paper, it is shown that for rather general subspaces A(X) and A(Y) of C(X) and C(Y), respectively, any linear bijection T: A(X) → A(Y) such that f ≥ 0 if and only if Tf ≥ 0 gives rise to a homeomorphism...

Let K be a compact metric space. A real-valued function on K is said to be of Baire class one (Baire-1) if it is the pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous functions. We study two well known ordinal indices of Baire-1 functions, the oscillation index β and the convergence index γ. It is shown that these two indices are fully compatible in the following sense: a Baire-1 function f satisfies $\beta \left(f\right)\le {\omega }^{\xi ₁}·{\omega }^{\xi ₂}$ for some countable ordinals ξ₁ and ξ₂ if and only if there exists a sequence (fₙ) of Baire-1 functions...

A classical theorem of Kuratowski says that every Baire one function on a $G_{\delta }$ subspace of a Polish (= separable completely metrizable) space X can be extended to a Baire one function on X. Kechris and Louveau introduced a finer gradation of Baire one functions into small Baire classes. A Baire one function f is assigned into a class in this hierarchy depending on its oscillation index β(f). We prove a refinement of Kuratowski’s theorem: if Y is a subspace of a metric space X and f is a real-valued...

We study minimality properties of partly modified mixed Tsirelson spaces. A Banach space with a normalized basis $\left(e_k\right)$ is said to be subsequentially minimal if for every normalized block basis $\left(x_k\right)$ of $\left(e_k\right)$, there is a further block basis $\left(y_k\right)$ of $\left(x_k\right)$ such that $\left(y_k\right)$ is equivalent to a subsequence of $\left(e_k\right)$. Sufficient conditions are given for a partly modified mixed Tsirelson space to be subsequentially minimal, and connections with Bourgain’s ℓ¹-index are established. It is also shown that a large class of mixed Tsirelson...

We develop a calculus for the oscillation index of Baire one functions using gauges analogous to the modulus of continuity.
