Spaces of operators and c₀

P. Lewis (2001)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Bessaga and Pełczyński showed that if c₀ embeds in the dual X* of a Banach space X, then ℓ¹ embeds complementably in X, and $ℓ^{\infty}$ embeds as a subspace of X*. In this note the Diestel-Faires theorem and techniques of Kalton are used to show that if X is an infinite-dimensional Banach space, Y is an arbitrary Banach space, and c₀ embeds in L(X,Y), then $ℓ^{\infty}$ embeds in L(X,Y), and ℓ¹ embeds complementably in $X \otimes_{γ} Y *$ . Applications to embeddings of c₀ in various spaces of operators are given.

Compact operators whose adjoints factor through subspaces of $l_{p}$

Deba P. Sinha, Anil K. Karn (2002)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

For p ≥ 1, a subset K of a Banach space X is said to be relatively p-compact if $K \subset \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} α ₙ x ₙ : α ₙ \in B a l l (l_{p^{'}})$ , where p’ = p/(p-1) and $x ₙ \in l_{p}^{s} (X)$ . An operator T ∈ B(X,Y) is said to be p-compact if T(Ball(X)) is relatively p-compact in Y. Similarly, weak p-compactness may be defined by considering $x ₙ \in l_{p}^{w} (X)$ . It is proved that T is (weakly) p-compact if and only if T* factors through a subspace of $l_{p}$ in a particular manner. The normed operator ideals $(K_{p}, κ_{p})$ of p-compact operators and $(W_{p}, ω_{p})$ of weakly p-compact operators, arising from these factorizations,...

2-summing multiplication operators

Dumitru Popa (2013)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let 1 ≤ p < ∞, $= {(X ₙ)}_{n \in ℕ}$ be a sequence of Banach spaces and $l_{p} ()$ the coresponding vector valued sequence space. Let $= {(X ₙ)}_{n \in ℕ}$ , $= {(Y ₙ)}_{n \in ℕ}$ be two sequences of Banach spaces, $= {(V ₙ)}_{n \in ℕ}$ , Vₙ: Xₙ → Yₙ, a sequence of bounded linear operators and 1 ≤ p,q < ∞. We define the multiplication operator $M_{} : l_{p} () \to l_{q} ()$ by $M_{} ({(x ₙ)}_{n \in ℕ}) : = {(V ₙ (x ₙ))}_{n \in ℕ}$ . We give necessary and sufficient conditions for $M_{}$ to be 2-summing when (p,q) is one of the couples (1,2), (2,1), (2,2), (1,1), (p,1), (p,2), (2,p), (1,p), (p,q); in the last case 1 < p < 2, 1 < q < ∞. ...

Decompositions for real Banach spaces with small spaces of operators

Manuel González, José M. Herrera (2007)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We consider real Banach spaces X for which the quotient algebra (X)/ℐn(X) is finite-dimensional, where ℐn(X) stands for the ideal of inessential operators on X. We show that these spaces admit a decomposition as a finite direct sum of indecomposable subspaces $X_{i}$ for which $(X_{i}) / ℐ n (X_{i})$ is isomorphic as a real algebra to either the real numbers ℝ, the complex numbers ℂ, or the quaternion numbers ℍ. Moreover, the set of subspaces $X_{i}$ can be divided into subsets in such a way that if $X_{i}$ and $X_{j}$ are in different...

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

This paper deals with homeomorphisms F: X → Y, between Banach spaces X and Y, which are of the form $F (x) : = F ̃ x^{(2 n + 1)}$ where $F ̃ : X^{2 n + 1} \to Y$ is a continuous (2n+1)-linear operator.

Essentially Incomparable Banach Spaces of Continuous Functions

Rogério Augusto dos Santos Fajardo (2010)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We construct, under Axiom ♢, a family ${(C (K_{ξ}))}_{ξ < 2^{(2^{ω})}}$ of indecomposable Banach spaces with few operators such that every operator from $C (K_{ξ})$ into $C (K_{η})$ is weakly compact, for all ξ ≠ η. In particular, these spaces are pairwise essentially incomparable. Assuming no additional set-theoretic axiom, we obtain this result with size $2^{ω}$ instead of $2^{(2^{ω})}$ .

On Banach spaces C(K) isomorphic to c₀(Γ)

Witold Marciszewski (2003)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We give a characterization of compact spaces K such that the Banach space C(K) is isomorphic to the space c₀(Γ) for some set Γ. As an application we show that there exists an Eberlein compact space K of weight $ω_{ω}$ and with the third derived set $K^{(3)}$ empty such that the space C(K) is not isomorphic to any c₀(Γ). For this compactum K, the spaces C(K) and $c ₀ (ω_{ω})$ are examples of weakly compactly generated (WCG) Banach spaces which are Lipschitz isomorphic but not isomorphic.

On Lindenstrauss-Pełczyński spaces

We consider some stability aspects of the classical problem of extension of C(K)-valued operators. We introduce the class ℒ of Banach spaces of Lindenstrauss-Pełczyński type as those such that every operator from a subspace of c₀ into them can be extended to c₀. We show that all ℒ-spaces are of type $ℒ_{\infty}$ but not conversely. Moreover, $ℒ_{\infty}$ -spaces will be characterized as those spaces E such that E-valued operators from w*(l₁,c₀)-closed subspaces of l₁ extend to l₁. Regarding examples we will...

Results of Emmanuele and Drewnowski are used to study the containment of c₀ in the space $K_{w *} (X *, Y)$ , as well as the complementation of the space $K_{w *} (X *, Y)$ of w*-w compact operators in the space $L_{w *} (X *, Y)$ of w*-w operators from X* to Y.

Non-regularity for Banach function algebras

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let A be a unital Banach function algebra with character space $Φ_{A}$ . For $x \in Φ_{A}$ , let $M_{x}$ and $J_{x}$ be the ideals of functions vanishing at x and in a neighbourhood of x, respectively. It is shown that the hull of $J_{x}$ is connected, and that if x does not belong to the Shilov boundary of A then the set $y \in Φ_{A} : M_{x} \supseteq J_{y}$ has an infinite connected subset. Various related results are given.

The ideal of p-compact operators: a tensor product approach

Daniel Galicer, Silvia Lassalle, Pablo Turco (2012)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We study the space of p-compact operators, $_{p}$ , using the theory of tensor norms and operator ideals. We prove that $_{p}$ is associated to $/ d_{p}$ , the left injective associate of the Chevet-Saphar tensor norm $d_{p}$ (which is equal to $g_{p^{'}}^{'}$ ). This allows us to relate the theory of p-summing operators to that of p-compact operators. Using the results known for the former class and appropriate hypotheses on E and F we prove that $_{p} (E; F)$ is equal to $_{q} (E; F)$ for a wide range of values of p and q, and show that our results...

Pisier's inequality revisited

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Given a Banach space X, for n ∈ ℕ and p ∈ (1,∞) we investigate the smallest constant ∈ (0,∞) for which every n-tuple of functions f₁,...,fₙ: -1,1ⁿ → X satisfies $\int_{- 1, 1 ⁿ} | | \sum_{j = 1}^{n} \partial_{j} f_{j} {(ε) | |}^{p} d μ (ε) \leq^{p} \int_{- 1, 1 ⁿ} \int_{- 1, 1 ⁿ} | | \sum_{j = 1}^{n} δ_{j} Δ f_{j} (ε) {| |}^{p} d μ (ε) d μ (δ)$ , where μ is the uniform probability measure on the discrete hypercube -1,1ⁿ, and ${\partial_{j}}_{j = 1}^{n}$ and $Δ = \sum_{j = 1}^{n} \partial_{j}$ are the hypercube partial derivatives and the hypercube Laplacian, respectively. Denoting this constant by $ⁿ_{p} (X)$ , we show that $ⁿ_{p} (X) \leq \sum_{k = 1}^{n} 1 / k$ for every Banach space (X,||·||). This extends the classical Pisier inequality, which corresponds to the special...

Let s ∈ ℝ, p ∈ (0,1] and q ∈ [p,∞). It is proved that a sublinear operator T uniquely extends to a bounded sublinear operator from the Triebel-Lizorkin space $Ḟ_{p, q}^{s} (ℝ ⁿ)$ to a quasi-Banach space ℬ if and only if sup ${| | T (a) | |}_{ℬ}$ : a is an infinitely differentiable (p,q,s)-atom of $Ḟ_{p, q}^{s} (ℝ ⁿ)$ < ∞, where the (p,q,s)-atom of $Ḟ_{p, q}^{s} (ℝ ⁿ)$ is as defined by Han, Paluszyński and Weiss.

On Some Properties of Separately Increasing Functions from [0,1]ⁿ into a Banach Space

Artur Michalak (2014)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We say that a function f from [0,1] to a Banach space X is increasing with respect to E ⊂ X* if x* ∘ f is increasing for every x* ∈ E. A function $f : {[0, 1]}^{m} \to X$ is separately increasing if it is increasing in each variable separately. We show that if X is a Banach space that does not contain any isomorphic copy of c₀ or such that X* is separable, then for every separately increasing function $f : {[0, 1]}^{m} \to X$ with respect to any norming subset there exists a separately increasing function $g : {[0, 1]}^{m} \to ℝ$ such that the sets of...

Let be a Banach operator ideal. Based on the notion of -compactness in a Banach space due to Carl and Stephani, we deal with the notion of measure of non–compactness of an operator. We consider a map $χ_{}$ (respectively, $n_{}$ ) acting on the operators of the surjective (respectively, injective) hull of such that $χ_{} (T) = 0$ (respectively, $n_{} (T) = 0$ ) if and only if the operator T is -compact (respectively, injectively -compact). Under certain conditions on the ideal , we prove an equivalence inequality involving...

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

Let $X$ be a Banach space, $ℬ (X)$ the algebra of bounded linear operators on $X$ and $(J, ∥ \cdot ∥_{J})$ an admissible Banach ideal of $ℬ (X)$ . For $T \in ℬ (X)$ , let $L_{J, T}$ and $R_{J, T} \in ℬ (J)$ denote the left and right multiplication defined by $L_{J, T} (A) = T A$ and $R_{J, T} (A) = A T$ , respectively. In this paper, we study the transmission of some concepts related to recurrent operators between $T \in ℬ (X)$ , and their elementary operators $L_{J, T}$ and $R_{J, T}$ . In particular, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for $L_{J, T}$ and $R_{J, T}$ to be sequentially recurrent. Furthermore, we prove that $L_{J, T}$ is recurrent...

Integral equalities for functions of unbounded spectral operators in Banach spaces

Benedetto Silvestri

Similarity:

The work is dedicated to investigating a limiting procedure for extending “local” integral operator equalities to “global” ones in the sense explained below, and to applying it to obtaining generalizations of the Newton-Leibniz formula for operator-valued functions for a wide class of unbounded operators. The integral equalities considered have the form $g (R_{F}) \int f_{x} (R_{F}) d μ (x) = h (R_{F})$ . (1) They involve functions of the kind $X ∋ x \mapsto f_{x} (R_{F}) \in B (F)$ , where X is a general locally compact space, F runs over a suitable class of Banach subspaces...

Let E(X)˜ stand for the order dual of E(X). For u ∈ E⁺ let $D_{u} (= {f \in E (X) : | | f (\cdot) | |}_{X} \leq u)$ stand for the order interval in E(X). For a real Banach space $(Y, | | \cdot | |_{Y})$ a linear operator T: E(X) → Y is said to be order-bounded whenever for each u ∈...

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate Banach space automorphisms $T : ℓ_{\infty} / c ₀ \to ℓ_{\infty} / c ₀$ focusing on the possibility of representing their fragments of the form $T_{B, A} : ℓ_{\infty} (A) / c ₀ (A) \to ℓ_{\infty} (B) / c ₀ (B)$ for A,B ⊆ ℕ infinite by means of linear operators from $ℓ_{\infty} (A)$ into $ℓ_{\infty} (B)$ , infinite A×B-matrices, continuous maps from B* = βB∖B into A*, or bijections from B to A. This leads to the analysis of general bounded linear operators on $ℓ_{\infty} / c ₀$ . We present many examples, introduce and investigate several classes of operators, for some of them we obtain satisfactory representations and for...

In this paper, we define the direct sum ${(⨁_{i = 1}^{n} X_{i})}_{c e s_{p}}$ of Banach spaces X₁,X₂,..., and Xₙ and consider it equipped with the Cesàro p-norm when 1 ≤ p < ∞. We show that ${(⨁_{i = 1}^{n} X_{i})}_{c e s_{p}}$ has the H-property if and only if each $X_{i}$ has the H-property, and ${(⨁_{i = 1}^{n} X_{i})}_{c e s_{p}}$ has the Schur property if and only if each $X_{i}$ has the Schur property. Moreover, we also show that ${(⨁_{i = 1}^{n} X_{i})}_{c e s_{p}}$ is rotund if and only if each $X_{i}$ is rotund.

The paper contains some applications of the notion of $Ł$ sets to several classes of operators on Banach lattices. In particular, we introduce and study the class of order $(L)$ -Dunford-Pettis operators, that is, operators from a Banach space into a Banach lattice whose adjoint maps order bounded subsets to an $(L)$ sets. As a sequence characterization of such operators, we see that an operator $T : X \to E$ from a Banach space into a Banach lattice is order $Ł$ -Dunford-Pettis, if and only if $| T (x_{n}) | \to 0$ for $σ (E, E^{'})$ for every...

Reflexivity and approximate fixed points

Eva Matoušková, Simeon Reich (2003)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

A Banach space X is reflexive if and only if every bounded sequence xₙ in X contains a norm attaining subsequence. This means that it contains a subsequence $x_{n_{k}}$ for which $s u p_{f \in S_{X *}} l i m s u p_{k \to \infty} f (x_{n_{k}})$ is attained at some f in the dual unit sphere $S_{X *}$ . A Banach space X is not reflexive if and only if it contains a normalized sequence xₙ with the property that for every $f \in S_{X *}$ , there exists $g \in S_{X *}$ such that $l i m s u p_{n \to \infty} f (x ₙ) < l i m i n f_{n \to \infty} g (x ₙ)$ . Combining this with a result of Shafrir, we conclude that every infinite-dimensional Banach space contains an unbounded...

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with the isomorphic structure of the Banach space $ℓ_{\infty} / c ₀$ and how it depends on combinatorial tools whose existence is consistent with but not provable from the usual axioms of ZFC. Our main global result is that it is consistent that $ℓ_{\infty} / c ₀$ does not have an orthogonal $ℓ_{\infty}$ -decomposition, that is, it is not of the form $ℓ_{\infty} (X)$ for any Banach space X. The main local result is that it is consistent that $ℓ_{\infty} (c ₀ ())$ does not embed isomorphically into $ℓ_{\infty} / c ₀$ , where is the cardinality of the continuum,...

Denote by any set of cardinality continuum. It is proved that a Banach algebra A with the property that for every collection $a_{α} : α \in \subset A$ there exist α ≠ β ∈ such that $a_{α} \in a_{β} A^{}$ is isomorphic to $⨁_{i = 1}^{r} (ℂ [X] / X^{d_{i}} ℂ [X]) \oplus E$ , where $d ₁, . . ., d_{r} \in ℕ$ , and E is either $X ℂ [X] / X^{d ₀} ℂ [X]$ for some d₀ ∈ ℕ or a 1-dimensional $⨁_{i = 1}^{r} ℂ [X] / X^{d_{i}} ℂ [X]$ -bimodule with trivial right module action. In particular, ℂ is the unique non-zero prime Banach algebra satisfying the above condition.

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

It is well known that the only proper non-trivial norm closed ideal in the algebra L(X) for $X = ℓ_{p}$ (1 ≤ p < ∞) or X = c₀ is the ideal of compact operators. The next natural question is to describe all closed ideals of $L (ℓ_{p} \oplus ℓ_{q})$ for 1 ≤ p,q < ∞, p ≠ q, or equivalently, the closed ideals in $L (ℓ_{p}, ℓ_{q})$ for p < q. This paper shows that for 1 < p < 2 < q < ∞ there are at least four distinct proper closed ideals in $L (ℓ_{p}, ℓ_{q})$ , including one that has not been studied before. The proofs use various methods...

We study the relationship between this concept and the notion of uniformly completely continuous set and give some applications.

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

For Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ , let $K_{w^{*}} (X^{*}, Y)$ denote the space of all $w^{*} - w$ continuous compact operators from $X^{*}$ to $Y$ endowed with the operator norm. A Banach space $X$ has the $w G P$ property if every Grothendieck subset of $X$ is relatively weakly compact. In this paper we study Banach spaces with property $w G P$ . We investigate whether the spaces $K_{w^{*}} (X^{*}, Y)$ and $X \otimes_{ϵ} Y$ have the $w G P$ property, when $X$ and $Y$ have the $w G P$ property.
