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 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 X with respect to any norming subset there exists a separately increasing function g : [ 0 , 1 ] m such that the sets of...

-sums and the Banach space / c

Christina Brech, Piotr Koszmider (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with the isomorphic structure of the Banach space / c 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 / c does not have an orthogonal -decomposition, that is, it is not of the form ( X ) for any Banach space X. The main local result is that it is consistent that ( c ( ) ) does not embed isomorphically into / c , where is the cardinality of the continuum,...

Pisier's inequality revisited

Tuomas Hytönen, Assaf Naor (2013)

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 - 1 , 1 | | j = 1 n j f j ( ε ) | | p d μ ( ε ) p - 1 , 1 - 1 , 1 | | 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 j j = 1 n and Δ = j = 1 n j are the hypercube partial derivatives and the hypercube Laplacian, respectively. Denoting this constant by p ( X ) , we show that p ( X ) k = 1 n 1 / k for every Banach space (X,||·||). This extends the classical Pisier inequality, which corresponds to the special...

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 S X * l i m s u p k 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 S X * , there exists g S X * such that l i m s u p n f ( x ) < l i m i n f n g ( x ) . Combining this with a result of Shafrir, we conclude that every infinite-dimensional Banach space contains an unbounded...

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

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.

Studia Mathematica

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 ) / 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...

Geometric structure of Cesàro function spaces C e s p ( I ) , where I = [0,1] and [0,∞), is investigated. Among other matters we present a description of their dual spaces, characterize the sets of all q ∈ [1,∞] such that C e s p [ 0 , 1 ] contains isomorphic and complemented copies of l q -spaces, show that Cesàro function spaces fail the fixed point property, give a description of subspaces generated by Rademacher functions in spaces C e s p [ 0 , 1 ] .

Let β ( n ) n = 0 be a sequence of positive numbers and 1 ≤ p < ∞. We consider the space p ( β ) of all power series f ( z ) = n = 0 f ̂ ( n ) z such that n = 0 | f ̂ ( n ) | p | β ( n ) | p < . We give some sufficient conditions for the multiplication operator, M z , to be unicellular on the Banach space p ( β ) . This generalizes the main results obtained by Lu Fang [1].

The weak Gelfand-Phillips property in spaces of compact operators

Ioana Ghenciu (2017)

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 ϵ Y have the w G P property, when X and Y have the w G P property.

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 A there exist α ≠ β ∈ such that a α a β A is isomorphic to i = 1 r ( [ X ] / X d i [ X ] ) E , where d , . . . , d r , and E is either X [ X ] / X d [ X ] for some d₀ ∈ ℕ or a 1-dimensional i = 1 r [ X ] / X d i [ X ] -bimodule with trivial right module action. In particular, ℂ is the unique non-zero prime Banach algebra satisfying the above condition.

There exists a universal control sequence p ̅ ( m ) m = 1 of increasing positive integers such that: Every infinite-dimensional separable Banach space X has a biorthogonal system xₙ,xₙ* with ||xₙ|| = 1 and ||xₙ*|| < K for each n such that, for each x ∈ X, x = n = 1 x π ( n ) * ( x ) x π ( n ) where π(n) is a permutation of n which depends on x but is uniformly controlled by p ̅ ( m ) m = 1 , that is, n n = 1 m π ( n ) n = 1 p ̅ ( m ) n n = 1 p ̅ ( m + 1 ) for each m.

On biorthogonal systems whose functionals are finitely supported

We show that for each natural number n > 1, it is consistent that there is a compact Hausdorff totally disconnected space K 2 n such that C ( K 2 n ) has no uncountable (semi)biorthogonal sequence ( f ξ , μ ξ ) ξ ω where μ ξ ’s are atomic measures with supports consisting of at most 2n-1 points of K 2 n , but has biorthogonal systems ( f ξ , μ ξ ) ξ ω where μ ξ ’s are atomic measures with supports consisting of 2n points. This complements a result of Todorcevic which implies that it is consistent that such spaces do not exist: he proves...

Denseness and Borel complexity of some sets of vector measures

Zbigniew Lipecki (2004)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let ν be a positive measure on a σ-algebra Σ of subsets of some set and let X be a Banach space. Denote by ca(Σ,X) the Banach space of X-valued measures on Σ, equipped with the uniform norm, and by ca(Σ,ν,X) its closed subspace consisting of those measures which vanish at every ν-null set. We are concerned with the subsets ν ( X ) and ν ( X ) of ca(Σ,X) defined by the conditions |φ| = ν and |φ| ≥ ν, respectively, where |φ| stands for the variation of φ ∈ ca(Σ,X). We establish necessary and sufficient...

Rosenthal operator spaces

M. Junge, N. J. Nielsen, T. Oikhberg (2008)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

In 1969 Lindenstrauss and Rosenthal showed that if a Banach space is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of an L p -space, then it is either an L p -space or isomorphic to a Hilbert space. This is the motivation of this paper where we study non-Hilbertian complemented operator subspaces of non-commutative L p -spaces and show that this class is much richer than in the commutative case. We investigate the local properties of some new classes of operator spaces for every 2 < p < ∞ which...

Modifications of the double arrow space and related Banach spaces C(K)

Witold Marciszewski (2008)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We consider the class of compact spaces K A which are modifications of the well known double arrow space. The space K A is obtained from a closed subset K of the unit interval [0,1] by “splitting” points from a subset A ⊂ K. The class of all such spaces coincides with the class of separable linearly ordered compact spaces. We prove some results on the topological classification of K A spaces and on the isomorphic classification of the Banach spaces C ( K A ) .

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We present an extension of the classical isomorphic classification of the Banach spaces C([0,α]) of all real continuous functions defined on the nondenumerable intervals of ordinals [0,α]. As an application, we establish the isomorphic classification of the Banach spaces C ( 2 × [ 0 , α ] ) of all real continuous functions defined on the compact spaces 2 × [ 0 , α ] , the topological product of the Cantor cubes 2 with smaller than the first sequential cardinal, and intervals of ordinal numbers [0,α]. Consequently,...

Operator Figà-Talamanca-Herz algebras

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let G be a locally compact group. We use the canonical operator space structure on the spaces L p ( G ) for p ∈ [1,∞] introduced by G. Pisier to define operator space analogues O A p ( G ) of the classical Figà-Talamanca-Herz algebras A p ( G ) . If p ∈ (1,∞) is arbitrary, then A p ( G ) O A p ( G ) and the inclusion is a contraction; if p = 2, then OA₂(G) ≅ A(G) as Banach spaces, but not necessarily as operator spaces. We show that O A p ( G ) is a completely contractive Banach algebra for each p ∈ (1,∞), and that O A q ( G ) O A p ( G ) completely contractively...

Three-space problems for the approximation property

A. Szankowski (2009)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

It is shown that there is a subspace Z q of q for 1 < q < 2 which is isomorphic to q such that q / Z q does not have the approximation property. On the other hand, for 2 < p < there is a subspace Y p of p such that Y p does not have the approximation property (AP) but the quotient space p / Y p is isomorphic to p . The result is obtained by defining random “Enflo-Davie spaces” Y p which with full probability fail AP for all 2 < p and have AP for all 1 p 2 . For 1 < p 2 , Y p are isomorphic to p .

Essentially Incomparable Banach Spaces of Continuous Functions

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 ) .

Adam Bartoš (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

A subset of a product of topological spaces is called n -thin if every its two distinct points differ in at least n coordinates. We generalize a construction of Gruenhage, Natkaniec, and Piotrowski, and obtain, under CH, a countable T 3 space X without isolated points such that X n contains an n -thin dense subset, but X n + 1 does not contain any n -thin dense subset. We also observe that part of the construction can be carried out under MA.

A topological space (T,τ) is said to be fragmented by a metric d on T if each non-empty subset of T has non-empty relatively open subsets of arbitrarily small d-diameter.

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 ( ω ω ) are examples of weakly compactly generated (WCG) Banach spaces which are Lipschitz isomorphic but not isomorphic.

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

Let X be a zero-dimensional space and C c ( X ) be the set of all continuous real valued functions on X with countable image. In this article we denote by C c K ( X ) (resp., C c ψ ( X ) ) the set of all functions in C c ( X ) with compact (resp., pseudocompact) support. First, we observe that C c K ( X ) = O c β 0 X X (resp., C c ψ ( X ) = M c β 0 X υ 0 X ), where β 0 X is the Banaschewski compactification of X and υ 0 X is the -compactification of X .
