By using the concepts of limited $p$-converging operators between two Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, $L_p$-sets and $L_p$-limited sets in Banach spaces, we obtain some characterizations of these concepts relative to some well-known geometric properties of Banach spaces, such as $*$-Dunford–Pettis property of order $p$ and Pelczyński’s property of order $p$, $1\le p<\infty$.

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

We study weakly precompact sets and operators. We show that an operator is weakly precompact if and only if its adjoint is pseudo weakly compact. We study Banach spaces with the $p$-$L$-limited${}^{*}$ and the $p$-(SR${}^{*}$) properties and characterize these classes of Banach spaces in terms of $p$-$L$-limited${}^{*}$ and $p$-Right${}^{*}$ subsets. The $p$-$L$-limited${}^{*}$ property is studied in some spaces of operators.

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 $wGP$ property if every Grothendieck subset of $X$ is relatively weakly compact. In this paper we study Banach spaces with property $wGP$. We investigate whether the spaces $K_{w^{*}}(X^{*},Y)$ and $X{\otimes }_{ϵ}Y$ have the $wGP$ property, when $X$ and $Y$ have the $wGP$ property.

This paper is concerned with the isomorphic structure of the Banach space ${\ell }_{\infty }/c₀$ 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 ${\ell }_{\infty }/c₀$ does not have an orthogonal ${\ell }_{\infty }$-decomposition, that is, it is not of the form ${\ell }_{\infty }\left(X\right)$ for any Banach space X. The main local result is that it is consistent that ${\ell }_{\infty }\left(c₀\left(\right)\right)$ does not embed isomorphically into ${\ell }_{\infty }/c₀$, where is the cardinality of the continuum,...

Let G be a locally compact group. We use the canonical operator space structure on the spaces $L^p\left(G\right)$ for p ∈ [1,∞] introduced by G. Pisier to define operator space analogues $O{A}_p\left(G\right)$ of the classical Figà-Talamanca-Herz algebras $A_p\left(G\right)$. If p ∈ (1,∞) is arbitrary, then $A_p\left(G\right)\subset O{A}_p\left(G\right)$ 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 $O{A}_p\left(G\right)$ is a completely contractive Banach algebra for each p ∈ (1,∞), and that $O{A}_q\left(G\right)\subset O{A}_p\left(G\right)$ completely contractively...

For the integral equation (1) below we prove the existence on an interval $J=[0,a]$ of a solution $x$ with values in a Banach space $E$, belonging to the class $L^p(J,E)$, $p>1$. Further, the set of solutions is shown to be a compact one in the sense of Aronszajn.

A Banach space $X$ has the reciprocal Dunford-Pettis property ($RDPP$) if every completely continuous operator $T$ from $X$ to any Banach space $Y$ is weakly compact. A Banach space $X$ has the $RDPP$ (resp. property $\left(wL\right)$) if every $L$-subset of $X^{*}$ is relatively weakly compact (resp. weakly precompact). We prove that the projective tensor product $X\otimes {}_{\pi }Y$ has property $\left(wL\right)$ when $X$ has the $RDPP$, $Y$ has property $\left(wL\right)$, and $L(X,Y^{*})=K(X,Y^{*})$.

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 ${\int }_{-1,1ⁿ}\left|\right|{\sum }_{j=1}^n{\partial }_j{f}_j{\left(\epsilon \right)\left|\right|}^{p}d\mu \left(\epsilon \right){\le }^p{\int }_{-1,1ⁿ}{\int }_{-1,1ⁿ}\left|\right|{\sum }_{j=1}^n{\delta }_j\Delta f_j\left(\epsilon \right){\left|\right|}^{p}d\mu \left(\epsilon \right)d\mu \left(\delta \right)$, where μ is the uniform probability measure on the discrete hypercube -1,1ⁿ, and ${{\partial }_j}_{j=1}^n$ and $\Delta ={\sum }_{j=1}^n{\partial }_j$ are the hypercube partial derivatives and the hypercube Laplacian, respectively. Denoting this constant by ${ⁿ}_p\left(X\right)$, we show that ${ⁿ}_p\left(X\right)\le {\sum }_{k=1}^{n}1/k$ for every Banach space (X,||·||). This extends the classical Pisier inequality, which corresponds to the special...

We introduce and study two new classes of Banach spaces, the so-called sequentially Right Banach spaces of order $p$, and those defined by the dual property, the sequentially Right${}^{*}$ Banach spaces of order $p$ for $1\le p\le \infty$. These classes of Banach spaces are characterized by the notions of $L_p$-limited sets in the corresponding dual space and $R_p^{*}$ subsets of the involved Banach space, respectively. In particular, we investigate whether the injective tensor product of a Banach space $X$ and a reflexive Banach...

Suppose $A$ is a separable unital $𝒞\left(X\right)$-algebra each fibre of which is isomorphic to the same strongly self-absorbing and $K_1$-injective $C^{*}$-algebra $𝒟$. We show that $A$ and $𝒞\left(X\right)\otimes 𝒟$ are isomorphic as $𝒞\left(X\right)$-algebras provided the compact Hausdorff space $X$ is finite-dimensional. This statement is known not to extend to the infinite-dimensional case.

We take another approach to the well known theorem of Korovkin, in the following situation: X, Y are compact Hausdorff spaces, M is a unital subspace of the Banach space C(X) (respectively, $C_{ℝ}\left(X\right)$) of all complex-valued (resp., real-valued) continuous functions on X, S ⊂ M a complex (resp., real) function space on X, ϕₙ a sequence of unital linear contractions from M into C(Y) (resp., $C_{ℝ}\left(Y\right)$), and ${\varphi }_{\infty }$ a linear isometry from M into C(Y) (resp., $C_{ℝ}\left(Y\right)$). We show, under the assumption that ${\Pi }_N\subset {\Pi }_T$, where ${\Pi }_N$ is...

Let A be a unital Banach function algebra with character space ${\Phi }_A$. For $x\in {\Phi }_A$, 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 $y\in {\Phi }_A:M_x\supseteq J_y$ has an infinite connected subset. Various related results are given.

For a Banach space $E$ and a probability space $(X,𝒜,\lambda )$, a new proof is given that a measure $\mu :𝒜\to E$, with $\mu \ll \lambda$, has RN derivative with respect to $\lambda$ iff there is a compact or a weakly compact $C\subset E$ such that ${\left|\mu \right|}_C:𝒜\to [0,\infty ]$ is a finite valued countably additive measure. Here we define ${\left|\mu \right|}_C\left(A\right)=sup\{{\sum }_k|\langle \mu \left(A_k\right),f_k\rangle \left|\right\}$ where $\left\{A_k\right\}$ is a finite disjoint collection of elements from $𝒜$, each contained in $A$, and $\left\{f_k\right\}\subset E^{\text{'}}$ satisfies ${sup}_k\left|f_k\left(C\right)\right|\le 1$. Then the result is extended to the case when $E$ is a Frechet space.

Let $X$ be a Banach space, $ℬ\left(X\right)$ the algebra of bounded linear operators on $X$ and $(J,\parallel ·{\parallel }_J)$ an admissible Banach ideal of $ℬ\left(X\right)$. For $T\in ℬ\left(X\right)$, let $L_{J,T}$ and $R_{J,T}\in ℬ\left(J\right)$ denote the left and right multiplication defined by $L_{J,T}\left(A\right)=TA$ and $R_{J,T}\left(A\right)=AT$, respectively. In this paper, we study the transmission of some concepts related to recurrent operators between $T\in ℬ\left(X\right)$, 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...

Equivalent formulations of the Dunford-Pettis property of order $p$ (${DPP}_p$), $1<p<\infty$, are studied. Let $L(X,Y)$, $W(X,Y)$, $K(X,Y)$, $U(X,Y)$, and $C_p(X,Y)$ denote respectively the sets of all bounded linear, weakly compact, compact, unconditionally converging, and $p$-convergent operators from $X$ to $Y$. Classical results of Kalton are used to study the complementability of the spaces $W(X,Y)$ and $K(X,Y)$ in the space $C_p(X,Y)$, and of $C_p(X,Y)$ in $U(X,Y)$ and $L(X,Y)$.
