Cebysev subspaces of C*-algebras.
In this note, we prove that a real or complex Banach space is an -predual space if and only if every four-point subset of is centerable. The real case sharpens Rao’s result in [Chebyshev centers and centerable sets, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 130 (2002), no. 9, 2593–2598] and the complex case is closely related to the characterizations of -predual spaces by Lima [Complex Banach spaces whose duals are -spaces, Israel J. Math. 24 (1976), no. 1, 59–72].
Some characterizations of random approximations are obtained in a locally convex space through duality theory.
We give a full characterization of the closed one-codimensional subspaces of , in which every bounded set has a Chebyshev center. It turns out that one can consider equivalently only finite sets (even only three-point sets) in our case, but not in general. Such hyperplanes are exactly those which are either proximinal or norm-one complemented.
We investigate compact operators between approximation spaces, paying special attention to the limit case. Applications are given to embeddings between Besov spaces.
In this paper we give a characterization of the relatively compact subsets of the so-called approximation spaces. We treat some applications: (1) we obtain some convergence results in such spaces, and (2) we establish a condition for relative compactness of a set lying in a Besov space.
We study the Complex Unconditional Metric Approximation Property for translation invariant spaces of continuous functions on the circle group. We show that although some “tiny” (Sidon) sets do not have this property, there are “big” sets Λ for which has (ℂ-UMAP); though these sets are such that contains functions which are not continuous, we show that there is a linear invariant lifting from these spaces into the Baire class 1 functions.
