Non-trivial derivations on commutative regular algebras.

A. F. Ber, Vladimir I. Chilin, Fyodor A. Sukochev (2006)

Extracta Mathematicae

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a (complete) commutative algebra that is regular in the sense of von Neumann to have a non-zero derivation. In particular, it is shown that there exist non-zero derivations on the algebra L(M) of all measurable operators affiliated with a commutative von Neumann algebra M, whose Boolean algebra of projections is not atomic. Such derivations are not continuous with respect to measure convergence. In the classical setting of the algebra S[0,1] of all...

Non-universal families of separable Banach spaces

Ondřej Kurka (2016)

Studia Mathematica

We prove that if 𝓒 is a family of separable Banach spaces which is analytic with respect to the Effros Borel structure and no X ∈ 𝓒 is isometrically universal for all separable Banach spaces, then there exists a separable Banach space with a monotone Schauder basis which is isometrically universal for 𝓒 but not for all separable Banach spaces. We also establish an analogous result for the class of strictly convex spaces.

Norm attaining and numerical radius attaining operators.

María D. Acosta, Rafael Payá (1989)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

In this note we discuss some results on numerical radius attaining operators paralleling earlier results on norm attaining operators. For arbitrary Banach spaces X and Y, the set of (bounded, linear) operators from X to Y whose adjoints attain their norms is norm-dense in the space of all operators. This theorem, due to W. Zizler, improves an earlier result by J. Lindenstrauss on the denseness of operators whose second adjoints attain their norms, and is also related to a recent result by C. Stegall...

Norm attaining bilinear forms on C*-algebras

J. Alaminos, R. Payá, A. R. Villena (2003)

Studia Mathematica

We give a sufficient condition on a C*-algebra to ensure that every weakly compact operator into an arbitrary Banach space can be approximated by norm attaining operators and that every continuous bilinear form can be approximated by norm attaining bilinear forms. Moreover we prove that the class of C*-algebras satisfying this condition includes the group C*-algebras of compact groups.

Norm attaining multilinear forms and polynomials on preduals of Lorentz sequence spaces

M. Jimenéz Sevilla, Rafael Payá (1998)

Studia Mathematica

For each natural number N, we give an example of a Banach space X such that the set of norm attaining N-linear forms is dense in the space of all continuous N-linear forms on X, but there are continuous (N+1)-linear forms on X which cannot be approximated by norm attaining (N+1)-linear forms. Actually,X is the canonical predual of a suitable Lorentz sequence space. We also get the analogous result for homogeneous polynomials.

Norm attaining operators versus bilinear forms.

Rafael Payá (1997)

Extracta Mathematicae

The well known Bishop-Phelps Theorem asserts that the set of norm attaining linear forms on a Banach space is dense in the dual space [3]. This note is an outline of recent results by Y. S. Choi [5] and C. Finet and the author [7], which clarify the relation between two different ways of extending this theorem.
