Characterizing wirkfelder of certain classes of summability methods.
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 apply the Chebyshev coefficients λf and λb, recently introduced by the authors, to obtain some results related to certain geometric properties of Banach spaces. We prove that a real normed space E is an L1-predual if and only if λf(E) = 1/2, and that if a (real or complex) normed space E is a P1 space, then λb(E) equals λb(K), where K is the ground field of E.
We prove a Chevet type inequality which gives an upper bound for the norm of an isotropic log-concave unconditional random matrix in terms of the expectation of the supremum of “symmetric exponential” processes, compared to the Gaussian ones in the Chevet inequality. This is used to give a sharp upper estimate for a quantity that controls uniformly the Euclidean operator norm of the submatrices with k rows and m columns of an isotropic log-concave unconditional random matrix. We apply these estimates...
Węglorz' models are models for set theory without the axiom of choice. Each one is determined by an atomic Boolean algebra. Here the algebraic properties of the Boolean algebra are compared to the set theoretic properties of the model.
We construct a Choquet simplex whose set of extreme points is -analytic, but is not a -Borel set. The set has the surprising property of being a set in its Stone-Cech compactification. It is hence an example of a set that is not absolute.
