A classification of ideals in crossed products.
A positive operator A and a closed subspace of a Hilbert space ℋ are called compatible if there exists a projector Q onto such that AQ = Q*A. Compatibility is shown to depend on the existence of certain decompositions of ℋ and the ranges of A and . It also depends on a certain angle between A() and the orthogonal of .
When the set of closed subspaces of C(Δ), where Δ is the Cantor set, is equipped with the standard Effros-Borel structure, the graph of the basic relations between Banach spaces (isomorphism, being isomorphic to a subspace, quotient, direct sum,...) is analytic non-Borel. Many natural families of Banach spaces (such as reflexive spaces, spaces not containing ℓ₁(ω),...) are coanalytic non-Borel. Some natural ranks (rank of embedding, Szlenk indices) are shown to be coanalytic ranks. Applications...
Let M be a finite von Neumann algebra acting on the standard Hilbert space L²(M). We look at the space of those bounded operators on L²(M) that are compact as operators from M into L²(M). The case where M is the free group factor is particularly interesting.
It is shown that if 𝓢 is a commuting family of weak* continuous nonexpansive mappings acting on a weak* compact convex subset C of the dual Banach space E, then the set of common fixed points of 𝓢 is a nonempty nonexpansive retract of C. This partially solves an open problem in metric fixed point theory in the case of commutative semigroups.
We give an extension of the commutator theorems of Jawerth, Rochberg and Weiss [9] for the real method of interpolation. The results are motivated by recent work by Iwaniek and Sbordone [6] on generalized Hodge decompositions. The main estimates of these authors are based on a commutator theorem for a specific operator acting on Lp spaces and through the use of the complex method of interpolation. In this note we give an extension of the Iwaniek-Sbordone theorem to general real interpolation scales....
We give an example of a compact set K ⊂ [0, 1] such that the space ℇ(K) of Whitney functions is isomorphic to the space s of rapidly decreasing sequences, and hence there exists a linear continuous extension operator . At the same time, Markov’s inequality is not satisfied for certain polynomials on K.
We compare the yields of two methods to obtain Bernstein type pointwise estimates for the derivative of a multivariate polynomial in a domain where the polynomial is assumed to have sup norm at most 1. One method, due to Sarantopoulos, relies on inscribing ellipses in a convex domain K. The other, pluripotential-theoretic approach, mainly due to Baran, works for even more general sets, and uses the pluricomplex Green function (the Zaharjuta-Siciak extremal function). When the inscribed ellipse method...
