Small operators between Banach and Hilbert spaces
In this note, we investigate non-locally-convex topological vector spaces for which the closed graph theorem holds. In doing so, we introduce new classes of topological vector spaces. Our study includes a direct extension of Pták duality to the non-locally-convex situation.
We prove that every bounded, uniformly separated sequence in a normed space contains a “uniformly independent” subsequence (see definition); the constants involved do not depend on the sequence or the space. The finite version of this result is true for all quasinormed spaces. We give a counterexample to the infinite version in for each 0 < p < 1. Some consequences for nonstandard topological vector spaces are derived.
Let X be a quasi-Banach space. We prove that there exists K > 0 such that for every function w:ℝ → X satisfying ||w(s+t)-w(s)-w(t)|| ≤ ε(|s|+|t|) for s,t ∈ ℝ, there exists a unique additive function a:ℝ → X such that a(1)=0 and ||w(s)-a(s)-sθ(log₂|s|)|| ≤ Kε|s| for s ∈ ℝ, where θ: ℝ → X is defined by for k ∈ ℤ and extended in a piecewise linear way over the rest of ℝ.
A reflexive topological group is called strongly reflexive if each closed subgroup and each Hausdorff quotient of the group and of its dual group is reflexive. In this paper we establish an adequate concept of strong reflexivity for convergence groups. We prove that complete metrizable nuclear groups and products of countably many locally compact topological groups are BB-strongly reflexive.
