On the Mazur-Orlicz theorem
The spatial numerical range for a class of operators on locally convex space was studied by Giles, Joseph, Koehler and Sims in [3]. The purpose of this paper is to consider some additional properties of the numerical range on locally convex and especially on -locally convex spaces.
A new drop property, the quasi-weak drop property, is introduced. Using streaming sequences introduced by Rolewicz, a characterisation of the quasi-weak drop property is given for closed bounded convex sets in a Fréchet space. From this, it is shown that the quasi-weak drop property is equivalent to weak compactness. Thus a Fréchet space is reflexive if and only if every closed bounded convex set in the space has the quasi-weak drop property.
It is shown that every uncountable symmetric basic set in an F-space with a symmetric basis is equivalent to a basic set generated by one vector. We apply this result to investigate the structure of uncountable symmetric basic sets in Orlicz and Lorentz spaces.
In this note we prove that there exists a Carathéodory vector lattice such that and . This yields that is a solution of the Schröder-Bernstein problem for Carathéodory vector lattices. We also show that no Carathéodory Banach lattice is a solution of the Schröder-Bernstein problem.
