We study Banach space properties of non-commutative martingale VMO-spaces associated with general von Neumann algebras. More precisely, we obtain a version of the classical Kadets-Pełczyński dichotomy theorem for subspaces of non-commutative martingale VMO-spaces. As application we prove that if ℳ is hyperfinite then the non-commutative martingale VMO-space associated with a filtration of finite-dimensional von Neumannn subalgebras of ℳ has property (u).
A Banach space which is a Cech-analytic space in its weak topology has fourteen measure-theoretic, geometric and topological properties. In a dual Banach space with its weak-star topology essentially the same properties are all equivalent one to another.
We introduce new concepts of numerical range and numerical radius of one operator with respect to another one, which generalize in a natural way the known concepts of numerical range and numerical radius. We study basic properties of these new concepts and present some examples.
