On three problems from the Scottish Book connected with orthogonal systems
We prove a structural property of the class of unconditionally saturated separable Banach spaces. We show, in particular, that for every analytic set 𝓐, in the Effros-Borel space of subspaces of C[0,1], of unconditionally saturated separable Banach spaces, there exists an unconditionally saturated Banach space Y, with a Schauder basis, that contains isomorphic copies of every space X in the class 𝓐.
Given a vector measure m with values in a Banach space X, a desirable property (when available) of the associated Banach function space L¹(m) of all m-integrable functions is that L¹(m) = L¹(|m|), where |m| is the [0,∞]-valued variation measure of m. Closely connected to m is its X-valued integration map Iₘ: f ↦ ∫f dm for f ∈ L¹(m). Many traditional operators from analysis arise as integration maps in this way. A detailed study is made of the connection between the property L¹(m) = L¹(|m|) and the...
We study the c₀-content of a seminormalized basic sequence (χₙ) in a Banach space, by the use of ordinal indices (taking values up to ω₁) that determine dichotomies at every ordinal stage, based on the Ramsey-type principle for every countable ordinal, obtained earlier by the author. We introduce two such indices, the c₀-index and the semibounded completeness index , and we examine their relationship. The countable ordinal values that these indices can take are always of the form . These results...
Let K be a non-Archimedean valued field which contains Qp, and suppose that K is complete for the valuation |·|, which extends the p-adic valuation. Vq is the closure of the set {aqn | n = 0,1,2,...} where a and q are two units of Zp, q not a root of unity. C(Vq --> K) (resp. C1(Vq --> K)) is the Banach space of continuous functions (resp. continuously differentiable functions) from Vq to K. Our aim is to find orthonormal bases for C(Vq --> K) and C1(Vq --> K).
