On Strongly WCG Banach Spaces.
Let X be a Banach space and Y a closed subspace. We obtain simple geometric characterizations of Phelps' property U for Y in X (that every continuous linear functional g ∈ Y* has a unique norm-preserving extension f ∈ X*), which do not use the dual space X*. This enables us to give an intrinsic geometric characterization of preduals of strictly convex spaces close to the Beauzamy-Maurey-Lima-Uttersrud criterion of smoothness. This also enables us to prove that the U-property of the subspace K(E,F)...
This paper mainly concerns the topological nature of uniformly convexifiable sets in general Banach spaces: A sufficient and necessary condition for a bounded closed convex set C of a Banach space X to be uniformly convexifiable (i.e. there exists an equivalent norm on X which is uniformly convex on C) is that the set C is super-weakly compact, which is defined using a generalization of finite representability. The proofs use appropriate versions of classical theorems, such as James' finite tree...
It is proved that a separable normed space contains a closed bounded convex symmetric absorbing supportless subset if and only if this space may be covered (in its completion) by the range of a nonisomorphic operator.
Let X and Y be locally compact Hausdorff spaces, let E and F be Banach spaces, and let T be a linear isometry from C₀(X,E) into C₀(Y,F). We provide three new answers to the Banach-Stone problem: (1) T can always be written as a generalized weighted composition operator if and only if F is strictly convex; (2) if T is onto then T can be written as a weighted composition operator in a weak sense; and (3) if T is onto and F does not contain a copy of then T can be written as a weighted composition...
We study the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property for numerical radius (for short, BPBp-nu) of operators on ℓ₁-sums and -sums of Banach spaces. More precisely, we introduce a property of Banach spaces, which we call strongly lush. We find that if X is strongly lush and X ⊕₁ Y has the weak BPBp-nu, then (X,Y) has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property (BPBp). On the other hand, if Y is strongly lush and has the weak BPBp-nu, then (X,Y) has the BPBp. Examples of strongly lush spaces are C(K) spaces, L₁(μ)...
Recently, Jiménez-Melado et al. [Jiménez-Melado A., Llorens-Fuster E., Mazcuñán-Navarro E.M., The Dunkl-Williams constant, convexity, smoothness and normal structure, J. Math. Anal. Appl., 2008, 342(1), 298–310] defined the Dunkl-Williams constant DW(X) of a normed linear space X. In this paper we present some characterizations of this constant. As an application, we calculate DW(ℓ2-ℓ∞) in the Day-James space ℓ2-ℓ∞.
Let denote a specific space of the class of Banach sequence spaces which were constructed by Hagler and the first named author as classes of hereditarily Banach spaces. We show that for the Banach space contains asymptotically isometric copies of . It is known that any member of the class is a dual space. We show that the predual of contains isometric copies of where . For it is known that the predual of the Banach space contains asymptotically isometric copies of . Here we...
We show that a Banach space X has the compact approximation property if and only if for every Banach space Y and every weakly compact operator T: Y → X, the space = S ∘ T: S compact operator on X is an ideal in = span(,T) if and only if for every Banach space Y and every weakly compact operator T: Y → X, there is a net of compact operators on X such that and in the strong operator topology. Similar results for dual spaces are also proved.
We call a subset S of a topological vector space V linearly Borel if for every finite number n, the set of all linear combinations of S of length n is a Borel subset of V. It is shown that a Hamel basis of an infinite-dimensional Banach space can never be linearly Borel. This answers a question of Anatoliĭ Plichko.
These notes are dedicated to the study of the complexity of several classes of separable Banach spaces. We compute the complexity of the Banach-Saks property, the alternating Banach-Saks property, the complete continuous property, and the LUST property. We also show that the weak Banach-Saks property, the Schur property, the Dunford-Pettis property, the analytic Radon-Nikodym property, the set of Banach spaces whose set of unconditionally converging operators is complemented in its bounded operators,...
