We investigate the reflexivity of the isometry group and the automorphism group of some important metric linear spaces and a1gebras. The paper consists of the following sections: 1. Preliminaries. 2. Sequence spaces. 3. Spaces of measurable functions. Hardy spaces. 5. Banach algebras of holomorphic functions. 6. Fréchet algebras of holomorphic functions. 7. Spaces of continuous functions.
We provide for every 2 ≤ k ≤ n an n-dimensional Banach space E with a unique distance ellipsoid such that there are precisely k linearly independent contact points between and . The corresponding result holds for spaces with non-unique distance ellipsoids as well. We construct n-dimensional Banach spaces E such that one distance ellipsoid has precisely k linearly independent contact points and all other distance ellipsoids have less than k-1 such points.
We investigate rich subspaces of L₁ and deduce an interpolation property of Sidon sets. We also present examples of rich separable subspaces of nonseparable Banach spaces and we study the Daugavet property of tensor products.
The aim of this paper is to derive some relationships between the concepts of the property of strong introduced recently by Hong-Kun Xu and the so-called characteristic of near convexity defined by Goebel and Sȩkowski. Particularly we provide very simple proof of a result obtained by Hong-Kun Xu.
In the paper [5] L. Drewnowski and the author proved that if is a Banach space containing a copy of then is not complemented in and conjectured that the same result is true if is any Banach space without the Radon-Nikodym property. Recently, F. Freniche and L. Rodriguez-Piazza ([7]) disproved this conjecture, by showing that if is a finite measure and is a Banach lattice not containing copies of , then is complemented in . Here, we show that the complementability of in together...
In this paper we give estimations of Istratescu measure of noncompactness I(X) of a set X C lp(E1,...,En) in terms of measures I(Xj) (j=1,...,n) of projections Xj of X on Ej. Also a converse problem of finding a set X for which the measure I(X) satisfies the estimations under consideration is considered.
This note is to report some of the advances obtained as a follow-up of the book [2] on the topic of twisted sums of Banach spaces. Since this announcement is no longer enough to contain the theory being developed, we submit the interested reader to [2] and to [1], where full details and proofs shall appear.
It is proved that a representable non-separable Banach space does not admit uniformly Gâteaux-smooth norms. This is true in particular for C(K) spaces where K is a separable non-metrizable Rosenthal compact space.
