Separable reduction theorems by the method of elementary submodels

Marek Cúth (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We simplify the presentation of the method of elementary submodels and we show that it can be used to simplify proofs of existing separable reduction theorems and to obtain new ones. Given a nonseparable Banach space X and either a subset A ⊂ X or a function f defined on X, we are able for certain properties to produce a separable subspace of X which determines whether A or f has the property in question. Such results are proved for properties of sets: of being dense, nowhere dense, meager, residual...

Sequential closedness of Boolean algebras of projections in Banach spaces

D. H. Fremlin, B. de Pagter, W. J. Ricker (2005)

Studia Mathematica

Complete and σ-complete Boolean algebras of projections acting in a Banach space were introduced by W. Bade in the 1950's. A basic fact is that every complete Boolean algebra of projections is necessarily a closed set for the strong operator topology. Here we address the analogous question for σ-complete Boolean algebras: are they always a sequentially closed set for the strong operator topology? For the atomic case the answer is shown to be affirmative. For the general case, we develop criteria...

Smoothness in Banach spaces. Selected problems.

Marian Fabian, Vicente Montesinos, Václav Zizler (2006)

RACSAM

This is a short survey on some recent as well as classical results and open problems in smoothness and renormings of Banach spaces. Applications in general topology and nonlinear analysis are considered. A few new results and new proofs are included. An effort has been made that a young researcher may enjoy going through it without any special pre-requisites and get a feeling about this area of Banach space theory. Many open problems of different level of difficulty are discussed. For the reader...

Some examples of continuous images of Radon-Nikodým compact spaces

Alexander D. Arvanitakis, Antonio Avilés (2009)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We provide a characterization of continuous images of Radon-Nikodým compacta lying in a product of real lines and model on it a method for constructing natural examples of such continuous images.

Some remarks on Radon-Nikodym compact spaces

Alexander D. Arvanitakis (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The class of quasi Radon-Nikodým compact spaces is introduced. We prove that this class is closed under countable products and continuous images. It includes the Radon-Nikodým compact spaces. Adapting Alster's proof we show that every quasi Radon-Nikodým and Corson compact space is Eberlein. This generalizes earlier results by J. Orihuela, W. Schachermayer, M. Valdivia and C. Stegall. Further the class of almost totally disconnected spaces is defined and it is shown that every quasi Radon-Nikodým...

Some remarks on universality properties of / c

Mikołaj Krupski, Witold Marciszewski (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We prove that if is not a Kunen cardinal, then there is a uniform Eberlein compact space K such that the Banach space C(K) does not embed isometrically into / c . We prove a similar result for isomorphic embeddings. Our arguments are minor modifications of the proofs of analogous results for Corson compacta obtained by S. Todorčević. We also construct a consistent example of a uniform Eberlein compactum whose space of continuous functions embeds isomorphically into / c , but fails to embed isometrically....

Strong subdifferentiability of norms and geometry of Banach spaces

Gilles Godefroy, Vicente Montesinos, Václav Zizler (1995)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The strong subdifferentiability of norms (i.eȯne-sided differentiability uniform in directions) is studied in connection with some structural properties of Banach spaces. It is shown that every separable Banach space with nonseparable dual admits a norm that is nowhere strongly subdifferentiable except at the origin. On the other hand, every Banach space with a strongly subdifferentiable norm is Asplund.
