Some remarks on ultrapowers and superproperties of the sum and interpolation spaces of Banach spaces
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 . 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 , but fails to embed isometrically....
In order to study the absolute summability of an operator T we consider the set ST = {{xn} | ∑||Txn|| < ∞}. It is well known that an operator T in a Hilbert space is nuclear if and only if ST contains an orthonormal basis and it is natural to ask under which conditions two orthonormal basis define the same left ideal of nuclear operators. Using results about ST we solve this problem in the more general context of Banach spaces.
Some results are presented, concerning a class of Banach spaces introduced by G. Godefroy and M. Talagrand, the representable Banach spaces. The main aspects considered here are the stability in forming tensor products, and the topological properties of the weak* dual unitball.
We characterize the norm attaining bilinear forms on L1[0,1], and show that the set of norm attaining ones is not dense in the space of continuous bilinear forms on L1[0,1].
We establish some properties of the class of order weakly compact operators on Banach lattices. As consequences, we obtain some characterizations of Banach lattices with order continuous norms or whose topological duals have order continuous norms.
We present monotonicity theorems for index functions of N-fuctions, and obtain formulas for exact values of packing constants. In particular, we show that the Orlicz sequence space generated by the N-function N(v) = (1+|v|)ln(1+|v|) - |v| with Luxemburg norm has the Kottman constant , which answers M. M. Rao and Z. D. Ren’s [8] problem.
We introduce and study the class of unbounded Dunford--Pettis operators. As consequences, we give basic properties and derive interesting results about the duality, domination problem and relationship with other known classes of operators.
We show that the classes of separable reflexive Banach spaces and of spaces with separable dual are strongly bounded. This gives a new proof of a recent result of E. Odell and Th. Schlumprecht, asserting that there exists a separable reflexive Banach space containing isomorphic copies of every separable uniformly convex Banach space.
We discuss k-rotundity, weak k-rotundity, C-k-rotundity, weak C-k-rotundity, k-nearly uniform convexity, k-β property, C-I property, C-II property, C-III property and nearly uniform convexity both pointwise and global in Orlicz function spaces equipped with Luxemburg norm. Applications to continuity for the metric projection at a given point are given in Orlicz function spaces with Luxemburg norm.
