Stable probability measures on Banach spaces
We show that a Banach space X has the stochastic approximation property iff it has the stochasic basis property, and these properties are equivalent to the approximation property if X has nontrivial type. If for every Radon probability on X, there is an operator from an space into X whose range has probability one, then X is a quotient of an space. This extends a theorem of Sato’s which dealt with the case p = 2. In any infinite-dimensional Banach space X there is a compact set K so that for...
We study strict u-ideals in Banach spaces. A Banach space X is a strict u-ideal in its bidual when the canonical decomposition is unconditional. We characterize Banach spaces which are strict u-ideals in their bidual and show that if X is a strict u-ideal in a Banach space Y then X contains c₀. We also show that is not a u-ideal.
In any dual space X*, the set QP of quasi-polyhedral points is contained in the set SSD of points of strong subdifferentiability of the norm which is itself contained in the set NA of norm attaining functionals. We show that NA and SSD coincide if and only if every proximinal hyperplane of X is strongly proximinal, and that if QP and NA coincide then every finite codimensional proximinal subspace of X is strongly proximinal. Natural examples and applications are provided.
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.
A criterion for strongly exposed points of the unit ball in Musielak-Orlicz sequence spaces equipped with Orlicz norm is given.
We characterize strongly proximinal subspaces of finite codimension in C(K) spaces. We give two applications of our results. First, we show that the metric projection on a strongly proximinal subspace of finite codimension in C(K) is Hausdorff metric continuous. Second, strong proximinality is a transitive relation for finite-codimensional subspaces of C(K).
