Unconditional bases and the Radon-Nikodym property
We prove that a biorthogonal wavelet basis yields an unconditional basis in all spaces with 1 < p < ∞, provided the biorthogonal wavelet set functions satisfy weak decay conditions. The biorthogonal wavelet set is associated with an arbitrary dilation matrix in any dimension.
We show that a Banach space with separable dual can be renormed to satisfy hereditarily an “almost” optimal uniform smoothness condition. The optimal condition occurs when the canonical decomposition is unconditional. Motivated by this result, we define a subspace X of a Banach space Y to be an h-ideal (resp. a u-ideal) if there is an hermitian projection P (resp. a projection P with ∥I-2P∥ = 1) on Y* with kernel . We undertake a general study of h-ideals and u-ideals. For example we show that...
Let be a Banach space. We give characterizations of when is a -ideal in for every Banach space in terms of nets of finite rank operators approximating weakly compact operators. Similar characterizations are given for the cases when is a -ideal in for every Banach space , when is a -ideal in for every Banach space , and when is a -ideal in for every Banach space .
Let χ(m,n) be the unconditional basis constant of the monomial basis , α ∈ ℕ₀ⁿ with |α| = m, of the Banach space of all m-homogeneous polynomials in n complex variables, endowed with the supremum norm on the n-dimensional unit polydisc ⁿ. We prove that the quotient of and √(n/log n) tends to 1 as n → ∞. This reflects a quite precise dependence of χ(m,n) on the degree m of the polynomials and their number n of variables. Moreover, we give an analogous formula for m-linear forms, a reformulation...
Our aim is to introduce a new notion of unconditionallity, in the context of polynomials in Banach spaces, that looks directly to the polynomial topology defined on the involved spaces. This notion allows us to generalize some well-known relations of duality that appear in the linear context.
We investigate sequences and operators via the unconditionally p-summable sequences. We characterize the unconditionally p-null sequences in terms of a certain tensor product and then prove that, for every 1 ≤ p < ∞, a subset of a Banach space is relatively unconditionally p-compact if and only if it is contained in the closed convex hull of an unconditionally p-null sequence.
Let X be a Banach space. We study the circumstances under which there exists an uncountable set 𝓐 ⊂ X of unit vectors such that ||x-y|| > 1 for any distinct x,y ∈ 𝓐. We prove that such a set exists if X is quasi-reflexive and non-separable; if X is additionally super-reflexive then one can have ||x-y|| ≥ slant 1 + ε for some ε > 0 that depends only on X. If K is a non-metrisable compact, Hausdorff space, then the unit sphere of X = C(K) also contains such a subset; if moreover K is perfectly...
Soit un espace et soit un sous-espace réflexif de dimension infinie de . Nous montrons que le quotient vérifie le théorème de Grothendieck, c’est-à-dire que tout opérateur de dans un espace de Hilbert est 1-sommant; par ailleurs, n’est pas un espace . Cela permet de répondre négativement à une question de Lindenstrauss-Pełczyński ainsi qu’à une question similaire de Grothendieck.
