A characterization of some weak semi-continuity of integral functionals
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 46B26, 46B03, 46B04.We prove that a Banach space X is weakly Lindelöf determined if (and only if) each non-separable Banach space isomorphic to a complemented subspace of X has a projectional resolution of the identity. This answers a question posed by S. Mercourakis and S. Negrepontis and yields a converse of Amir-Lindenstrauss’ theorem. We also prove that a Banach space of the form C(K) where K is a continuous image of a Valdivia compactum is weakly Lindelöf...
The equivalence of the two following properties is proved for every Banach lattice :1) is weakly sequentially complete.2) Every -Borel measurable linear functional on is -continuous.
We construct a totally disconnected compact Hausdorff space K₊ which has clopen subsets K₊” ⊆ K₊’ ⊆ K₊ such that K₊” is homeomorphic to K₊ and hence C(K₊”) is isometric as a Banach space to C(K₊) but C(K₊’) is not isomorphic to C(K₊). This gives two nonisomorphic Banach spaces (necessarily nonseparable) of the form C(K) which are isomorphic to complemented subspaces of each other (even in the above strong isometric sense), providing a solution to the Schroeder-Bernstein problem for Banach spaces...
Hagler and the first named author introduced a class of hereditarily Banach spaces which do not possess the Schur property. Then the first author extended these spaces to a class of hereditarily Banach spaces for . Here we use these spaces to introduce a new class of hereditarily Banach spaces analogous of the space of Popov. In particular, for the spaces are further examples of hereditarily Banach spaces failing the Schur property.
For every countable ordinal α, we construct an -predual which is isometric to a subspace of and isomorphic to a quotient of . However, is not isomorphic to a subspace of .
When the set of closed subspaces of C(Δ), where Δ is the Cantor set, is equipped with the standard Effros-Borel structure, the graph of the basic relations between Banach spaces (isomorphism, being isomorphic to a subspace, quotient, direct sum,...) is analytic non-Borel. Many natural families of Banach spaces (such as reflexive spaces, spaces not containing ℓ₁(ω),...) are coanalytic non-Borel. Some natural ranks (rank of embedding, Szlenk indices) are shown to be coanalytic ranks. Applications...
It is shown that if 𝓢 is a commuting family of weak* continuous nonexpansive mappings acting on a weak* compact convex subset C of the dual Banach space E, then the set of common fixed points of 𝓢 is a nonempty nonexpansive retract of C. This partially solves an open problem in metric fixed point theory in the case of commutative semigroups.
