Two properties on projective tensor products are introduced and briefly studied. We apply them to give sufficient conditions to assure the non-containment of l1 in a projective tensor product of Banach spaces.
We study various aspects of nonexpansive retracts and retractions in certain Banach and metric spaces, with special emphasis on the compact nonexpansive envelope property.
Our main result shows that for a large class of nonlinear local mappings between Besov and Sobolev space, interpolation is an exceptional low dimensional phenomenon. This extends previous results by Kumlin [13] from the case of analytic mappings to Lipschitz and Hölder continuous maps (Corollaries 1 and 2), and which go back to ideas of the late B.E.J. Dahlberg [8].
It is shown that if (S,∑,m) is an atomless finite measure space and X is a Banach space without the Radon-Nikodym property, then the quotient space cabv(∑,m;X)/L¹(m;X) is nonseparable.
We show that an infinite-dimensional complete linear space X has: ∙ a dense hereditarily Baire Hamel basis if |X| ≤ ⁺; ∙ a dense non-meager Hamel basis if for some cardinal κ.
We introduce and investigate a class of non-separable tree-like Banach spaces. As a consequence, we prove that we cannot achieve a satisfactory extension of Rosenthal's ℓ₁-theorem to spaces of the type ℓ₁(κ) for κ an uncountable cardinal.
We show that in for p ≠ 2 the constants of equivalence between finite initial segments of the Walsh and trigonometric systems have power type growth. We also show that the Riemann ideal norms connected with those systems have power type growth.
We prove that if 𝓒 is a family of separable Banach spaces which is analytic with respect to the Effros Borel structure and no X ∈ 𝓒 is isometrically universal for all separable Banach spaces, then there exists a separable Banach space with a monotone Schauder basis which is isometrically universal for 𝓒 but not for all separable Banach spaces. We also establish an analogous result for the class of strictly convex spaces.
In this note we discuss some results on numerical radius attaining operators paralleling earlier results on norm attaining operators. For arbitrary Banach spaces X and Y, the set of (bounded, linear) operators from X to Y whose adjoints attain their norms is norm-dense in the space of all operators. This theorem, due to W. Zizler, improves an earlier result by J. Lindenstrauss on the denseness of operators whose second adjoints attain their norms, and is also related to a recent result by C. Stegall...
For each natural number N, we give an example of a Banach space X such that the set of norm attaining N-linear forms is dense in the space of all continuous N-linear forms on X, but there are continuous (N+1)-linear forms on X which cannot be approximated by norm attaining (N+1)-linear forms. Actually,X is the canonical predual of a suitable Lorentz sequence space. We also get the analogous result for homogeneous polynomials.
