Let $f$ be a non-zero positive vector of a Banach lattice $L$, and let $T$ be a positive linear operator on $L$ with the spectral radius $r\left(T\right)$. We find some groups of assumptions on $L$, $T$ and $f$ under which the inequalities $$sup\{c\ge 0:Tf\ge cf\}\le r\left(T\right)\le inf\{c\ge 0:Tf\le cf\}$$ hold. An application of our results gives simple upper and lower bounds for the spectral radius of a product of positive operators in terms of positive eigenvectors corresponding to the spectral radii of given operators. We thus extend the matrix result obtained by Johnson and Bru which...

Bourgain’s discretization theorem asserts that there exists a universal constant $C\in (0,\infty )$ with the following property. Let $X,Y$ be Banach spaces with $dimX=n$. Fix $D\in (1,\infty )$ and set $\delta =e^{-n^{Cn}}$. Assume that $𝒩$ is a $\delta$-net in the unit ball of $X$ and that $𝒩$ admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into $Y$ with distortion at most $D$. Then the entire space $X$ admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into $Y$ with distortion at most $CD$. This mostly expository article is devoted to a detailed presentation of a proof of Bourgain’s theorem.We also obtain an improvement...

We examine conditions under which a pair of rearrangement invariant function spaces on [0,1] or [0,∞) form a Calderón couple. A very general criterion is developed to determine whether such a pair is a Calderón couple, with numerous applications. We give, for example, a complete classification of those spaces X which form a Calderón couple with $L_{\infty }.$ We specialize our results to Orlicz spaces and are able to give necessary and sufficient conditions on an Orlicz function F so that the pair $(L_F,L_{\infty })$ forms a...

We introduce a class of weights for a which a rich theory of real interpolation can be developed. In particular it led us to extend the commutator theorems associated to this method.

We study sufficient conditions on the weight w, in terms of membership in the $A_p$ classes, for the spline wavelet systems to be unconditional bases of the weighted space $H^p\left(w\right)$. The main tool to obtain these results is a very simple theory of regular Calderón-Zygmund operators.

A Banach space $X$ has Pełczyński’s property (V) if for every Banach space $Y$ every unconditionally converging operator $T:X\to Y$ is weakly compact. H. Pfitzner proved that $C^{*}$-algebras have Pełczyński’s property (V). In the preprint (Krulišová, (2015)) the author explores possible quantifications of the property (V) and shows that $C\left(K\right)$ spaces for a compact Hausdorff space $K$ enjoy a quantitative version of the property (V). In this paper we generalize this result by quantifying Pfitzner’s theorem. Moreover, we...

For a Banach space X such that all quotients only admit direct decompositions with a number of summands smaller than or equal to n, we show that every operator T on X can be identified with an n × n scalar matrix modulo the strictly cosingular operators SC(X). More precisely, we obtain an algebra isomorphism from the Calkin algebra L(X)/SC(X) onto a subalgebra of the algebra of n × n scalar matrices which is triangularizable when X is indecomposable. From this fact we get some information on the...

It is known that $ℬ\left({\ell }^p\right)$ is not amenable for p = 1,2,∞, but whether or not $ℬ\left({\ell }^p\right)$ is amenable for p ∈ (1,∞) ∖ 2 is an open problem. We show that, if $ℬ\left({\ell }^p\right)$ is amenable for p ∈ (1,∞), then so are ${\ell }^{\infty }\left(ℬ\left({\ell }^p\right)\right)$ and ${\ell }^{\infty }\left(\left({\ell }^p\right)\right)$. Moreover, if ${\ell }^{\infty }\left(\left({\ell }^p\right)\right)$ is amenable so is ${\ell }^{\infty }(,\left(E\right))$ for any index set and for any infinite-dimensional ${ℒ}^p$-space E; in particular, if ${\ell }^{\infty }\left(\left({\ell }^p\right)\right)$ is amenable for p ∈ (1,∞), then so is ${\ell }^{\infty }\left(\left({\ell }^p\oplus \ell ²\right)\right)$. We show that ${\ell }^{\infty }\left(\left({\ell }^p\oplus \ell ²\right)\right)$ is not amenable for p = 1,∞, but also that our methods fail us if p ∈ (1,∞). Finally, for p ∈ (1,2) and a free ultrafilter over ℕ, we exhibit...

For two Banach spaces X and Y, we write $di{m}_{\ell }\left(X\right)=di{m}_{\ell }\left(Y\right)$ if X embeds into Y and vice versa; then we say that X and Y have the same linear dimension. In this paper, we consider classes of Banach spaces with symmetric bases. We say that such a class ℱ has the Cantor-Bernstein property if for every X,Y ∈ ℱ the condition $di{m}_{\ell }\left(X\right)=di{m}_{\ell }\left(Y\right)$ implies the respective bases (of X and Y) are equivalent, and hence the spaces X and Y are isomorphic. We prove (Theorems 3.1, 3.3, 3.5) that the class of Orlicz sequence spaces generated by regularly...

Two Banach spaces X and Y are symmetrically complemented in each other if there exists a supplement of Y in X which is isomorphic to some supplement of X in Y. In 1996, W. T. Gowers solved the Schroeder-Bernstein (or Cantor-Bernstein) Problem for Banach spaces by constructing two non-isomorphic Banach spaces which are symmetrically complemented in each other. In this paper, we show how to modify such a symmetry in order to ensure that X is isomorphic to Y. To do this, first we introduce the notion...

These notes are devoted to the analysis on a capacity space, with capacities as substitutes of measures of the Orlicz function spaces. The goal is to study some aspects of the classical theory of Orlicz spaces for these spaces including the classical theory of interpolation.

On étudie certains cônes de mesures $\ge 0$ sur un espace localement compact, qui sont invariantes par l’action continue d’un groupe localement compact $G$, cette étude étant centrée sur les génératrices extrémales de ces cônes. On dégage d’abord un type très simple d’action continue où l’on décrit complètement la situation. On dégage ensuite une classe d’actions (contenant par exemple l’action de shift de Bernoulli sur $\{0,1{\}}^{\mathbf{N}}$) qui ne sont pas du type précédent, et que l’on étudie en grand détail. Le résultat...

Let X be a closed subspace of B(H) for some Hilbert space H. In [9], Pisier introduced Sp [X] (1 ≤ p ≤ +∞) by setting Sp [X] = (S∞ [X] , S1 [X])θ , (where θ =1/p , S∞ [X] = S∞ ⊗min X and S1 [X] = S1 ⊗∧ X) and showed that there are p−matricially normed spaces. In this paper we prove that conversely, if X is a p−matricially normed space with p = 1, then there is an operator structure on X, such that M1,n (X) = S1 [X] where Sn,1 [X] is the finite dimentional version of S1 [X]. For p...
