We define a modulus for the property (β) of Rolewicz and study some useful properties in fixed point theory for nonexpansive mappings. Moreover, we calculate this modulus in spaces for the main measures of noncompactness.
We introduce and study a natural class of variable exponent spaces, which generalizes the classical spaces and c₀. These spaces will typically not be rearrangement-invariant but instead they enjoy a good local control of some geometric properties. Some geometric examples are constructed by using these spaces.
We give a sufficient and necessary condition for a Radon-Nikodým compact space to be Eberlein compact in terms of a separable fibre connecting weak-* and norm approximation.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 46B70, 41A25, 41A17, 26D10. ∗Part of the results were reported at the Conference “Pioneers of Bulgarian Mathematics”, Sofia, 2006.Certain types of weighted Peetre K-functionals are characterized by means of the classical moduli of smoothness taken on a proper linear transforms of the function. The weights with power-type asymptotic at the ends of the interval with arbitrary real exponents are considered. This paper extends the method and results presented...
A class of Banach spaces, countably determined in their weak topology (hence, WCD spaces) is defined and studied; we call them strongly weakly countably determined (SWCD) Banach spaces. The main results are the following: (i) A separable Banach space not containing ℓ¹(ℕ) is SWCD if and only if it has separable dual; thus in particular, not every separable Banach space is SWCD. (ii) If K is a compact space, then the space C(K) is SWCD if and only if K is countable.
In this paper we define and investigate a new subclass of those Banach spaces which are -analytic in their weak topology; we call them strongly weakly -analytic (SWKA) Banach spaces. The class of SWKA Banach spaces extends the known class of strongly weakly compactly generated (SWCG) Banach spaces (and their subspaces) and it is related to that in the same way as the familiar classes of weakly -analytic (WKA) and weakly compactly generated (WCG) Banach spaces are related. We show that: (i) not...
In this paper we prove a new convexity property for L₁ that resembles uniform convexity. We then develop a general theory that leads from the convexity property through normal structure to a fixed point property, via a theorem of Kirk. Applying this theory to L₁, we get the following type of normal structure: any convex subset of L₁ of positive diameter that is compact for the topology of convergence locally in measure, must have a radius that is smaller than its diameter. Indeed, a stronger result...
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 46B20, 46B26.We construct a non-reflexive, l^2 saturated Banach space such that every non-reflexive subspace has non-separable dual.
We show that if the Szlenk index of a Banach space X is larger than the first infinite ordinal ω or if the Szlenk index of its dual is larger than ω, then the tree of all finite sequences of integers equipped with the hyperbolic distance metrically embeds into X. We show that the converse is true when X is assumed to be reflexive. As an application, we exhibit new classes of Banach spaces that are stable under coarse-Lipschitz embeddings and therefore under uniform homeomorphisms.
Distributional estimates for the Carleson operator acting on characteristic functions of measurable sets of finite measure were obtained by Hunt. In this article we describe a simple method that yields such estimates for general operators acting on one or more functions. As an application we discuss how distributional estimates are obtained for the linear and bilinear Hilbert transform. These distributional estimates show that the square root of the bilinear Hilbert transform is exponentially lntegrable...
We provide a new proof of James' sup theorem for (non necessarily separable) Banach spaces. One of the ingredients is the following generalization of a theorem of Hagler and Johnson: "If a normed space E does not contain any asymptotically isometric copy of l1, then every bounded sequence of E' has a normalized l1-block sequence pointwise converging to 0".
Surjective isometries between unital C*-algebras were classified in 1951 by Kadison [K]. In 1972 Paterson and Sinclair [PS] handled the nonunital case by assuming Kadison’s theorem and supplying some supplementary lemmas. Here we combine an observation of Paterson and Sinclair with variations on the methods of Yeadon [Y] and the author [S1], producing a fundamentally new proof of the structure of surjective isometries between (nonunital) C*-algebras. In the final section we indicate how our techniques...
