Let 𝓔 be a Banach space contained in a Hilbert space 𝓛. Assume that the inclusion is continuous with dense range. Following the terminology of Gohberg and Zambickiĭ, we say that a bounded operator on 𝓔 is a proper operator if it admits an adjoint with respect to the inner product of 𝓛. A proper operator which is self-adjoint with respect to the inner product of 𝓛 is called symmetrizable. By a proper subspace 𝓢 we mean a closed subspace of 𝓔 which is the range of a proper projection. Furthermore,...

In this brief note, we see that if $A$ is a proper uniform algebra on a compact Hausdorff space $X$, then $A$ is flat.

We prove the existence of complex Banach spaces X such that every element F in the bidual X** of X has a unique best approximation π(F) in X, the equality ∥F∥ = ∥π (F)∥ + ∥F - π (F)∥ holds for all F in X**, but the mapping π is not linear.

Tauberian operators, which appeared in response to a problem in summability [GaW, KW] have found application in several situations: factorization of operators [DFJP], preservation of isomorphic properties of Banach spaces [N, NR], equivalence between the Radon-Nikodym property and the Krein-Milman property [Sch], and generalized Fredholm operators [Ta, Y].This paper is a survey of the main properties and applications of Tauberian operators.

The concept of lushness, introduced recently, is a Banach space property, which ensures that the space has numerical index 1. We prove that for Asplund spaces lushness is actually equivalent to having numerical index 1. We prove that every separable Banach space containing an isomorphic copy of c₀ can be renormed equivalently to be lush, and thus to have numerical index 1. The rest of the paper is devoted to the study of lushness just as a property of Banach spaces. We prove that lushness is separably...

A Banach space $X$ has the reciprocal Dunford-Pettis property ($RDPP$) if every completely continuous operator $T$ from $X$ to any Banach space $Y$ is weakly compact. A Banach space $X$ has the $RDPP$ (resp. property $\left(wL\right)$) if every $L$-subset of $X^{*}$ is relatively weakly compact (resp. weakly precompact). We prove that the projective tensor product $X\otimes {}_{\pi }Y$ has property $\left(wL\right)$ when $X$ has the $RDPP$, $Y$ has property $\left(wL\right)$, and $L(X,Y^{*})=K(X,Y^{*})$.

The main objective of this paper is to give a simple proof for a larger class of spaces of the following theorem of Kalton and Werner. (a) X has property (M*), and (b) X has the metric compact approximation property Our main tool is a new property (wM*) which we show to be closely related to the unconditional metric approximation property.

Nous montrons que $h^2(𝔻,L^1\left(𝕋\right))$ admet une norme équivalente $LUR,$ ce qui répond négativement à une question de Dowling, Hu et Smith. Puis nous obtenons une propriété de stabilité des opérateurs de Radon-Nikodym analytique. Motivés par l’identification entre $h^p(𝔻,X)$ et $V{B}^p(𝕋,X)$ où $X$ est un espace de Banach, pour un groupe abélien compact métrisable $G$, son dual $\Gamma$, et ${\Lambda }_2\subset {\Lambda }_1\subset \Gamma$, nous prouvons que, si l’espace $V{B}_{{\Lambda }_1}^p(G,X)/V{B}_{{\Lambda }_2}^p(G,X)$ a la propriété $Kadec-Klee-{\beta }^{\prime }-\omega$, alors il coincïde avec $L_{{\Lambda }_1}^p(G,X)/L_{{\Lambda }_2}^p(G,X),$$...$

The notion of proximal normal structure is introduced and used to study mappings that are "relatively nonexpansive" in the sense that they are defined on the union of two subsets A and B of a Banach space X and satisfy ∥ Tx-Ty∥ ≤ ∥ x-y∥ for all x ∈ A, y ∈ B. It is shown that if A and B are weakly compact and convex, and if the pair (A,B) has proximal normal structure, then a relatively nonexpansive mapping T: A ∪ B → A ∪ B satisfying (i) T(A) ⊆ B and T(B) ⊆ A, has a proximal point in the sense that...
