Johnson's projection, Kalton's property (M*), and M-ideals of compact operators
Let X and Y be Banach spaces. We give a “non-separable” proof of the Kalton-Werner-Lima-Oja theorem that the subspace (X,X) of compact operators forms an M-ideal in the space (X,X) of all continuous linear operators from X to X if and only if X has Kalton’s property (M*) and the metric compact approximation property. Our proof is a quick consequence of two main results. First, we describe how Johnson’s projection P on (X,Y)* applies to f ∈ (X,Y)* when f is represented via a Borel (with respect to...

Józef Marcinkiewicz (1910-1940) - on the centenary of his birth
Józef Marcinkiewicz’s (1910-1940) name is not known by many people, except maybe a small group of mathematicians, although his influence on the analysis and probability theory of the twentieth century was enormous. This survey of his life and work is in honour of the anniversary of his birth and anniversary of his death. The discussion is divided into two periods of Marcinkiewicz’s life. First, 1910-1933, that is, from his birth to his graduation from the University of Stefan Batory in Vilnius,...
Józef Marcinkiewicz: analysis and probability
We briefly review Marcinkiewicz's work, on analysis, on probability, and on the interplay between the two. Our emphasis is on the continuing vitality of Marcinkiewicz's work, as evidenced by its influence on the standard works. What is striking is how many of the themes that Marcinkiewicz studied (alone, or with Zygmund) are very much alive today. What this demonstrates is that Marcinkiewicz and Zygmund, as well as having extraordinary mathematical ability, also had excellent mathematical taste.
J-subspace lattices and subspace M-bases
The class of J-lattices was defined in the second author’s thesis. A subspace lattice on a Banach space X which is also a J-lattice is called a J- subspace lattice, abbreviated JSL. Every atomic Boolean subspace lattice, abbreviated ABSL, is a JSL. Any commutative JSL on Hilbert space, as well as any JSL on finite-dimensional space, is an ABSL. For any JSL ℒ both LatAlg ℒ and (on reflexive space) are JSL’s. Those families of subspaces which arise as the set of atoms of some JSL on X are characterised...
Jung constants of Orlicz sequence spaces
Estimation of the Jung constants of Orlicz sequence spaces equipped with either the Luxemburg norm or the Orlicz norm is given. The exact values of the Jung constants of a class of reflexive Orlicz sequence spaces are found by using new quantitative indices for 𝓝-functions.
