The semigroup of Fredholm operators.
In this paper we prove a variety of results about the signature operator on Witt spaces. First, we give a parametrix construction for the signature operator on any compact, oriented, stratified pseudomanifold which satisfies the Witt condition. This construction, which is inductive over the ‘depth’ of the singularity, is then used to show that the signature operator is essentially self-adjoint and has discrete spectrum of finite multiplicity, so that its index—the analytic signature of —is well-defined....
Lindenstrauss-Pełczyński (for short ℒ) spaces were introduced by these authors [Studia Math. 174 (2006)] as those Banach spaces X such that every operator from a subspace of c₀ into X can be extended to the whole c₀. Here we obtain the following structure theorem: a separable Banach space X is an ℒ-space if and only if every subspace of c₀ is placed in X in a unique position, up to automorphisms of X. This, in combination with a result of Kalton [New York J. Math. 13 (2007)], provides a negative...
An explicit representation of the n-fold symmetric tensor product (equipped with a natural topology τ such as the projective, injective or inductive one) of the finite direct sum of locally convex spaces is presented. The formula for gives a direct proof of a recent result of Díaz and Dineen (and generalizes it to other topologies τ) that the n-fold projective symmetric and the n-fold projective “full” tensor product of a locally convex space E are isomorphic if E is isomorphic to its square .
Using the technique of Fraïssé theory, for every constant , we construct a universal object in the class of Banach spaces possessing a normalized -suppression unconditional Schauder basis.
