This paper studies a new maximal operator introduced by Hytönen, McIntosh and Portal in 2008 for functions taking values in a Banach space. The $L^p$-boundedness of this operator depends on the range space; certain requirements on type and cotype are present for instance. The original Euclidean definition of the maximal function is generalized to σ-finite measure spaces with filtrations and the $L^p$-boundedness is shown not to depend on the underlying measure space or the filtration.

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 47B47, 47B10; Secondary 47A30.Let H be a separable infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space and let L(H) denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H into itself. Given A ∈ L(H), the derivation δA : L(H)→ L(H) is defined by δA(X) = AX-XA. In this paper we prove that if A is an n-multicyclic hyponormal operator and T is hyponormal such that AT = TA, then || δA(X)+T|| ≥ ||T|| for all X ∈ L(H). We establish the same inequality if A is...

Let $X$ be a reflexive Banach space and $A$ be a closed operator in an $L_1$-space of $X$-valued functions. Then we characterize the range $R\left(A\right)$ of $A$ as follows. Let $0\ne {\lambda }_n\in \rho \left(A\right)$ for all $1\le n<\infty$, where $\rho \left(A\right)$ denotes the resolvent set of $A$, and assume that ${lim}_{n\to \infty }{\lambda }_n=0$ and ${sup}_{n\ge 1}\parallel {\lambda }_n{({\lambda }_n-A)}^{-1}\parallel <\infty$. Furthermore, assume that there exists ${\lambda }_{\infty }\in \rho \left(A\right)$ such that $\parallel {\lambda }_{\infty }{({\lambda }_{\infty }-A)}^{-1}\parallel \le 1$. Then $f\in R\left(A\right)$ is equivalent to ${sup}_{n\ge 1}{\parallel {({\lambda }_n-A)}^{-1}f\parallel }_1<\infty$. This generalizes Shaw’s result for scalar-valued functions.

In this paper, we examine some questions concerned with certain ``skew'' properties of the range of a Jordan *-derivation. In the first part we deal with the question, for example, when the range of a Jordan *-derivation is a complex subspace. The second part of this note treats a problem in relation to the range of a generalized Jordan *-derivation.

In this note, by means of the spectrum of the generating operator, we characterize the self-adjointness and closedness of the range of a normal and a self-adjoint Jordan *-derivation, respectively.

Let $L$ be a second order, uniformly elliptic, non variational operator with coefficients which are bounded and measurable in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$ ($d\ge 3$) and continuous in ${\mathbb{R}}^d\setminus \left\{0\right\}$. Then, if $\mathrm{\Omega }\subset {\mathbb{R}}^d$ is a bounded domain, we prove that $L\left(W^{2,p}\left(\mathrm{\Omega }\right)\right)$ is dense in $L^p\left(\mathrm{\Omega }\right)$ for any $p\in \left(1,d/2\right]$.

Let $L\left(H\right)$ denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$. For $A,B\in L\left(H\right)$, the generalized derivation ${\delta }_{A,B}$ and the multiplication operator $M_{A,B}$ are defined on $L\left(H\right)$ by ${\delta }_{A,B}\left(X\right)=AX-XB$ and $M_{A,B}\left(X\right)=AXB$. In this paper, we give a characterization of bounded operators $A$ and $B$ such that the range of $M_{A,B}$ is closed. We present some sufficient conditions for ${\delta }_{A,B}$ to have closed range. Some related results are also given.

Let $L\left(H\right)$ denote the algebra of operators on a complex infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$. For $A,B\in L\left(H\right)$, the generalized derivation ${\delta }_{A,B}$ and the elementary operator ${\Delta }_{A,B}$ are defined by ${\delta }_{A,B}\left(X\right)=AX-XB$ and ${\Delta }_{A,B}\left(X\right)=AXB-X$ for all $X\in L\left(H\right)$. In this paper, we exhibit pairs $(A,B)$ of operators such that the range-kernel orthogonality of ${\delta }_{A,B}$ holds for the usual operator norm. We generalize some recent results. We also establish some theorems on the orthogonality of the range and the kernel of ${\Delta }_{A,B}$ with respect to the wider class of unitarily invariant norms on...

A review of recent reflexivity and hyperreflexivity results is presented. We concentrate particularly on a finite-dimensional situation, Toeplitz operators and partial isometries. Open problems in this area are given.

The reflexivity and transitivity of subspaces of Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space on the upper half-plane are investigated. The dichotomic behavior (transitive or reflexive) of these subspaces is shown. It refers to the similar dichotomic behavior for subspaces of Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space on the unit disc. The isomorphism between the Hardy spaces on the unit disc and the upper half-plane is used. To keep weak* homeomorphism between $L^{\infty }$ spaces on the unit circle and the real line...
