We prove that compact AC-operators have a representation as a combination of disjoint projections which mirrors that for compact normal operators. We also show that unlike arbitrary AC-operators, compact AC-operators admit a unique splitting into real and imaginary parts, and that these parts must necessarily be compact.
Many authors have recently studied compact and weakly compact homomorphisms between function algebras. Among them, Lindström and Llavona [2] treat weakly compact continuous homomorphisms between algebras of type C(T) when T is a completely regular Hausdorff space.Llavona asked wether the results in [2] are valid in the case of algebras of differentiable functions on Banach spaces. The purpose of this note is to give an affirmative answer to this question, by proving that weakly compact homomorphisms...
In this Note we give some compact embedding theorems for Sobolev spaces, related to -tuples of vectors fields of class on .
We investigate compact operators between approximation spaces, paying special attention to the limit case. Applications are given to embeddings between Besov spaces.
For p ≥ 1, a subset K of a Banach space X is said to be relatively p-compact if , where p’ = p/(p-1) and . An operator T ∈ B(X,Y) is said to be p-compact if T(Ball(X)) is relatively p-compact in Y. Similarly, weak p-compactness may be defined by considering . It is proved that T is (weakly) p-compact if and only if T* factors through a subspace of in a particular manner. The normed operator ideals of p-compact operators and of weakly p-compact operators, arising from these factorizations,...
Various topics concerning compact elementary operators on Banach algebras are studied: their ranges, their coefficients, and the structure of algebras having nontrivial compact elementary operators. In the first part of the paper we consider separately elementary operators of certain simple types. In the second part we obtain our main results which deal with general elementary operators.
For a polish space M and a Banach space E let B1 (M, E) be the space of first Baire class functions from M to E, endowed with the pointwise weak topology. We study the compact subsets of B1 (M, E) and show that the fundamental results proved by Rosenthal, Bourgain, Fremlin, Talagrand and Godefroy, in case E = R, also hold true in the general case. For instance: a subset of B1 (M, E) is compact iff it is sequentially (resp. countably) compact, the convex hull of a compact bounded subset of B1 (M,...
A characterization is given of those Banach-space-valued vector measures m with finite variation whose associated integration operator Iₘ: f ↦ ∫fdm is compact as a linear map from L¹(m) into the Banach space. Moreover, in every infinite-dimensional Banach space there exist nontrivial vector measures m (with finite variation) such that Iₘ is compact, and other m (still with finite variation) such that Iₘ is not compact. If m has infinite variation, then Iₘ is never compact.
A Banach space X has the Dunford-Pettis property (DPP) provided that every weakly compact operator T from X to any Banach space Y is completely continuous (or a Dunford-Pettis operator). It is known that X has the DPP if and only if every weakly null sequence in X is a Dunford-Pettis subset of X. In this paper we give equivalent characterizations of Banach spaces X such that every weakly Cauchy sequence in X is a limited subset of X. We prove that every operator T: X → c₀ is completely continuous...
We prove that for each dense non-compact linear operator S: X → Y between Banach spaces there is a linear operator T: Y → c₀ such that the operator TS: X → c₀ is not compact. This generalizes the Josefson-Nissenzweig Theorem.
Here are given the figures of this paper, initially published with some omissions.
Criteria are given for determining the weak compactness, or otherwise, of the integration map associated with a vector measure. For instance, the space of integrable functions of a weakly compact integration map is necessarily normable for the mean convergence topology. Results are presented which relate weak compactness of the integration map with the property of being a bicontinuous isomorphism onto its range. Finally, a detailed description is given of the compactness properties for the integration...
