Let X and Y be complex Banach spaces of dimension greater than 2. We show that every 2-local Lie isomorphism ϕ of B(X) onto B(Y) has the form ϕ = φ + τ, where φ is an isomorphism or the negative of an anti-isomorphism of B(X) onto B(Y), and τ is a homogeneous map from B(X) into ℂI vanishing on all finite sums of commutators.
For two given symmetric sequence spaces E and F we study the (E,F)-multiplier space, that is, the space of all matrices M for which the Schur product M ∗ A maps E into F boundedly whenever A does. We obtain several results asserting continuous embedding of the (E,F)-multiplier space into the classical (p,q)-multiplier space (that is, when , ). Furthermore, we present many examples of symmetric sequence spaces E and F whose projective and injective tensor products are not isomorphic to any subspace...
