Let R and S be two operators on a Hilbert space. We discuss the link between the subscalarity of RS and SR. As an application, we show that backward Aluthge iterates of hyponormal operators and p-quasihyponormal operators are subscalar.

The concept of k-step full backward extension for subnormal operators is adapted to the context of completely hyperexpansive operators. The question of existence of k-step full backward extension is solved within this class of operators with the help of an operator version of the Levy-Khinchin formula. Some new phenomena in comparison with subnormal operators are found and related classes of operators are discussed as well.

We show that the classes ${}_p^{bern}:=T:\left(bₙ\left(T\right)\right)\in l_p$ associated with the Bernstein numbers bₙ fail to be operator ideals. Moreover, ${}_p^{bern}{\circ }_q^{bern}{⊈}_r^{bern}$ for 1/r = 1/p + 1/q.

We solve several problems in the theory of polynomials in Banach spaces. (i) There exist Banach spaces without the Dunford-Pettis property and without upper p-estimates in which all multilinear forms are weakly sequentially continuous: some Lorentz sequence spaces, their natural preduals and, most notably, the dual of Schreier's space. (ii) There exist Banach spaces X without the Dunford-Pettis property such that all multilinear forms on X and X* are weakly sequentially continuous; this gives an...

We prove that a Banach space X with a supershrinking basis (a special type of shrinking basis) without $c_0$ copies is somewhat reflexive (every infinite-dimensional subspace contains an infinite-dimensional reflexive subspace). Furthermore, applying the $c_0$-theorem by Rosenthal, it is proved that X contains order-one quasireflexive subspaces if X is not reflexive. Also, we obtain a characterization of the usual basis in $c_0$.

The standard Berezin and Berezin-Toeplitz quantizations on a Kähler manifold are based on operator symbols and on Toeplitz operators, respectively, on weighted L2-spaces of holomorphic functions (weighted Bergman spaces). In both cases, the construction basically uses only the fact that these spaces have a reproducing kernel. We explore the possibilities of using other function spaces with reproducing kernels instead, such as L2-spaces of harmonic functions, Sobolev spaces, Sobolev spaces of holomorphic...

Let Π₂ be the operator ideal of all absolutely 2-summing operators and let $I_m$ be the identity map of the m-dimensional linear space. We first establish upper estimates for some mixing norms of $I_m$. Employing these estimates, we study the embedding operators between Besov function spaces as mixing operators. The result obtained is applied to give sufficient conditions under which certain kinds of integral operators, acting on a Besov function space, belong to Π₂; in this context, we also consider the...

We determine the set of all triples 1 ≤ p,q,r ≤ ∞ for which the so-called Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequality is satisfied: There exists a constant c≥ 0 such that for each bounded linear operator $T:L_q\left(\mu \right)\to L_p\left(\nu \right)$, each n ∈ ℕ and functions $f_1,...,f_n\in L_q\left(\mu \right)$, $\left(ʃ\right({\sum }_{k=1}^n|T{f}_k{|}^r{)}^{p/r}{d\nu )}^{1/p}\le c\parallel T\parallel \left(ʃ\right({\sum }_{k=1}^n|f_k{|}^r{{)}^{q/r}d\mu )}^{1/q}$. This type of inequality includes as special cases well-known inequalities of Paley, Marcinkiewicz, Zygmund, Grothendieck, and Kwapień. If such a Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequality holds for a given triple (p,q,r), then we calculate the best constant c ≥ 0 (with the only exception:...
