On the differentiability of the norm in trace classes
Let X and Y be Banach spaces and let 𝓐(X,Y) be a closed subspace of 𝓛(X,Y), the Banach space of bounded linear operators from X to Y, containing the subspace 𝒦(X,Y) of compact operators. We prove that if Y has the metric compact approximation property and a certain geometric property M*(a,B,c), where a,c ≥ 0 and B is a compact set of scalars (Kalton's property (M*) = M*(1, {-1}, 1)), and if 𝓐(X,Y) ≠ 𝒦(X,Y), then there is no projection from 𝓐(X,Y) onto 𝒦(X,Y) with norm less than max|B| + c....
We show results about the existence and the nonexistence of a projection from the space of all linear and bounded operators from into onto the subspace of all representable operators.
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.
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 spaces on the unit circle and the real line...
The structure of the set of positive unital maps between M₂(ℂ) and Mₙ(ℂ) (n ≥ 3) is investigated. We proceed with the study of the "quantized" Choi matrix thus extending the methods of our previous paper [MM2]. In particular, we examine the quantized version of Størmer's extremality condition. Maps fulfilling this condition are characterized. To illustrate our approach, a careful analysis of Tang's maps is given.
