Universal K?the Sequence Spaces

 A characterization is given for the K?the matrices B such that the K?the sequence space , with , contains all K?the sequence spaces of order p as subspaces. It follows that the class of K?the sequence spaces of order p has a universal element which is quasinormable. In particular, there is a quasinormable space (respectively, which contains every nuclear Fréchet space with basis (respectively, every countably normed Fréchet Schwartz space). Only Fréchet spaces with continuous norm are considered in this note.

Shift Generated Haar Spaces on Compact Domains in the Complex Plane

Haar spaces are certain finite-dimensional subspaces of $\cc(K)$, where $K$ is a compact set and $\cc(K)$ is the Banach space of continuous functions defined on $K$ having values in $\C$. We characterize those Haar spaces which are generated by shifts applied to a single, analytic function for $K\subset\C$. This means that an arbitrary finite number of shifts generates Haar spaces by forming linear hulls. We have to distinguish two cases: (a) $K\not=\overline{K^\circ}$; (b) $K=\overline{K^\circ}$. It turns out that, in case (a), an analytic Haar space generator for dimensions one and two is already a universal Haar space generator for all dimensions. The geometrically simplest case that, in case (b), $K$ is convex with smooth boundary turns out to be the most difficult case. There is one numerical example in which the entire function $f:=1/\Gamma$ is interpolated in a shift generated Haar space of dimension four.     

On the Injective Tensor Product of Distinguished Frechet Spaces

An example of two distinguished Fréchet spaces E, F is given (even more, E is quasinormable and F is normable) such that their completed injective tensor product E?F is not distinguished. On the other hand, it is proved that for arbitrary reflexive Fréchet space E and arbitrary compact set K the space of E - valued continuous functions C(K, E) is distinguished and its strong dual is naturally isomorphic to ? where L¹(μ) = C(K)¹.     

On the Banach-Saks property in Fréchet spaces

We prove that the Banach-Saks and the strict Banach-Saks properties are equivalent in quasinormable Fréchet spaces. We give an example of a Fréchet space having the Banach-Saks property which cannot be written as a projective limit of Banach spaces having the weak Banach-Saks property.     

Banach spaces without minimal subspaces

We prove three new dichotomies for Banach spaces à la W.T. Gowers' dichotomies. The three dichotomies characterise respectively the spaces having no minimal subspaces, having no subsequentially minimal basic sequences, and having no subspaces crudely finitely representable in all of their subspaces. We subsequently use these results to make progress on Gowers' program of classifying Banach spaces by finding characteristic spaces present in every space. Also, the results are used to embed any partial order of size ℵ₁ into the subspaces of any space without a minimal subspace ordered by isomorphic embeddability.     

Spectral synthesis of Jordan-like operators

Necessary conditions and sufficient conditions are given for an operator acting on a separable Hilbert space whose root spaces are pairwise orthogonal and have dense linear span to admit spectral synthesis; that is, for each of its closed invariant subspaces to be the closed linear span of the root vectors it contains.     

Planar and affine spaces

In this note, we characterize finite three-dimensional affine spaces as the only linear spaces endowed with set Ω of proper subspaces having the properties (1) every line contains a constant number of points, say n, with n>2; (2) every triple of noncollinear points is contained in a unique member of Ω; (3) disjoint or coincide is an equivalence relation in Ω with the additional property that every equivalence class covers all points. We also take a look at the case n=2 (in which case we have a complete graph endowed with a set Ω of proper complete subgraphs) and classify these objects: besides the affine 3-space of order 2, two small additional examples turn up. Furthermore, we generalize our result in the case of dimension greater than three to obtain a characterization of all finite affine spaces of dimension at least 3 with lines of size at least 3.     

Enumerating Motzkin–Rabin geometries

The main result of this paper is an enumeration of all Motzkin‐Rabin geometries on up to 18 points. A Motzkin‐Rabin geometry is a two‐colored linear space with no monochromatic line. We also study the embeddings of Motzkin‐Robin geometries into projective spaces over fields and division rings. We find no Motzkin‐Rabin geometries on up to 18 points embeddable in ?² or ??₂(t)². We find many examples of Motzkin‐Rabin geometries with no proper linear subspaces. We give an example of a proper linear space embeddable in ?(?( )²). © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Multirectangular invariants for power Köthe spaces

Using some new linear topological invariants, isomorphisms and quasidiagonal isomorphisms are investigated on the class of first type power Köthe spaces [Proceedings of 7th Winter School in Drogobych, 1976, pp. 101-126; Turkish J. Math. 20 (1996) 237-289; Linear Topol. Spaces Complex Anal. 2 (1995) 35-44]. This is the smallest class of Köthe spaces containing all Cartesian and projective tensor products of power series spaces and closed with respect to taking of basic subspaces (closed linear hulls of subsets of the canonical basis). As an application, it is shown that isomorphic spaces from this class have, up to quasidiagonal isomorphisms, the same basic subspaces of finite (infinite) type.     

Ideals and bands in pre-Riesz spaces

In a vector lattice, ideals and bands are well-investigated subjects. We study similar notions in a pre-Riesz space. The pre-Riesz spaces are exactly the order dense linear subspaces of vector lattices. Restriction and extension properties of ideals, solvex ideals and bands are investigated. Since every Archimedean directed partially ordered vector space is pre-Riesz, we establish properties of ideals and bands in such spaces.      

Lushness, numerical index one and duality

We construct an example of a Banach space which is not lush, but whose dual space is lush. This example shows that lushness is not equivalent to numerical index one. A characterization of lushness for some quotient spaces of L₁(μ) spaces and new results on C-rich subspaces of (scalar- or vector-valued) C(K) spaces are also presented.     

Large Bergman spaces: invertibility, cyclicity, and subspaces of arbitrary index

In a wide class of weighted Bergman spaces, we construct invertible non-cyclic elements. These are then used to produce z-invariant subspaces of index higher than one. In addition, these elements generate non-trivial bilaterally invariant subspaces in anti-symmetrically weighted Hilbert spaces of sequences.     

Operators associated with soft and hard spectral edges from unitary ensembles

Using Hankel operators and shift-invariant subspaces on Hilbert space, this paper develops the theory of the integrable operators associated with soft and hard edges of eigenvalue distributions of random matrices. Such Tracy-Widom operators are realized as controllability operators for linear systems, and are reproducing kernels for weighted Hardy spaces, known as Sonine spaces. Periodic solutions of Hill's equation give a new family of Tracy-Widom type operators. This paper identifies a pair of unitary groups that satisfy the von Neumann-Weyl anti-commutation relations and leave invariant the subspaces of L² that are the ranges of projections given by the Tracy-Widom operators for the soft edge of the Gaussian unitary ensemble and hard edge of the Jacobi ensemble.     

Completion of Semiuniform Convergence Spaces

Semiuniform convergence spaces form a common generalization of filter spaces (including symmetric convergence spaces [and thus symmetric topological spaces] as well as Cauchy spaces) and uniform limit spaces (including uniform spaces) with many convenient properties such as cartesian closedness, hereditariness and the fact that products of quotients are quotients. Here, for each semiuniform convergence space a completion is constructed, called the simple completion. This one generalizes Császár's -completion of filter spaces. Thus, filter spaces are characterized as subspaces of convergence spaces. Furthermore, Wyler's completion of separated uniform limit spaces can be easily derived from the simple completion.

On Dense Subspaces Satisfying Stronger Separation Axioms

We prove that it is independent of ZFC whether every Hausdorff countable space of weight less than has a dense regular subspace. Examples are given of countable Hausdorff spaces of weight which do not have dense Urysohn subspaces. We also construct an example of a countable Urysohn space, which has no dense completely Hausdorff subspace. On the other hand, we establish that every Hausdorff space of -weight less than has a dense completely Hausdorff (and hence Urysohn) subspace. We show that there exists a Tychonoff space without dense normal subspaces and give other examples of spaces without "good" dense subsets.     

On operators with orbits dense relative to nontrivial subspaces

In the present paper we consider bounded linear operators which have orbits dense relative to nontrivial subspaces. We give nontrivial examples of such operators and establish many of their basic properties. An example of an operator which has an orbit dense relative to a certain subspace but is not subspace-hypercyclic for this subspace is given. This, in turn, provides a new answer to a question posed in [18]. Other hypercyclic-like properties of such operators are also considered.     

Approximation in reflexive Banach spaces and applications to the invariant subspace problem

We formulate a general approximation problem involving reflexive and smooth Banach spaces, and give its explicit solution. Two applications are presented--the first is to the Bounded Completion Problem involving approximation of Hardy class functions, while the second involves the construction of minimal vectors and hyperinvariant subspaces of linear operators, generalizing the Hilbert space technique of Ansari and Enflo.

     

Subspaces of Hilbert-generated Banach spaces and the quantification of super weak compactness

We introduce a measure of super weak noncompactness Γ defined for bounded subsets and bounded linear operators in Banach spaces that allows to state and prove a characterization of the Banach spaces which are subspaces of a Hilbert-generated space. The use of super weak compactness and Γ casts light on the structure of these Banach spaces and complements the work of Argyros, Fabian, Farmaki, Godefroy, Hájek, Montesinos, Troyanski and Zizler on this subject. A particular kind of relatively super weakly compact sets, namely uniformly weakly null sets, plays an important role and exhibits connections with Banach-Saks type properties.
