Estimates of Disjoint Sequences in Banach Lattices and R.I. Function Spaces

We introduce UDS _p -property (resp. UDT _q -property) in Banach lattices as the property that every normalized disjoint sequence has a subsequence with an upper p-estimate (resp. lower q-estimate). In the case of rearrangement invariant spaces, the relationships with Boyd indices of the space are studied. Some applications of these properties are given to the high order smoothness of Banach lattices, in the sense of the existence of differentiable bump functions     

Even infinite-dimensional real Banach spaces

This article is a continuation of a paper of the first author [V. Ferenczi, Uniqueness of complex structure and real hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces, Adv. Math. 213 (1) (2007) 462–488] about complex structures on real Banach spaces. We define a notion of even infinite-dimensional real Banach space, and prove that there exist even spaces, including HI or unconditional examples from [V. Ferenczi, Uniqueness of complex structure and real hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces, Adv. Math. 213 (1) (2007) 462–488] and C(K) examples due to Plebanek [G. Plebanek, A construction of a Banach space C(K) with few operators, Topology Appl. 143 (2004) 217–239]. We extend results of [V. Ferenczi, Uniqueness of complex structure and real hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces, Adv. Math. 213 (1) (2007) 462–488] relating the set of complex structures up to isomorphism on a real space to a group associated to inessential operators on that space, and give characterizations of even spaces in terms of this group. We also generalize results of [V. Ferenczi, Uniqueness of complex structure and real hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces, Adv. Math. 213 (1) (2007) 462–488] about totally incomparable complex structures to essentially incomparable complex structures, while showing that the complex version of a space defined by S. Argyros and A. Manoussakis [S. Argyros, A. Manoussakis, An indecomposable and unconditionally saturated Banach space, Studia Math. 159 (1) (2003) 1–32] provides examples of essentially incomparable complex structures which are not totally incomparable.     

Diagonal multilinear operators on Köthe sequence spaces

We analyse the interplay between maximal/minimal/adjoint ideals of multilinear operators (between sequence spaces) and their associated Köthe sequence spaces. We establish relationships with spaces of multipliers and apply these results to describe diagonal multilinear operators from Lorentz sequence spaces. We also define and study some properties of the ideal of (E, p)-summing multilinear mappings, a natural extension of the linear ideal of absolutely (E, p)-summing operators.     

Characterizations of Banach spaces whose duals areL 1 spaces

We characterize those Banach spaces whose duals are isometric toL ₁ spaces in terms of the structure of the spaces of absolutely summing, integral, nuclear, and fully nuclear operators from or into these spaces.     

An oscillating operator related to wave equations in the block spaces

In this article, we study certain oscillating multipliers related to Cauchy problem for the wave equations on the Euclidean space and on the torus. We obtain that, at the end point, these operators are bounded from the L _p spaces to certain block spaces.     

On a new geometric property for Banach spaces

In this paper we study a geometric property for Banach spaces called condition (*), introduced by de Reynaet al in [3], A Banach space has this property if for any weakly null sequencex _n of unit vectors inX, ifx _* ⁿ is any sequence of unit vectors inX ^* that attain their norm at x_n’s, then . We show that a Banach space satisfies condition (*) for all equivalent norms iff the space has the Schur property. We also study two related geometric conditions, one of which is useful in calculating the essential norm of an operator.     

Products of operator ideals and extensions of Schatten classes

We study relations between Schatten classes and product operator ideals, where one of the factors is the Banach ideal Π_E,2 of (E, 2)‐summing operators, and where E is a Banach sequence space with ?₂ ? E. We show that for a large class of 2‐convex symmetric Banach sequence spaces the product ideal Π_E,2 ○ ??^a_q,s is an extension of the Schatten class ??_F with a suitable Lorentz space F. As an application, we obtain that if 2 ≤ p, q < ∞, 1/r = 1/p + 1/q and E is a 2‐convex symmetric space with fundamental function λ_E(n) ≈? n^1/p, then Π_E,2 ○ Π_q is an extension of the Schatten class ??r,q (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Narrow operators and the Daugavet property for ultraproducts

We show that if T is a narrow operator (for the definition see below) on or , then the restrictions to X₁ and X₂ are narrow and conversely. We also characterise by a version of the Daugavet property for positive operators on Banach lattices which unconditional sums of Banach spaces inherit the Daugavet property, and we study the Daugavet property for ultraproducts.     

Complex interpolation of Orlicz spaces with respect to a vector measure

We apply the Calderón interpolation methods to Orlicz and weakly Orlicz function spaces with respect to a Banach‐space‐valued measure defined on a σ‐algebra. The results we obtain generalize those in the case of Banach lattices of p‐integrable and weakly p‐integrable functions with respect to such a vector measure.     

Strong Convergence Theorem for Multiple Sets Split Feasibility Problems in Banach Spaces

The purpose of this article is to study the iterative approximation of solution to multiple sets split feasibility problems in p-uniformly convex real Banach spaces that are also uniformly smooth. We propose an iterative algorithm for solving multiple sets split feasibility problems and prove a strong convergence theorem of the sequence generated by our algorithm under some appropriate conditions in p-uniformly convex real Banach spaces that are also uniformly smooth.     

On convergence of sections of sequences in Banach spaces

An elementary proof of the (known) fact that each element of the Banach spaceℓ _w ^p (X) of weakly absolutelyp-summable sequences (if 1≤p<∞) in the Banach spaceX is the norm limit of its sections if and only if each element ofℓ _w ^p (X) is a norm null sequence inX, is given. Little modification to this proof leads to a similar result for a family of Orlicz sequence spaces. Some applications to spaces of compact operators on Banach sequence spaces are considered.     

A note on Riesz spaces with property-b

We study an order boundedness property in Riesz spaces and investigate Riesz spaces and Banach lattices enjoying this property.     

Some estimates in spaces

We consider a class of rearrangement invariant Banach Function Spaces recently appeared in a paper by the same authors, containing at the same time some Lorentz spaces Γ(ν), classical Lebesgue spaces and small Lebesgue spaces. We discuss the main properties coming directly from the norm, and, for certain values of the involved parameters, we prove some estimates of the norm of the associate space.     

K-monotone weighted couples of banach lattices

We give a criterion for the uniform relative K-monotonicity of weighted couples (X,X(w ₁)) and (X,X(w ₂)), where X is some Banach lattice of measurable functions with the Fatou property while w ₁ and w ₂ are weight functions. Using the criterion, we prove some corollaries for sequence spaces and arbitrary Banach lattices.     

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.     

The Gustavsson–Peetre method for several Banach spaces

We extend the Gustavsson–Peetre method to the context of N ‐tuples of Banach spaces. We give estimates for the norm of the interpolated operator. The method is applied to tuples of weighted L _p ‐spaces and to tuples of Orlicz spaces identifying the outcoming spaces in both cases. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

On the classes of hereditarily ℓp Banach spaces

Let X denote a specific space of the class of X _α,p Banach sequence spaces which were constructed by Hagler and the first named author as classes of hereditarily ℓ_p Banach spaces. We show that for p > 1 the Banach space X contains asymptotically isometric copies of ℓ_p. It is known that any member of the class is a dual space. We show that the predual of X contains isometric copies of ℓ_p where 1/p + 1/q = 1. For p = 1 it is known that the predual of the Banach space X contains asymptotically isometric copies of c ₀. Here we give a direct proof of the known result that X contains asymptotically isometric copies of ℓ₁.     

Natural examples of Valdivia compact spaces

We collect examples of Valdivia compact spaces, their continuous images and associated classes of Banach spaces which appear naturally in various branches of mathematics. We focus on topological constructions generating Valdivia compact spaces, linearly ordered compact spaces, compact groups, L¹ spaces, Banach lattices and noncommutative L¹ spaces.
