A note on weakly compact subsets in the projective tensor product of Banach spaces

Let X and Y be two Banach spaces. In this short note we show that every weakly compact subset in the projective tensor product of X and Y can be written as the intersection of finite unions of sets of the form , where K_X and K_Y are weakly compacts subsets of X and Y, respectively. If either X or Y has the Dunford–Pettis property, then any intersection of sets that are finite unions of sets of the form , where K_X and K_Y are weakly compact sets in X and Y, respectively, is weakly compact.     

Vector lattices of weakly compact operators on Banach lattices

A result of Aliprantis and Burkinshaw shows that weakly compact operators from an AL-space into a KB-space have a weakly compact modulus. Groenewegen characterised the largest class of range spaces for which this remains true whenever the domain is an AL-space and Schmidt proved a dual result. Both of these authors used vector-valued integration in their proofs. We give elementary proofs of both results and also characterise the largest class of domains for which the conclusion remains true whenever the range space is a KB-space. We conclude by studying the order structure of spaces of weakly compact operators between Banach lattices to prove results analogous to earlier results of one of the authors for spaces of compact operators.

Weak Covering at Large Cardinals

We show that weakly compact cardinals are the smallest large cardinals k where k⁺ < k⁺ is impossible provided 0^# does not exist. We also show that if k^+Kc < k⁺ for some k being weakly compact (where K^c is the countably complete core model below one strong cardinal), then there is a transitive set M with M ? ZFC + “there is a strong cardinal”.     

Ideals of homogeneous polynomials and weakly compact approximation property in Banach spaces

We show that a Banach space E has the weakly compact approximation property if and only if each continuous Banach-valued polynomial on E can be uniformly approximated on compact sets by homogeneous polynomials which are members of the ideal of homogeneous polynomials generated by weakly compact linear operators. An analogous result is established also for the compact approximation property.

Some fixed point theorems of the Schauder and the Krasnosel'skii type and application to nonlinear transport equations

In [J. Math. Phys. 37 (1996) 1336-1348] the existence of solutions to the boundary value problem (1.1)-(1.2) was analyzed for isotropic scattering kernels on L_p spaces for p∈(1,∞). Due to the lack of compactness in L₁ spaces, the problem remains open for p=1. The purpose of this work is to extend this analysis to the case p=1 for anisotropic scattering kernels. Our strategy consists in establishing new variants of the Schauder and the Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorems in general Banach spaces involving weakly compact operators. In L₁ context these theorems provide an adequate tool to attack the problem. Our analysis uses the specific properties of weakly compacts sets on L₁ spaces and the weak compactness results for one-dimensional transport equations established in [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 252 (2000) 767-789].

Topological characterisation of weakly compact operators

Let X be a Banach space. Then there is a locally convex topology for X, the “Right topology,” such that a linear map T, from X into a Banach space Y, is weakly compact, precisely when T is a continuous map from X, equipped with the “Right” topology, into Y equipped with the norm topology. When T is only sequentially continuous with respect to the Right topology, it is said to be pseudo weakly compact. This notion is related to Pelczynski's Property (V).     

Fixed point properties of semigroups of non-expansive mappings

In recent years, there have been considerable interests in the study of when a closed convex subset K of a Banach space has the fixed point property, i.e. whenever T is a non-expansive mapping from K into K, then K contains a fixed point for T. In this paper we shall study fixed point properties of semigroups of non-expansive mappings on weakly compact convex subsets of a Banach space (or, more generally, a locally convex space). By considering the classes of bicyclic semigroups we answer two open questions, one posted earlier by the first author in 1976 (Dalhousie) and the other posted by T. Mitchell in 1984 (Virginia). We also provide a characterization for the existence of a left invariant mean on the space of weakly almost periodic functions on separable semitopological semigroups in terms of fixed point property for non-expansive mappings related to another open problem raised by the first author in 1976.     

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.     

Polynomials and limited sets

We prove that scalar-valued polynomials are weakly continuous on limited sets and that, as in the case of linear mappings, every -valued polynomial maps limited sets into relatively compact ones. We also show that a scalar-valued polynomial whose derivative is limited is weakly sequentially continuous.

     

Weakly compact composition operators on vector-valued BMOA

Weak compactness of the analytic composition operator f?f○φ is studied on BMOA(X), the space of X-valued analytic functions of bounded mean oscillation, and its subspace VMOA(X), where X is a complex Banach space. It is shown that the composition operator is weakly compact on BMOA(X) if X is reflexive and the corresponding composition operator is compact on the scalar-valued BMOA. A concrete example is given which shows that BMOA(X) differs from the weak vector-valued BMOA for infinite dimensional Banach spaces X.

Almost Dunford–Pettis sets in Banach lattices

We introduce and study the class of almost Dunford–Pettis sets in Banach lattices. It also discusses some of the consequences derived from this study. As an application, we characterize Banach lattices whose relatively weakly compact sets are almost Dunford–Pettis sets. Also, we establish some necessary and sufficient conditions on which an almost Dunford–Pettis set is L-weakly compact (respectively, relatively weakly compact). In particular, we characterize Banach lattices under which almost Dunford–Pettis sets in the topological dual of a Banach lattice coincide with that of L-weakly compact (respectively, relatively weakly compact) sets. As a consequences we derive some results.     

Strong Minkowski Separation and Co-Drop Property

In the framework of topological vector spaces, we give a characterization of strong Minkowski separation, introduced by Cheng, et al., in terms of convex body separation. From this, several results on strong Minkowski separation are deduced. Using the results, we prove a drop theorem involving weakly countably compact sets in locally convex spaces. Moreover, we introduce the notion of the co-drop property and show that every weakly countably compact set has the co-drop property. If the underlying locally convex space is quasi-complete, then a bounded weakly closed set has the co-drop property if and only if it is weakly countably compact.     

Determinacy and weakly Ramsey sets in Banach spaces

We give a sufficient condition for a set of block subspaces in an infinite-dimensional Banach space to be weakly Ramsey. Using this condition we prove that in the Levy-collapse of a Mahlo cardinal, every projective set is weakly Ramsey. This, together with a construction of W. H. Woodin, is used to show that the Axiom of Projective Determinacy implies that every projective set is weakly Ramsey. In the case of we prove similar results for a stronger Ramsey property. And for hereditarily indecomposable spaces we show that the Axiom of Determinacy plus the Axiom of Dependent Choices imply that every set is weakly Ramsey. These results are the generalizations to the class of projective sets of some theorems from W. T. Gowers, and our paper ``Weakly Ramsey sets in Banach spaces.'

     

On the complexity of expansive measures

We prove that the existence of positively expansive measures for continuous maps on compact metric spaces implies the existence of e 0 and a sequence of(m, e)-separated sets whose cardinalities go to infinite as m →∞. We then prove that maps exhibiting such a constant e and the positively expansive maps share some properties.
