Bidual renormings of Banach spaces

Given a separable Banach space X with no isomorphic copies of ℓ₁ and a separable subspace Y of its bidual, we provide a sufficient condition on Y to ensure that X admits an equivalent norm such that the restriction to Y of the corresponding bidual norm is midpoint locally uniformly rotund. This result applies to the separable subspaces of the bidual of a Banach space with a shrinking unconditional Schauder basis and to the bidual of the James space.     

Embedding Banach spaces with unconditional bases into spaces with symmetric bases

Every reflexive Banach space with unconditional basis is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of a reflexive Banach space with symmetric basis.     

A remark on symmetric bases

Every separable Banach space with an unconditional basis is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of a space with a symmetric basis.     

A note on Banach spaces containing c0 or C∞

It is shown that every separable Banach space X containing a subspace isomorphic to c₀ has a subspace Y with basis such that $\text{X}\text{Y}\text{~}\text{c}{}_0\text{C}{}_{\mathrm{\infty }}$ and the latter space has a shrinking basis and an unconditional FDD. Moreover, it is shown that X ⊕ C_∞ has a basis if X has the bounded approximation property.     

Orthogonally Complemented Subspaces in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we extend the Moreau (Riesz) decomposition theorem from Hilbert spaces to Banach spaces. Criteria for a closed subspace to be (strongly) orthogonally complemented in a Banach space are given. We prove that every closed subspace of a Banach space X with dim X ≥ 3 (dim X ≤ 2) is strongly orthognally complemented if and only if the Banach space X is isometric to a Hilbert space (resp. strictly convex), which is complementary to the well-known result saying that every closed subspace of a Banach space X is topologically complemented if and only if the Banach space X is isomorphic to a Hilbert space.     

A note on non-support points, negligible sets, Gâteaux differentiability and Lipschitz embeddings

This paper first presents a characterization of three classes of negligible closed convex sets (i.e., Gauss null sets, Aronszajn null sets and cube null sets) in terms of non-support points; then gives a generalization of Gâteaux differentiability theorems of Lipschitz mapping from open sets to those closed convex sets admitting non-support points; and as their application, finally shows that a closed convex set in a separable Banach space X can be Lipschitz embedded into a Banach space Y with the Radon–Nikodym property if and only if the closure of its linear span is linearly isomorphic to a closed subspace of Y.     

A Solution to Banach's Hyperplane Problem

An infinite-dimensional Banach space X is constructed whichis not isomorphic to X R. Equivalently, X is not isomorphicto any of its closed subspaces of codimension one. This givesa negative answer to a question of Banach. In fact, X has thestronger property that it is not isomorphic to any proper subspace.It also happens to have an unconditional basis.     

On solutions to the Schroeder-Bernstein problem for Banach spaces

We investigate the geometry of the Banach spaces failing Schroeder-Bernstein Property (SBP). Initially we prove that every complex hereditarily indecomposable Banach space H is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of a Banach space S(H) that fails SBP in such a way that the only complemented hereditarily indecomposable subspaces of S(H) are those which are nearly isomorphic to H. Then we show that every Banach space having Mazur property is isomorphic to some complemented subspace of a Banach space which is not isomorphic to its square but isomorphic to its cube. Finally, we prove that if a Banach space X fails SBP then either it is not primary or the Grothendieck group K₀(L(X)) of the algebra of operators on X is not trivial.     

On the Borelness of the intersection operation

We study the intersection operation of closed linear subspaces in a separable Banach space. We show that if the ambient space is quasi-reflexive, then the intersection operation is Borel. On the other hand, if the space contains a closed subspace with a Schauder decomposition into infinitely many non-reflexive spaces, then the intersection operation is not Borel. As a corollary, for a closed subspace of a Banach space with an unconditional basis, the intersection operation of the closed linear subspaces is Borel if and only if the space is reflexive. We also consider the intersection operation of additive subgroups in an infinite-dimensional separable Banach space, and show that if this intersection operation is Borel then the space is hereditarily indecomposable.     

Norming Subspaces Isomorphic to l_1

Norming subspaces are studied widely in the duality theory of Banach spaces. These subspaces are applied to the Borel and Baire classifications of the inverse operators. The main result of this article asserts that the dual of a Banach space X contains a norming subspace isomorphic to 1 provided that the following two conditions are satisfied:(1) X*contains a subspace isomorphic to 1;and(2) X*contains a separable norming subspace.     

On almost Chebyshev subspaces

A closed subspace F in a Banach space X is called almost Chebyshev if the set of x ε X which fail to have unique best approximation in F is contained in a first category subset. We prove, among other results, that if X is a separable Banach space which is either locally uniformly convex or has the Radon-Nikodym property, then “almost all” closed subspaces are almost Chebyshev.     

An iterative procedure for solving the common solution of two total quasi-ϕ-asymptotically nonexpansive multi-valued mappings in Banach spaces

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative procedure which is constructed by the shrinking hybrid projection method for solving the common solution of fixed point problems for two total quasi-?-asymptotically nonexpansive multi-valued mappings. Under suitable conditions, the strong convergence theorems are established in a uniformly smooth and strictly convex real Banach space with Kadec-Klee property. Our result improves and extends the corresponding ones announced by some authors.     

A banach lattice without the approximation property

A Banach latticeL without the approximation property is constructed. The construction can be improved so thatL is, in addition, uniformly convex. These results yield the existence of a uniformly convex Banach space with symmetric basis and without the uniform approximation property.     

A characterization of conjugate WCG banach spaces

It is proved that a WCG Banach space X is isomorphic to a conjugate Banach space if and only if there exists a closed subspace V of its conjugate space X' with positive characteristic such that X possesses the following summability property with respect to V: For every bounded sequence in X there exists a regular essentially positive summability method A such that the A-means of the sequence are σ(X,V)-convergent in X. This extends a well-known theorem of Nishiura-Waterman [8] and yields an analogous characterization of quasi-reflexive spaces. Conjugate spaces of smooth Banach spaces can also be characterized by the above summability condition.     

On the existence of noncompact bounded linear operators between certain Banach spaces

It is proved that if the Banach spaceE has an unconditional basis and ifF is another Banach space, the following two assertions are equivalent: (1) There is a non-compact bounded linear operator fromE intoF′. (2) The space of bounded linear operators fromE intoF′ has a subspace isomorphic toc ₀. This research was supported in part by National Science Foundation Grants GP 12027 and GU 3171. The author thanks the referee for simplifying the proof.     

Embedding spaces with unconditional bases

Every super-reflexive space with an unconditional basis is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of a super-reflexive space with a symmetric basis.     

Norming subspaces isomorphic to ℓ 1

Norming subspaces are studied widely in the duality theory of Banach spaces. These subspaces are applied to the Borel and Baire classifications of the inverse operators. The main result of this article asserts that the dual of a Banach space X contains a norming subspace isomorphic to l₁ provided that the following two conditions are satisfied: (1) X^* contains a subspace isomorphic to l₁; and (2) X^* contains a separable norming subspace.     

Fixed-Point Theorems for Generalized Nonexpansive Mappings

Using the concept of asymptotic center we obtain the existence of fixed points having preassigned location for a wider class of asymptotic nonexpansive mappings in a uniformly convex Banach space. This generalization leads us to get a recent result of Alfuraidan and Khamsi for continuous monotone asymptotic nonexpansive mappings as well as the classical fixed-point result of Geobel and Kirk for asymptotic nonexpansive mappings in a uniformly convex Banach space. Also we prove a fixed-point theorem for order preserving continuous maps on a quasiordered closed convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach sapce having monotone norm.     

Embedding unconditional stable banach spaces into symmetric stable banach spaces

In this paper we prove the following result which solves a question raised by A. Pelczynski: “Every stable Banach space with an unconditional basis is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of some stable Banach space with a symmetric basis.” Moreover, we show that all the interpolation spacesl ^p ,l ^q _θ,X,1 1≦p, q<∞ andX stable, are stable.     

Fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings versus that for nonexpansive semigroups

The main result of this paper is that a closed convex subset of a Banach space has the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings if and only if it has the fixed point property for nonexpansive semigroups.
