Asymptotically Spirallike Mappings in Reflexive Complex Banach Spaces

In this paper we consider the notion of asymptotic spirallikeness in reflexive complex Banach spaces $X$ , and the connection with univalent subordination chains. Poreda initially introduced the notion of asymptotic starlikeness to characterize biholomorphic mappings on the unit polydisc in $\mathbb{C }^{n}$ which have parametric representation in the sense of Loewner theory. The authors introduced the notions of $A$ -asymptotic spirallikeness and $A$ -parametric representation on the Euclidean unit ball of $\mathbb{C }^{n}$ , where $A\in L(\mathbb{C }^{n})$ with $m(A)>0$ . They showed that these notions are equivalent whenever $k_+(A)<2m(A)$ . In this paper we prove that if $k_+(A)<2m(A)$ and $f\in S(B)$ has $A$ -parametric representation, then $f$ is also $A$ -asymptotically spirallike on the unit ball $B$ of $X$ . For the converse, we need the additional assumption that $f$ is a smooth $A$ -asymptotically spirallike mapping, except in the finite-dimensional case $X=\mathbb{C }^{n}$ with an arbitrary norm. The notion of asymptotic spirallikeness involves differential equations and may be regarded as giving a geometric characterization of certain domains in $X$ . That is one of the motivations for considering this notion in the case of reflexive complex Banach spaces.     

New Moduli of Smoothness on the Unit Ball and Other Domains,Introduction and Main Properties

A new set of moduli of smoothness on a large variety of Banach spaces of functions on the unit ball is introduced. These measures of smoothness utilize uniformly bounded holomorphic semigroups on the Banach space in question. The new moduli are “correct” in the sense that they satisfy direct (Jackson) and weak converse inequalities. The method used also applies to spaces of functions on the simplex and the unit sphere, and while the main goal is the investigation of properties and relations concerning the unit ball, many of the results will be given for other domains and situations. The classic properties, including equivalence with appropriate \(K\) -functionals or realization functionals, will be established. Bernstein- and Kolmogorov-type inequalities are proved.     

A class of \ell ^p saturated Banach spaces

We present a new class of reflexive \(\ell ^p\) saturated Banach spaces \(\mathfrak{X }_p\) for \(1<p<\infty \) with rather tight structure. The norms of these spaces are defined with the use of a modification of the standard method yielding hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces. The space \(\mathfrak{X }_p\) does not embed into a space with an unconditional basis and for any analytic decomposition into two subspaces, it is proved that one of them embeds isomorphically into the \(\ell ^p\) -sum of a sequence of finite dimensional normed spaces. We also study the space of operators of \(\mathfrak{X }_p\) .     

Spaces of compact operators and their dual spaces

LetE andF be reflexive Banach spaces andC the space of all compact linear operators fromE toF. A representation of the dual space ofC is given and it is proved thatC is either reflexive or nonconjugate. Applications of these results are also given.     

A weak Grothendieck compactness principle for Banach spaces with a symmetric basis

The Grothendieck compactness principle states that every norm compact subset of a Banach space is contained in the closed convex hull of a norm null sequence. In Dowling et al. (J Funct Anal 263(5):1378–1381, 2012), an analogue of the Grothendieck compactness principle for the weak topology was used to characterize Banach spaces with the Schur property. Using a different analogue of the Grothendieck compactness principle for the weak topology, a characterization of the Banach spaces with a symmetric basis that are not isomorphic to $\ell ^1$ and do not contain a subspace isomorphic to $c_0$ is given. As a corollary, it is shown that, in the Lorentz space $d(w,1)$ , every weakly compact set is contained in the closed convex hull of the rearrangement invariant hull of a norm null sequence.     

Spectrum of weighted composition operators. Part II: weighted composition operators on subspaces of Banach lattices

We describe the spectrum of weighted $d$ -isomorphisms of Banach lattices restricted on closed subspaces that are “rich” enough to preserve some “memory” of the order structure of the original lattice. The examples include (but are not limited to) weighted isometries of Hardy spaces on the polydisk and unit ball in $\mathbb C ^n$ .     

On the scalarization method in cone metric spaces

Recently, Du (J Nonlinear Anal 72:2259–2261, 2010) by using a nonlinear scalarization function, in the setting of locally convex topological vector spaces, could transfer a cone metric space to a usual metric space. Simultaneously, Amini-Harandi and Fakhar (Com Math Appl 59:3529–3534, 2010) by using a notion of base for the cone , in the setting of Banach spaces, could do the same. In this note we will see that two methods coincide and moreover they are valid for topological vector spaces and it is not necessary that we only consider the cones which have a compact base. Finally, it is worth noting that the nature of this note is similar to Caglar and Ercan (Order-unit-metric spaces, arXiv:1305.6070 [math.FA], 2013).     

Theorems of Denjoy–Wolff type

Using the Kobayashi distance, we first establish a version of the Denjoy–Wolff theorem for a bounded and strictly convex domain in ${{\mathbb{C}}^k}$ . Next, we prove analogous results for semigroups of holomorphic mappings and the resolvents of their generators. Finally, we obtain theorems of Denjoy–Wolff type for families of holomorphic retracts of the open unit ball in a complex, reflexive, and strictly convex Banach space.     

Harmonic mappings in Bergman spaces

In this paper, we investigate the properties of mappings in harmonic Bergman spaces. First, we discuss the coefficient estimate, the Schwarz-Pick Lemma and the Landau-Bloch theorem for mappings in harmonic Bergman spaces in the unit disk $\mathbb D $ of $\mathbb C $ . Our results are generalizations of the corresponding ones in Chen et al. (Proc Am Math Soc 128:3231–3240, 2000), Chen et al. (J Math Anal Appl 373:102–110, 2011), Chen et al. (Ann Acad Sci Fenn Math 36:567–576, 2011). Then, we study the Schwarz-Pick Lemma and the Landau-Bloch theorem for mappings in harmonic Bergman spaces in the unit ball $\mathbb B ^{n}$ of $\mathbb C ^{n}$ . The obtained results are generalizations of the corresponding ones in Chen and Gauthier (Proc Am Math Soc 139:583–595 2011). At last, we get a characterization for mappings in harmonic Bergman spaces on $\mathbb B ^{n}$ in terms of their complex gradients.     

Toeplitz Operators with BMO Symbols on Holomorphic Besov Spaces

We study the Toeplitz operator $T^{\beta }_{\mu }$ , on the holomorphic Besov spaces $B^p_s$ in the unit ball, for complex measures $\mu $ on the unit ball. We give sufficient conditions for which $T^{\beta }_{\mu }$ is bounded. In the case of positive measures or $\textit{BMO}^{\beta }$ symbols, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of (weighted) Berezin transform and Carleson measures for Besov spaces.     

Essential Norm Estimates for Little Hankel Operators on Weighted Bergman Spaces of the Unit Ball

We give estimates for the essential norm of a bounded little Hankel operator with $L^2$ symbol on weighted Bergman spaces of the unit ball in terms of a certain integral transform of the symbol. As an application of these estimates, we also give a necessary and sufficient condition for the little Hankel operators to be compact.     

Isometric factorization of weakly compact operators and the approximation property

Using an isometric version of the Davis, Figiel, Johnson, and Pe?czyński factorization of weakly compact operators, we prove that a Banach spaceX has the approximation property if and only if, for every Banach spaceY, the finite rank operators of norm ≤1 are dense in the unit ball ofW(Y,X), the space of weakly compact operators fromY toX, in the strong operator topology. We also show that, for every finite dimensional subspaceF ofW(Y,X), there are a reflexive spaceZ, a norm one operatorJ:Y→Z, and an isometry Φ :F →W(Y,X) which preserves finite rank and compact operators so thatT=Φ(T) oJ for allT∈F. This enables us to prove thatX has the approximation property if and only if the finite rank operators form an ideal inW(Y,X) for all Banach spacesY.     

Reflexivity of Banach C(K)-modules via the reflexivity of Banach lattices

We extend the well known criteria of reflexivity of Banach lattices due to Lozanovsky and Lotz to the class of finitely generated Banach \(C(K)\) -modules. Namely we prove that a finitely generated Banach \(C(K)\) -module is reflexive if and only if it does not contain any subspace isomorphic to either \(l^{1}\) or \(c_{0}\) .     

Riesz completions,functional representations,and anti-lattices

We show that the Riesz completion of an Archimedean partially ordered vector space $X$ with unit can be represented as a norm dense Riesz subspace of the smallest functional representation of $X.$ This yields a convenient way to find the Riesz completion. To illustrate the method, the Riesz completions of spaces ordered by Lorentz cones, cones of symmetric positive semi-definite matrices, and polyhedral cones are determined. We use the representation to analyse the existence of non-trivial disjoint elements and link the absence of such elements to the notion of anti-lattice. One of the results is a geometric condition on the dual cone of a finite dimensional partially ordered vector space $X$ that ensures that $X$ is an anti-lattice.     

Sufficient Criteria for \varepsilon Starlike Mappings in a Complex Banach Space

Several sufficient conditions for $\varepsilon $ starlike mappings on the unit ball $B$ in a complex Banach space are provided. From these, we may construct many concrete $\varepsilon $ starlike mappings on $B$ . Furthermore, several growth results associated with these sufficient conditions are also provided.     

Multipliers on homogeneous Banach spaces with respect to Jacobi polynomials

A bounded linear operator is called multiplier with respect to Jacobi polynomials if and only if it commutes with all Jacobi translation operators on $[-1,1]$ . Multipliers on homogeneous Banach spaces on $[-1,1]$ determined by the Jacobi translation operator are introduced and studied. First we prove four equivalent characterizations of a multiplier for an arbitrary homogeneous Banach spaces $B$ on $[-1,1]$ . One of them implies the existence of an algebra isomorphism from the set of all multipliers on $B$ into the set of all pseudomeasures. Further, we study multipliers on specific examples of homogeneous Banach spaces on $[-1,1]$ . Amongst others, multipliers on the Wiener algebra, on the Beurling space and on Sobolev spaces are analyzed. We obtain that the multiplier spaces of the Wiener algebra, the Beurling space and of all Sobolev spaces are isometric isomorphic to each other. Furthermore, these multiplier spaces are all isometric isomorphic to the set of all pseudomeasures.     

Existence theorems of the hemivariational inequality governed by a multi-valued map perturbed with a nonlinear term in Banach spaces

In this paper, we establish some existence results for the hemivariational inequality governed by a multi-valued map perturbed with a nonlinear term in reflexive Banach spaces. Using the concept of the stable $f$ -quasimonotonicity, the properties of Clarke’s generalized directional derivative, Clarke’s generalized gradient and KKM technique, some existence theorems of solutions are proved when the constrained set is nonempty, bounded (or unbounded), closed and convex. Our main results extend various results existing in the current literatures.     

A non-type (D) operator in c_0

Previous examples of non-type (D) maximal monotone operators were restricted to $\ell ^1$ , $L^1$ , and Banach spaces containing isometric copies of these spaces. This fact led to the conjecture that non-type (D) operators were restricted to this class of Banach spaces. We present a linear non-type (D) operator in $c_0$ .     

Operator Ideals on Non-commutative Function Spaces

Suppose X and Y are Banach spaces, and \({{\mathcal{I}}}\) , \({{\mathcal{J}}}\) are operator ideals. compact operators). Under what conditions does the inclusion \({\mathcal{I}(X,Y) \subset \mathcal{J}(X,Y)}\) , or the equality \({\mathcal{I}(X,Y)\,=\,\mathcal{J}(X,Y)}\) , hold? We examine this question when \({\mathcal{I}, \mathcal{J}}\) are the ideals of Dunford–Pettis, strictly (co)singular, finitely strictly singular, inessential, or (weakly) compact operators, while X and Y are non-commutative function spaces. Since such spaces are ordered, we also address the same questions for positive parts of such ideals.     

Compact composition operators acting between weighted Bergman spaces of the unit ball

In this paper, we study a composition operator ${C_{\varphi}}$ on the weighted Bergman space ${A_{\alpha}^p(B)}$ of the unit ball B in ${{\mathbb{C}}^N}$ . Under a natural condition we estimate the essential norm of ${C_{\varphi}}$ . As a consequence of this estimate, we also give a function-theoretic characterization of ${\varphi}$ that induces a compact composition operator on ${A_{\alpha}^p(B)}$ .
