Weakly compact operators and strict topologies

Let X   be a completely regular Hausdorff space and _Cb(X)$C_b(X)$ be the Banach space of all real-valued bounded continuous functions on X, endowed with the uniform norm. It is shown that every weakly compact operator T   from _Cb(X)$C_b(X)$ to a quasicomplete locally convex Hausdorff space E   can be uniquely decomposed as T=_T1+_T2+_T3+_T4$T=T_1+T_2+T_3+T_4$, where _Tk:_Cb(X)→E$T_k:C_b(X)\to E$(k=1,2,3,4)$(k=1,2,3,4)$ are weakly compact operators, and _T1$T_1$ is tight, _T2$T_2$ is purely τ  -additive, _T3$T_3$ is purely σ  -additive and _T4$T_4$ is purely finitely additive. Moreover, we derive a generalized Yosida–Hewitt decomposition for E-valued strongly bounded regular Baire measures.     

Strict and Mackey topologies and tight vector measures

Let B() denote the Banach algebra of all bounded Borel measurable complex functions defined on a topological Hausdor? space X, and B_o() stand for the ideal of B() consisting of all functions vanishing at infinity. Then B() is a faithful Banach left B_o()-module and the strict topology β on B() induced by B_o() is a mixed topology. For a sequentially complete locally convex Hausdor? space (E, ξ), we study the relationship between vector measures m : → E and the corresponding continuous integration operators T_m : B() → E. It is shown that a measure m : → E is countably additive tight if and only if the corresponding integration operator T_m is (η, ξ)-continuous, where η denotes the infimum of the strict topology β and the Mackey topology τ (B(), ca()). If, in particular, E is a Banach space, it is shown that m is countably additive tight if and only if Tm(absconv(U ∪ W)) is relatively weakly compact in E for some τ (B(), ca())-neighborhood U of 0 and some β-neighborhood W of 0 in B(). As an application, we prove a Nikodym type convergence theorem for countably additive tight vector measures.     

A generalized inductive limit strict topology on the space of bounded continuous functions

A generalized inductive limit strict topology β_∞ is defined on C_b(X, E), the space of all bounded, continuous functions from a zero-dimensional Hausdorff space X into a locally -convex space E, where is a field with a nontrivial and nonarchimedean valuation, for which is a complete ultrametric space. Many properties of the topology β_∞ are proved and the dual of (C_b (X, E), β_∞) is studied.     

Certain strict topologies on the space of regular Borel measures on locally compact groups

Let G   denote a locally compact Hausdorff group and M(G)$M(G)$ be the space of all bounded complex-valued regular Borel measures on G  . In this paper, we define two strict topologies on M(G)$M(G)$ and study various properties of these topologies such as metrizability, barrelledness and completeness. We also determine the dual space of M(G)$M(G)$ and consider various continuity properties for the convolution product on M(G)$M(G)$ under these topologies.     

A representation theorem for maxitive measures

A maxitive measure is a nonnegative function η on a σ-algebra Σ and such that η(U_j A_j ) = sup_j η(A_j) for all countable disjoint families of sets (A_j) in Σ. A representation theorem for such measures is established, and next applied to represent Köthe function M-spaces as L_∞-spaces.     

Positive Representations of L 1 of a Vector Measure

We characterize the vector measures n on a Banach lattice such that the map provides a quasi-norm which is equivalent to the canonical norm of the space L₁(n) of integrable functions as an specific type of transformations of positive vector measures that we call cone-open transformations. We also prove that a vector measure m on a Banach space X constructed as a cone-open transformation of a positive vector measure can be considered in some sense as a positive vector measure by defining a new order on X.     

Spaces of p-integrable Functions with Respect to a Vector Measure

We study several properties of the Banach lattices L^p (m) and L^p_w (m) of p-integrable scalar functions and weakly p-integrable scalar functions with respect to a countably additive vector measure m. The relation between these two spaces plays a fundamental role in our analysis. This research has been partially supported by La Consejería de Educatión y Ciencia de la Junta de Andalucía.     

A converse to the Oka principle over certain complex Banach manifolds

First Kajiwara then Leiterer gave geometric or cohomological criteria in the spirit of the Grauert-Oka principle for an open subset D of a Stein manifold M to be itself Stein. We give here criteria analogous to Leiterer's, e.g., for a relatively open subset D of a closed complex Hilbert submanifold M of separable Hilbert space to be itself biholomorphic to a closed complex Hilbert submanifold of separable Hilbert space.     

ON A THEOREM OF A.A. LYAPUNOV

Abstract

In this note we obtain some extensions and an approximation of the Lyapunov convexity theorem by means of the bilinear integration of a set-valued function. The integration is performed successively with respect to a non-atomic, a direct sum and a Darboux vector measure. The necessary counterexamples are provided.     

Hausdorff measures on the Wiener space

We construct a Hausdorff measure of finite co-dimension on the Wiener space. We then extend the Federer co-area Formula to this Wiener space for functions with the sole condition that they belong to the first Sobolev space. An explicit formula for the density of the images of the Wiener measure under such functions follows naturally from this. As a corollary, this yields a new and easy proof of the Krée-Watanabe theorem concerning the regularity of the images of the Wiener measure.     

Monotonely Cauchy locally-solid topologies

The lattice of monotonely Cauchy (=pre-Lebesgue) locally solid topologies on a given lattice-ordered group is studied. Indentifying topologies agreeing on order bounded sets this lattice becomes a complete Boolean algebra isomorphic to the subalgebra of the lattice's complemented members and realizable as a Boolean algebra of order projections. Some consequences of these results are indicated.Work done while Tim Traynor was visiting professor at University of Napoli sponsored by CNR-Italia.     

On the Radon-Nikodym property for operator valued measures

A theorem about the Radon-Nikodym property and the convergence of bounded martingales is proved for a bilinear integral in locally convex spaces.     

Commutative Sequences of Integrable Functions and Best Approximation With Respect to the Weighted Vector Measure Distance

Let λ be a countably additive vector measure with values in a separable real Hilbert space H. We define and study a pseudo metric on a Banach lattice of integrable functions related to λ that we call a λ-weighted distance. We compute the best approximation with respect to this distance to elements of the function space by the use of sequences with special geometric properties. The requirements on the sequence of functions are given in terms of a commutation relation between these functions that involves integration with respect to λ. We also compare the approximation that is obtained in this way with the corresponding projection on a particular Hilbert space.     

Strict topologies on measure spaces

Let X be a measurable space, let be a family of measurable subsets of it, and let be a subspace of complex measures on X that is also closed under restrictions of measures. In this paper we introduce the ‐convergence topology and the ‐strict topology on . Among other results, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for Hausdorff‐ness and coincide‐ness of these topologies. Applications to Lebesgue spaces, and also examples in Hausdorff topological spaces and locally compact groups are given.     

Multiplication operators on vector measure Orlicz spaces

Let m be a countably additive vector measure with values in a real Banach space X, and let L¹(m) and L_w(m) be the spaces of functions which are, correspondingly, integrable and weakly integrable with respect to m. Given a Young's function Φ, we consider the vector measure Orlicz spaces L^Φ(m) and L^Φ_w(m) and establish that the Banach space of multiplication operators going from W = L^Φ(m) into Y = L¹ (m) is M = L^Ψ_w (m) with an equivalent norm; here Ψ is the conjugated Young's function for Φ. We also prove that when W = L^Φ_w(m), Y = L¹(m) we have M = L^Ψ_w (m), and when W = L^Φ_w(m), Y = L¹(m) we have M = L^Ψ (m).
