On a Maximum Principle for Bergman Spaces with Small Exponents

We prove a stability theorem for the nullity of a linear combination c ₁ P ₁ + c ₂ P ₂ of two idempotent operators P ₁, P ₂ on a Banach space provided c ₁, c ₂ and c ₁ + c ₂ are nonzero. We then show that for c ₁ P ₁ + c ₂ P ₂ the property of being upper semi-Fredholm, lower semi-Fredholm and Fredholm, respectively, is independent of the choice of c ₁, c ₂, and that the nullity, defect and index of c ₁ P ₁ + c ₂ P ₂ are stable.     

Ordered Involutive Operator Spaces

This is a companion to recent papers of the authors; here we construct the ‘noncommutative Shilov boundary’ of a (possibly nonunital) selfadjoint ordered space of Hilbert space operators. The morphisms in the universal property of the boundary preserve order. As an application, we consider ‘maximal’ and ‘minimal’ unitizations of such ordered operator spaces.     

Subspaces and Orthogonal Decompositions Generated by Bounded Orthogonal Systems

We investigate properties of subspaces of L₂ spanned by subsets of a finite orthonormal system bounded in the L_∞ norm. We first prove that there exists an arbitrarily large subset of this orthonormal system on which the L₁ and the L₂ norms are close, up to a logarithmic factor. Considering for example the Walsh system, we deduce the existence of two orthogonal subspaces of L₂ⁿ, complementary to each other and each of dimension roughly n/2, spanned by ± 1 vectors (i.e. Kashin’s splitting) and in logarithmic distance to the Euclidean space. The same method applies for p > 2, and, in connection with the Λ_p problem (solved by Bourgain), we study large subsets of this orthonormal system on which the L₂ and the L_p norms are close (again, up to a logarithmic factor).

Subspace Weyl-Heisenberg frames

A Weyl-Heisenberg frame (WH frame) for L²(ℝ) allows every square integrable function on the line to be decomposed into the infinite sum of linear combination of translated and modulated versions of a fixed function. Some sufficient conditions for g ∈ L²(ℝ) to be a subspace Weyl-Heisenberg frame were given in a recent work [3] by Casazza and Christensen. Obviously every invariant subspace (under translation and modulation) is cyclic if it has a subspace WH frame. In the present article we prove that the cyclicity property is also sufficient for a subspace to admit a WH frame. We also investigate the dilation property for subspace Weyl-Heisenberg frames and show that every normalized tight subspace WH frame can be dilated to a normalized tight WH frame which is “maximal” In other words, every subspace WH frame is the compression of a WH frame which cannot be dilated anymore within the L²(ℝ) space.

Vector-valued multiparameter singular integrals and pseudodifferential operators

We consider multiparameter singular integrals and pseudodifferential operators acting on mixed-norm Bochner spaces Lp₁,…,pN(Rn₁×?×RnN;X) where X is a UMD Banach space satisfying Pisier's property (α). These geometric conditions are shown to be necessary. We obtain a vector-valued version of a result by R. Fefferman and Stein, also providing a new, inductive proof of the original scalar-valued theorem. Then we extend a result of Bourgain on singular integrals in UMD spaces with an unconditional basis to a multiparameter situation. Finally we carry over a result of Yamazaki on pseudodifferential operators to the Bochner space setting, improving the known vector-valued results even in the one-parameter case.     

On Finite Elements in Lattices of Regular Operators

Let E and F be vector lattices and the ordered space of all regular operators, which turns out to be a (Dedekind complete) vector lattice if F is Dedekind complete. We show that every lattice isomorphism from E onto F is a finite element in , and that if E is an AL-space and F is a Dedekind complete AM-space with an order unit, then each regular operator is a finite element in . We also investigate the finiteness of finite rank operators in Banach lattices. In particular, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for rank one operators to be finite elements in the vector lattice .

A characterization of the periods of periodic points of 1-norm nonexpansive maps

In this paper the set of minimal periods of periodic points of 1-norm nonexpansive maps is studied. This set is denoted by R(n). The main goal is to present a characterization of R(n) by arithmetical and combinatorial constraints. More precisely, it is shown that , where denotes the set of periods of restricted admissible arrays on 2n symbols. The important point of this equality is that is determined by arithmetical and combinatorial constraints only, and that it can be computed in finite time. By using this equality the set R(n) is computed for . Furthermore it is shown that the largest element of R(n) satisfies:      

On the structure of spaces of uniformly convergent Fourier series

We first give some new examples of translation invariant subspaces of C or U without local unconditional structure. In the second part, we prove that U and U ⁺ do not have the Gordon–Lewis property. In the third part, we show that absolutely summing operators from U to a K-convex space are compact. As a consequence, U and U ⁺ are not isomorphic. At last, we prove that U and U ⁺ do not have the Daugavet property.     

Invariant Subspaces of Positive Quasinilpotent Operators on Ordered Banach Spaces

In this paper we find invariant subspaces of certain positive quasinilpotent operators on Krein spaces and, more generally, on ordered Banach spaces with closed generating cones. In the later case, we use the method of minimal vectors. We present applications to Sobolev spaces, spaces of differentiable functions, and C*-algebras.

Gelfand Numbers of Identity Operators Between Symmetric Sequence Spaces

Complementing and generalizing classical as well as recent results, we prove asymptotically optimal formulas for the Gelfand and approximation numbers of identities Eⁿ ↪ Fⁿ, where Eⁿ and Fⁿ denote the n-th sections of symmetric quasi-Banach sequence spaces E and F satisfying certain interpolation assumptions. We illustrate our results by considering classical spaces such as Lorentz and Orlicz sequence spaces. Supported by DFG grant Hi 584/2-2.

Noncyclic mappings and best proximity pair results in Hilbert and uniformly convex Banach spaces

A new class of noncyclic mappings, called generalized noncyclic relatively nonexpansive, is introduced and used to study the existence of best proximity pairs in the setting of uniformly convex Banach spaces. We also obtain a weak convergence theorem for noncyclic relatively nonexpansive mappings in the setting of Hilbert spaces.     

New iterative schemes for asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive nonself-mappings in Banach spaces

In this paper, a new two-step iterative scheme with errors is introduced for two asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive nonself-mappings. Several convergence theorems are established in real Banach spaces and real uniformly convex Banach spaces. Our theorems improve and extend the results due to Thianwan [S. Thianwan, Common fixed point of new iterations for two asymptotically nonexpansive nonself-mappings in a Banach space, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 224 (2009) 685-695] and many other papers.     

Krivine's theorem and the indices of a Banach lattice

In this paper we shall present an exposition of a fundamental result due to J.L. Krivine about the local structure of a Banach lattice. In [3] Krivine proved that _p (1p) is finitely lattice representable in any infinite dimensional Banach lattice. At the end of the introduction of [3] it is then stated that a value of p for which this holds is given by, what we will call below, the upper index of the Banach lattice. He states that this follows from the methods of his paper and of the paper [5] of Maurey and Pisier. One can ask whether the theorem also holds for p equal to the lower index of the Banach lattice. At first glance this is not obvious from [3], since many theorems in [3] have as a hypothesis that the upper index of the Banach lattice is finite. This can e.g. also be seen from the book [6] of H.U. Schwarz, where only the result for the upper index is stated, while both indices are discussed. One purpose of this paper is clarify this point and to present an exposition of all the ingredients of a proof of Krivine's theorem for both the upper and lower index of a Banach lattice. We first gather some definitions and state some properties of the indices of a Banach lattice. For a discussion of these indices we refer to the book of Zaanen[7].     

A Hille–Yosida Type Theorem in Ordered Convex Cones

It is proved that the Laplace transform establishes a bijection between a class of resolvents (V_α)_α>0 and a class of semi-groups Φ of kernels, acting on an abstract ordered convex cone. The compactness (in some weak topology) of the closed convex envelopes of the trajectories: Φ(t, x), t > 0, resp. of (nV_n)^kx, n, k ∈ ȑ, plays a central role in these results.
