The coarse geometric Novikov conjecture and uniform convexity

The coarse geometric Novikov conjecture provides an algorithm to determine when the higher index of an elliptic operator on a noncompact space is nonzero. The purpose of this paper is to prove the coarse geometric Novikov conjecture for spaces which admit a (coarse) uniform embedding into a uniformly convex Banach space.     

Property A and Uniform Embeddability of Metric Spaces Under Decompositions of Finite Depth

Property A and uniform embeddability are notions of metric geometry which imply the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture and the Novikov conjecture. In this paper, the authors prove the permanence properties of property A and uniform embeddability of metric spaces under large scale decompositions of finite depth.

Uniform Homeomorphisms of Unit Spheres and Property H of Lebesgue–Bochner Function Spaces

Assume that the unit spheres of Banach spaces X and Y are uniformly homeomorphic.Then we prove that all unit spheres of the Lebesgue–Bochner function spaces L_p(μ, X) and L_q(μ, Y)are mutually uniformly homeomorphic where 1 ≤ p, q ∞. As its application, we show that if a Banach space X has Property H introduced by Kasparov and Yu, then the space L_p(μ, X), 1 ≤ p ∞,also has Property H.

Operator norm localization for linear groups and its application to K-theory

We prove the operator norm localization property for linear groups. As an application we prove the coarse Novikov conjecture for box spaces of a linear group.     

Hyperbolic groups have finite asymptotic dimension

We detail a proof of a result of Gromov, that hyperbolic groups (and metric spaces) have finite asymptotic dimension. This fact has become important in recent work on the Novikov conjecture.

     

Frame expansions in separable Banach spaces

Banach frames are defined by straightforward generalization of (Hilbert space) frames. We characterize Banach frames (and Xd-frames) in separable Banach spaces, and relate them to series expansions in Banach spaces. In particular, our results show that we can not expect Banach frames to share all the nice properties of frames in Hilbert spaces.     

The coarse geometric Novikov conjecture for subspaces of non-positively curved manifolds

In this paper, we prove the coarse geometric Novikov conjecture for metric spaces with bounded geometry which admit a coarse embedding into a simply connected complete Riemannian manifold of non-positive sectional curvature.     

On quantification of weak sequential completeness

We consider several quantities related to weak sequential completeness of a Banach space and prove some of their properties in general and in L-embedded Banach spaces, improving in particular an inequality of G. Godefroy, N. Kalton and D. Li. We show some examples witnessing natural limits of our positive results, in particular, we construct a separable Banach space X with the Schur property that cannot be renormed to have a certain quantitative form of weak sequential completeness, thus providing a partial answer to a question of G. Godefroy.     

Hyperbolic metric spaces and the exotic cohomology Novikov conjecture

A geometric version of the Novikov conjecture states that certain cohomology classes of a complete metric space arise from an ideal boundary. We prove this for spaces hyperbolic in the sense of Gromov.     

Even infinite-dimensional real Banach spaces

This article is a continuation of a paper of the first author [V. Ferenczi, Uniqueness of complex structure and real hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces, Adv. Math. 213 (1) (2007) 462–488] about complex structures on real Banach spaces. We define a notion of even infinite-dimensional real Banach space, and prove that there exist even spaces, including HI or unconditional examples from [V. Ferenczi, Uniqueness of complex structure and real hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces, Adv. Math. 213 (1) (2007) 462–488] and C(K) examples due to Plebanek [G. Plebanek, A construction of a Banach space C(K) with few operators, Topology Appl. 143 (2004) 217–239]. We extend results of [V. Ferenczi, Uniqueness of complex structure and real hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces, Adv. Math. 213 (1) (2007) 462–488] relating the set of complex structures up to isomorphism on a real space to a group associated to inessential operators on that space, and give characterizations of even spaces in terms of this group. We also generalize results of [V. Ferenczi, Uniqueness of complex structure and real hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces, Adv. Math. 213 (1) (2007) 462–488] about totally incomparable complex structures to essentially incomparable complex structures, while showing that the complex version of a space defined by S. Argyros and A. Manoussakis [S. Argyros, A. Manoussakis, An indecomposable and unconditionally saturated Banach space, Studia Math. 159 (1) (2003) 1–32] provides examples of essentially incomparable complex structures which are not totally incomparable.     

Locally uniformly rotund points in convex-transitive Banach spaces

Almost transitive superreflexive Banach spaces have been considered in [C. Finet, Uniform convexity properties of norms on superreflexive Banach spaces, Israel J. Math. 53 (1986) 81–92], where it is shown that they are uniformly convex and uniformly smooth. We characterize such spaces as those convex transitive Banach spaces satisfying conditions much weaker than that of uniform convexity (for example, that of having a weakly locally uniformly rotund point). We note that, in general, the property of convex transitivity for a Banach space is weaker than that of almost transitivity.     

Distortion theorems for biholomorphic convex mappings in Banach spaces*

In this article, we give some distortion theorems for biholomorphic convex mappings in Banach spaces and Hilbert spaces. In particular, we prove that the conjecture of Hamada and Kohr is true in Banach spaces.     

The integral Novikov conjectures for S-arithmetic groups I

We prove the integral Novikov conjecture for torsion free S-arithmetic subgroups Γ of linear reductive algebraic groups G of rank 0 over a global field k. They form a natural class of groups and are in general not discrete subgroups of Lie groups with finitely many connected components. Since many natural S-arithmetic subgroups contain torsion elements, we also prove a generalized integral Novikov conjecture for S-arithmetic subgroups of such algebraic groups, which contain torsion elements. These S-arithmetic subgroups also provide a natural class of groups with cofinite universal spaces for proper actions. Partially Supported by NSF grants DMS 0405884 and 0604878.     

On complemented subspaces of sums and products of Banach spaces

It is proved that there exist complemented subspaces of countable topological products (locally convex direct sums) of Banach spaces which cannot be represented as topological products (locally convex direct sums) of Banach spaces.

     

Viscosity approximation methods for a finite family of nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces

By using viscosity approximation methods for a finite family of nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces, some sufficient and necessary conditions for the iterative sequence to converging to a common fixed point are obtained. The results presented in the paper extend and improve some recent results in [H.K. Xu, Viscosity approximation methods for nonexpansive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 298 (2004) 279-291; H.K. Xu, Remark on an iterative method for nonexpansive mappings, Comm. Appl. Nonlinear Anal. 10 (2003) 67-75; H.H. Bauschke, The approximation of fixed points of compositions of nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 202 (1996) 150-159; B. Halpern, Fixed points of nonexpansive maps, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 73 (1967) 957-961; J.S. Jung, Iterative approaches to common fixed points of nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 302 (2005) 509-520; P.L.

Convergence theorems for λ-strict pseudo-contractions in q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces

In this paper, we continue to discuss the properties of iterates generated by a strict pseudo- contraction or a finite family of strict pseudo-contractions in a real q-uniformly smooth Banach space. The results presented in this paper are interesting extensions and improvements upon those known ones of Marino and Xu [Marino, G., Xu, H. K.： Weak and strong convergence theorems for strict pseudo-contractions in Hilbert spaces. J. Math. Anal. Appl., 324, 336-349 （2007）]. In order to get a strong convergence theorem, we modify the normal Mann＇s iterative algorithm by using a suitable convex combination of a fixed vector and a sequence in C. This result extends a recent result of Kim and Xu [Kim, T. H., Xu, H. K.： Strong convergence of modified Mann iterations. Nonl. Anal., 61, 51- 60 （2005）] both from nonexpansive mappings to λ-strict pseudo-contractions and from Hilbert spaces to q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces.
