Ball-covering property of Banach spaces that is not preserved under linear isomorphisms

By a ball-covering B of a Banach space X, we mean that it is a collection of open balls off the origin whose union contains the sphere of the unit ball of X. The space X is said to have a ball-covering property, if it admits a ball-covering consisting of countably many balls. This paper, by constructing the equivalent norms on l~∞, shows that ball-covering property is not invariant under isomorphic mappings, though it is preserved under such mappings if X is a Gateaux differentiability space; presents that this property of X is not heritable by its closed subspaces; and the property is also not preserved under quotient mappings.     

Geometry of D’Atri spaces of type k

A Riemannian n-dimensional manifold M is a D’Atri space of type k (or k-D’Atri space), 1 ≤ k ≤ n ? 1, if the geodesic symmetries preserve the k-th elementary symmetric functions of the eigenvalues of the shape operators of all small geodesic spheres in M. Symmetric spaces are k-D’Atri spaces for all possible k ≥ 1 and the property 1-D’Atri is the D’Atri condition in the usual sense. In this article we study some aspects of the geometry of k-D’Atri spaces, in particular those related to properties of Jacobi operators along geodesics. We show that k-D’Atri spaces for all k = 1, . . ., l satisfy that ${{\rm{tr}}(R_{v}^{k})}$ , v a unit vector in TM, is invariant under the geodesic flow for all k = 1, . . ., l. Further, if M is k-D’Atri for all k = 1, . . ., n ? 1, then the eigenvalues of Jacobi operators are constant functions along geodesics. In the case of spaces of Iwasawa type, we show that k-D’Atri spaces for all k = 1, . . ., n ? 1 are exactly the symmetric spaces of noncompact type. Moreover, in the class of Damek-Ricci spaces, the symmetric spaces of rank one are characterized as those that are 3-D’Atri.     

Grothendieck spaces with the Dunford–Pettis property

Banach spaces which are Grothendieck spaces with the Dunford–Pettis property (briefly, GDP) are classical. A systematic treatment of GDP-Fréchet spaces occurs in Bonet and Ricker (Positivity 11:77–93, 2007). This investigation is continued here for locally convex Hausdorff spaces. The product and (most) inductive limits of GDP-space are again GDP-spaces. Also, every complete injective space is a GDP-space. For \({p\in \{0\}\cup[1,\infty)}\) it is shown that the classical co-echelon spaces k _p (V) and \({K_p(\overline{V})}\) are GDP-spaces if and only if they are Montel. On the other hand, \({K_\infty(\overline{V})}\) is always a GDP-space and k _∞(V) is a GDP-space whenever its (Fréchet) predual, i.e., the Köthe echelon space λ ₁(A), is distinguished.     

A property of the β-Cauchy-type integral with continuous density

  A theorem from the classical complex analysis proved by Davydov in 1949 is extended to the theory of solution of a special case of the Beltrami equation in the z-complex plane (i.e., null solutions of the differential operator ). It is proved that if γ is a rectifiable Jordan closed curve and f is a continuous complex-valued function on γ such that the integral

On a Volume Parameter of Banach spaces

Having discussed the parameter in [5] we introduce in this paper a volume parameter We give some properties of it, and obtain that P_3(x)<4 if X is 2UR, and that X is a super-reflexive Banach space if p_3(x)<4.     

A Banach–Zarecki Theorem for functions with values in Banach spaces

A Banach–Zarecki Theorem for a Banach space-valued function  \(F : [0,1] \rightarrow X\) with compact range is presented. We define the strong absolute continuity ( \(sAC_{||.||_{F}}\) ) and the bounded variation ( \(BV_{||.||_{F}}\) ) of \(F\) with respect to the Minkowski functional \(||.||_{F}\) associated to the closed absolutely convex hull \(C_{F}\) of \(F([0,1])\) . It is proved that \(F\) is \(sAC_{||.||_{F}}\) if and only if \(F\) is \(BV_{||.||_{F}}\) , weak continuous on \([0,1]\) and satisfies the weak property \((N)\) .     

On the ℂ-differentiability of mappings of Banach spaces

We study the monogeneity conditions for -differentiable mappings of domains of a Banach space and establish criteria of -differentiability of a mapping at a point.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 46, No. 10, pp. 1336–1342, October, 1994.     

A construction of ℒ∞-spaces and related Banach spacesand related Banach spaces

Let λ>1. We prove that every separable Banach space E can be embedded isometrically into a separable ℒ _∞ ^λ -spaceX such thatX/E has the RNP and the Schur property. This generalizes a result in [2]. Various choices ofE allow us to answer several questions raised in the literature. In particular, takingE = ℓ₂, we obtain a ℒ _∞ ^λ -spaceX with the RNP such that the projective tensor product containsc ₀ and hence fails the RNP. TakingE=L ¹, we obtain a ℒ _∞ ^λ -space failing the RNP but nevertheless not containingc ₀.     

Geometry of the Funk metric on Weil–Petersson spaces

We discuss the Funk function $F(x,y)$ on a Teichmüller space with its Weil–Petersson metric $(\mathcal{T },d)$ introduced in Yamada (Convex bodies in Euclidean and Weil–Petersson geometries, 2011), which was originally studied for an open convex subset in a Euclidean space by Funk [cf. Papadopoulos and Troyanov (Math Proc Cambridge Philos Soc 147:419–437, 2009)]. $F(x,y)$ is an asymmetric distance and invariant by the action of the mapping class group. Unlike the original one, $F(x,y)$ is not always convex in $y$ with $x$ fixed (Corollary 2.11, Theorem 5.1). For each pseudo-Anosov mapping class $g$ and a point $x \in \mathcal{T }$ , there exists $E$ such that for all $n\not = 0$ , $ \log |n| -E \le F(x,g^n.x) \le \log |n|+E$ (Corollary 2.10), while $F(x,g^n.x)$ is bounded if $g$ is a Dehn twist (Proposition 2.13). The translation length is defined by $|g|_F=\inf _{x \in \mathcal{T }}F(x,g.x)$ for a map $g: \mathcal{T }\rightarrow \mathcal{T }$ . If $g$ is a pseudo-Anosov mapping class, there exists $Q$ such that for all $n \not = 0$ , $\log |n| -Q \le |g^n|_F \le \log |n| + Q.$ For sufficiently large $n$ , $|g^n|_F >0$ and the infimum is achieved. If $g$ is a Dehn twist, then $|g^n|_F=0$ for each $n$ (Theorem 2.16). Some geodesics in $(\mathcal{T },d)$ are geodesics in terms of $F$ as well. We find a decomposition of $\mathcal{T }$ by sets, each of which is foliated by those geodesics (Theorem 4.10).     

Analog of Borsuk’s problem on Banach spaces

An analog of the well-known problem of partition of figures into parts with less diameter in Banach spaces is studied. The sufficient conditions for the sets to belong to the class of Borsuk’s sets in multidimensional Banach spaces are first obtained.     

On property (β) in Banach lattices, Calderón-Lozanowskii and Orlicz-Lorentz spaces

The geometry of Calderón-Lozanowskii spaces, which are strongly connected with the interpolation theory, was essentially developing during the last few years (see [4, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17]). On the other hand many authors investigated property (β) in Banach spaces (see [7, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26]). The first aim of this paper is to study property (β) in Banach function lattices. Namely a criterion for property (β) in Banach function lattice is presented. In particular we get that in Banach function lattice property (β) implies uniform monotonicity. Moreover, property (β) in generalized Calderón-Lozanowskii function spaces is studied. Finally, it is shown that in Orlicz-Lorentz function spaces property (β) and uniform convexity coincide.
