Continuous Frames, Function Spaces, and the Discretization Problem

A continuous frame is a family of vectors in a Hilbert space which allows reproductions of arbitrary elements by continuous superpositions. Associated to a given continuous frame we construct certain Banach spaces. Many classical function spaces can be identified as such spaces. We provide a general method to derive Banach frames and atomic decompositions for these Banach spaces by sampling the continuous frame. This is done by generalizing the coorbit space theory developed by Feichtinger and Gröchenig. As an important tool the concept of localization of frames is extended to continuous frames. As a byproduct we give a partial answer to the question raised by Ali, Antoine, and Gazeau whether any continuous frame admits a corresponding discrete realization generated by sampling.     

Summability and estimates for polynomials and multilinear mappings

In this paper we extend and generalize several known estimates for homogeneous polynomials and multilinear mappings on Banach spaces. Applying the theory of absolutely summing nonlinear mappings, we prove that estimates which are known for mappings on ?_p spaces in fact hold true for mappings on arbitrary Banach spaces.     

Generalized projections, decompositions, and the Pythagorean-type theorem in Banach spaces

In this paper, we investigate new properties of the generalized projection operators on convex closed cones in uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces; establish decompositions theorems for arbitrary elements both in primary and dual spaces; and prove the Banach space analogue of the Pythagorean-type theorem. Earlier, all these results were known only in Hilbert spaces.     

On simultaneous triangularization of collections of compact operators

In this paper we consider collections of compact (resp. C_p class) operators on arbitrary Banach (resp. Hilbert) spaces. For a subring R of reals, it is proved that an R-algebra of compact operators with spectra in R on an arbitrary Banach space is triangularizable if and only if every member of the algebra is triangularizable. It is proved that every triangularizability result on certain collections, e.g., semigroups, of compact operators on a complex Banach (resp. Hilbert) space gives rise to its counterpart on a real Banach (resp. Hilbert) space. We use our main results to present new proofs as well as extensions of certain classical theorems (e.g., those due to Kolchin, McCoy, and others) on arbitrary Banach (resp. Hilbert) spaces.     

Malliavin calculus and decoupling inequalities in Banach spaces

We develop a theory of Malliavin calculus for Banach space-valued random variables. Using radonifying operators instead of symmetric tensor products we extend the Wiener-Itô isometry to Banach spaces. In the white noise case we obtain two sided Lp-estimates for multiple stochastic integrals in arbitrary Banach spaces. It is shown that the Malliavin derivative is bounded on vector-valued Wiener-Itô chaoses. Our main tools are decoupling inequalities for vector-valued random variables. In the opposite direction we use Meyer's inequalities to give a new proof of a decoupling result for Gaussian chaoses in UMD Banach spaces.     

Curves with finite turn

In this paper we study the notions of finite turn of a curve and finite turn of tangents of a curve. We generalize the theory (previously developed by Alexandrov, Pogorelov, and Reshetnyak) of angular turn in Euclidean spaces to curves with values in arbitrary Banach spaces. In particular, we manage to prove the equality of angular turn and angular turn of tangents in Hilbert spaces. One of the implications was only proved in the finite dimensional context previously, and equivalence of finiteness of turn with finiteness of turn of tangents in arbitrary Banach spaces. We also develop an auxiliary theory of one-sidedly smooth curves with values in Banach spaces. We use analytic language and methods to provide analogues of angular theorems. In some cases our approach yields stronger results (for example Corollary 5.12 concerning the permanent properties of curves with finite turn) than those that were proved previously with geometric methods in Euclidean spaces.

Towards strong Banach property (T) for SL(3,ℝ)

We prove that SL(3, ?) has Strong Banach property (T) in Lafforgue’s sense with respect to the Banach spaces that are θ > 0 interpolation spaces (for the complex interpolation method) between an arbitrary Banach space and a Banach space with sufficiently good type and cotype. As a consequence, every action of SL(3, ?) or its lattices by affine isometries on such a Banach space X has a fixed point, and the expanders contructed from SL(3, ?) do not admit a coarse embedding into X. We also prove a quantitative decay of matrix coefficients (Howe-Moore property) for representations with small exponential growth of SL(3, ?) on X.     

NOTE ON SOME CHARACTERISATIONS OF UNBOUNDED WEAKLY COMPACT OPERATORS

Abstract

Some well known properties of bounded weakly compact operators in Banach spaces are shown to be valid for arbitrary operators in normed spaces.

Evolution semigroups and time operators on Banach spaces

We present new general methods to obtain shift representation of evolution semigroups defined on Banach spaces. We introduce the notion of time operator associated with a generalized shift on a Banach space and give some conditions under which time operators can be defined on an arbitrary Banach space. We also tackle the problem of scaling of time operators and obtain a general result about the existence of time operators on Banach spaces satisfying some geometric conditions. The last part of the paper contains some examples of explicit constructions of time operators on function spaces.     

On the instability of non-semi-Fredholm operators under compact perturbations

The stability of several natural sets of the non-semi-Fredholm operators in a separable Hilbert space under compact perturbations studied by R. Bouldin. (The instability of non-semi-Fredholm operators under compact perturbations, J. Math. Anal. Appl.87 (1982), 632–638.) The aim of the present article is to study this problem in arbitrary Banach spaces. We also derive a curious characterization of separable Banach spaces.     

Every weakly compact set can be uniformly embedded into a reflexive Banach space

Based on an application of the Davis-Figiel-Johnson-Pelzyski procedure, this note shows that every weakly compact subset of a Banach space can be uniformly embedded into a reflexive Banach space. As its application, we present the recent renorming theorems for reflexive spaces of Odell- Schlumprecht and Hajek-Johanis can be extended and localized to weakly compact convex subsets of an arbitrary Banach space.     

Separable determination of integrability and minimality of the Clarke subdifferential mapping

In this paper we show that the study of integrability and -representability of Lipschitz functions defined on arbitrary Banach spaces reduces to the study of these properties on separable Banach spaces.

     

On Birkhoff–James orthogonality preservers between real non-isometric Banach spaces

We present a short proof for the fact that if smooth real Banach spaces of dimension three or higher have isomorphic Birkhoff–James orthogonality structures, then they are (linearly) isometric to each other. This generalizes results of Koldobsky and of Wójcik. Moreover, in an arbitrary dimension, we construct examples of non-isometric pairs of non-smooth real Banach spaces that admit norm preserving homogeneous bicontinuous Birkhoff–James orthogonality preservers among them.     

Symplectic leaves in real banach Lie–Poisson spaces

We present several large classes of real Banach Lie–Poisson spaces whose characteristic distributions are integrable, the integral manifolds being symplectic leaves just as in finite dimensions. We also investigate when these leaves are embedded submanifolds or when they have K?hler structures. Our results apply to the real Banach Lie–Poisson spaces provided by the self-adjoint parts of preduals of arbitrary W*-algebras, as well as of certain operator ideals.

Continuous bijective mappings in topological and Banach manifolds

Continuity and monotonicity of the inverse operator is investigated for the case when the original operator is a bijective mapping acting in topological manifolds or in Banach spaces. For finite-dimensional topological manifolds, the inverse operator is always continuous; for Banach spaces, continuity of the inverse operator is guaranteed only if the space is finite-dimensional. For an arbitrary differentiable bijective mapping acting in the Euclidean space, the Jacobian preserves its sign.Translated from Vychislitel'naya i Prikladnaya Matematika, No. 57, pp. 117–124, 1985;     

A strong open mapping theorem for surjections from cones onto Banach spaces

We show that a continuous additive positively homogeneous map from a closed not necessarily proper cone in a Banach space onto a Banach space is an open map precisely when it is surjective. This generalization of the usual Open Mapping Theorem for Banach spaces is then combined with Michael's Selection Theorem to yield the existence of a continuous bounded positively homogeneous right inverse of such a surjective map; a strong version of the usual Open Mapping Theorem is then a special case. As another consequence, an improved version of the analogue of Andô's Theorem for an ordered Banach space is obtained for a Banach space that is, more generally than in Andô's Theorem, a sum of possibly uncountably many closed not necessarily proper cones. Applications are given for a (pre)-ordered Banach space and for various spaces of continuous functions taking values in such a Banach space or, more generally, taking values in an arbitrary Banach space that is a finite sum of closed not necessarily proper cones.     

A Banach couple is determined by the collection of its interpolation spaces

We prove that an arbitrary Banach couple is uniquely determined by the collection of all its interpolation spaces, which extends a result by N. Aronszajn and E. Gagliardo.

     

Implicit functions from topological vector spaces to Banach spaces

We prove implicit function theorems for mappings on topological vector spaces over valued fields. In the real and complex cases, we obtain implicit function theorems for mappings from arbitrary (not necessarily locally convex) topological vector spaces to Banach spaces.
