On the Moore-Penrose inverse, EP Banach space operators, and EP Banach algebra elements

The main concern of this note is the Moore-Penrose inverse in the context of Banach spaces and algebras. Especially attention will be given to a particular class of elements with the aforementioned inverse, namely EP Banach space operators and Banach algebra elements, which will be studied and characterized extending well-known results obtained in the frame of Hilbert space operators and C^∗-algebra elements.     

On the simplicial cohomology of Banach operator algebras

We investigate the simplicial cohomology of certain Banach operator algebras. The two main examples considered are the Banach algebra of all bounded operators on a Banach space and its ideal of approximable operators. Sufficient conditions will be given forcing Banach algebras of this kind to be simplicially trivial.     

Every Banach Space is Reflexive

The title above is wrong, because the strong dual of a Banach space is too strong to assert that the natural correspondence between a space and its bidual is an isomorphism. However, for many applications it suffices to replace the norm on the first dual by the weak*-structure in order to solve the non-reflexiveness problem [1]. But in this way, only the original vector space is recovered by taking the second dual. In this work we introduce a suitable numerical structure on vector spaces such that Banach balls, or more precisely totally convex modules, arise naturally in duality, namely as a category of Eilenberg–Moore algebras. This numerical structure naturally overlies the weak*-topology on the algebraic dual, so the entire Banach space can be reconstructed as a second dual. Moreover, the isomorphism between the original space and its bidual is the unit of an adjunction between the two-dualisation functors. Notice that the weak*-topology is normable only if it lives on a finite dimensional space; in that case the original space is trivial as well, hence reflexive. So the overlying numerical structure should be something more general than a norm or a seminorm and thus approach theory [2, 3] enters the picture.     

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.     

On polynomially bounded operators acting on a Banach space

By the Von Neumann inequality every contraction on a Hilbert space is polynomially bounded. A simple example shows that this result does not extend to Banach space contractions. In this paper, we give general conditions under which an arbitrary Banach space contraction is polynomially bounded. These conditions concern the thinness of the spectrum and the behaviour of the resolvent or the sequence of negative powers. To do this we use techniques from harmonic analysis, in particular, results concerning thin sets such as Helson sets, Kronecker sets and sets that satisfy spectral synthesis.     

Banach f-algebras and Banach lattice algebras with unit

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a Banach lattice algebra to be representable as a Banach lattice of continuous realvalued functions on a compact space, endowed with the pointwise defined multiplication. Moreover, we give a characterisation of Banach lattice algebras possessing an algebraic unit.     

Coefficient quantization for frames in Banach spaces

Let (ei) be a fundamental system of a Banach space. We consider the problem of approximating linear combinations of elements of this system by linear combinations using quantized coefficients. We will concentrate on systems which are possibly redundant. Our model for this situation will be frames in Banach spaces.     

Confined Banach spaces

We discuss smoothness of theWeyl functional calculus and use it to prove that every C*-algebra is a confined Banach space. Received: 17 August 2005     

Null sets and games in Banach spaces

The notion of Aronszajn-null sets generalizes the notion of Lebesgue measure zero in the Euclidean space to infinite dimensional Banach spaces. We present a game-theoretic approach to Aronszajn-null sets, establish its basic properties, and discuss some ensuing open problems.     

Evolution Problems involving non-stationary Operators between two Banach Spaces I. Existence and Uniqueness Theorems

Synopsis

(for ‘Evolution Problems involving non-stationary Operators between two Banach Spaces I-II)

In this series of two papers the initial-value problem [B(t)u(t)' = A(t)u(t), Bu(0) = y, with A = A(t) and B = B(t) time-varying operators from one Banach space X to another Banach space Y, and y an arbitrary element of Y, is considered. By making use of the theory of B-evolutions and by integrating certain temporally inhomogeneous equations, a unique solution is obtained for any y in Y. The solution is formulated explicitly in terms of a certain solution operator which involves the B(t)-evolution generated by the closed pair >A(t),B(t)< of operators. Certain properties of the solution operator are also studied. The well-known results, obtained by making use of semigroup theory, for the evolution problem [u(t)]' = A(t)u(t), u(0) = u₀, where A is a closed operator in a Banach space with dense domain, may also be derived from our results.     

Interpolation of Banach algebras and tensor products of Banach couples

Using tensor products of Banach couples we study a class of interpolation functors with the property that to every Banach couple of Banach algebras they give an interpolation space which is a Banach algebra. For the real θ,1-method we give a complete answer to the question of when the interpolation space is unital.     

Isometric Equivalence of Certain Operators on Banach Spaces

A pair of operators on a Banach space X are isometrically equivalent if they are intertwined by a surjective isometry of X. We investigate the isometric equivalence problem for pairs of operators on specific types of Banach spaces. We study weighted shifts on symmetric sequence spaces, elementary operators acting on an ideal I of Hilbert space operators, and composition operators on the Bloch space. This last case requires an extension of known results about surjective isometries of the Bloch space.     

The free Banach lattice generated by a Banach space

The free Banach lattice over a Banach space is introduced and analyzed. This generalizes the concept of free Banach lattice over a set of generators, and allows us to study the Nakano property and the density character of non-degenerate intervals on these spaces, answering some recent questions of B. de Pagter and A.W. Wickstead. Moreover, an example of a Banach lattice which is weakly compactly generated as a lattice but not as a Banach space is exhibited, thus answering a question of J. Diestel.

Lindelöf type of generalization of separability in Banach spaces

We will introduce the countable separation property (CSP) of Banach spaces X, which is defined as follows: X has CSP if each family E of closed linear subspaces of X whose intersection is the zero space contains a countable subfamily E₀ with the same intersection. All separable Banach spaces have CSP and plenty of examples of non-separable CSP spaces are provided. Connections of CSP with Marku?evi?-bases, Corson property and related geometric issues are discussed.     

Norm attaining operators and renormings of Banach spaces

We define two geometric concepts of a Banach space, property α and β, which generalize in a certain way the geometric situation ofl andc _o. These properties have been used by J. Lindenstrauss and J. Partington in the study of norm attaining operators. J. Partington has shown that every Banach space may (3+ε)-equivalently be renormed to have property β. We show that many Banach spaces (e.g., every WCG space) may (3+ε)-equivalently be renormed to have property α. However, an example due to S. Shelah shows that not every Banach space is isomorphic to a Banach space with property α.     

The stability of Banach frames in Banach spaces

In this paper, we give some equivalent conditions on a Banach frame for a Banach space by using the pseudoinverse operator. We also consider the stability of a Banach frame for a Banach space X with respect to Xd or an Xd-frame for a Banach space X under perturbation. These results generalize and improve the related works of Balan, Casazza, Christensen, Stoeva and Jian et al.     

Strongly relatively nonexpansive sequences in Banach spaces and applications

We introduce the concept of a strongly relatively nonexpansive sequence in a Banach space and investigate its properties. Then we apply our results to the problem of approximating a common fixed point of a countable family of relatively nonexpansive mappings in a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space.      

Zero sums of idempotents in Banach algebras

The problem treated in this paper is the following.Let p ₁,...,p _k be idempotents in a Banach algebra B, and assume p ₁+...+p _k =0.Does it follow that p _j =0,j=1,..., k? For important classes of Banach algebras the answer turns out to be positive; in general, however, it is negative. A counterexample is given involving five nonzero bounded projections on infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space. The number five is critical here: in Banach algebras nontrivial zero sums of four idempotents are impossible. In a purely algebraic context (no norm), the situation is different. There the critical number is four.     

Orthogonally Complemented Subspaces in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we extend the Moreau (Riesz) decomposition theorem from Hilbert spaces to Banach spaces. Criteria for a closed subspace to be (strongly) orthogonally complemented in a Banach space are given. We prove that every closed subspace of a Banach space X with dim X ≥ 3 (dim X ≤ 2) is strongly orthognally complemented if and only if the Banach space X is isometric to a Hilbert space (resp. strictly convex), which is complementary to the well-known result saying that every closed subspace of a Banach space X is topologically complemented if and only if the Banach space X is isomorphic to a Hilbert space.
