Operator Ideals,Orthonormal Systems and Lacunary Sets

Given an orthonormal system B in some L²(u) we consider the operator ideals II_B and T_B of B-summing and B-type operators and some related ideals. We characterize by certain weak compactness properties when II_B is equal to the operator ideal II₂ of 2-summing operators. In lose that B consists of characters of a compact abelian group we characterize when II_B coincides with the operator ideal II_γ of Gauss-summing operators and when T_B coincides with the operator ideal II_p of type-2 operators. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for Fig to contain the operator ideal II_p of p-summing operators (2 < p < ∞) and for T_B to contain the operator ideal Γ_p of p - factorable operators.     

Diagonal multilinear operators on Köthe sequence spaces

We analyse the interplay between maximal/minimal/adjoint ideals of multilinear operators (between sequence spaces) and their associated Köthe sequence spaces. We establish relationships with spaces of multipliers and apply these results to describe diagonal multilinear operators from Lorentz sequence spaces. We also define and study some properties of the ideal of (E, p)-summing multilinear mappings, a natural extension of the linear ideal of absolutely (E, p)-summing operators.     

Grothendieck’s theorem for operator spaces

We prove several versions of Grothendieck’s Theorem for completely bounded linear maps T:E→F ^*, when E and F are operator spaces. We prove that if E, F are C ^*-algebras, of which at least one is exact, then every completely bounded T:E→F ^* can be factorized through the direct sum of the row and column Hilbert operator spaces. Equivalently T can be decomposed as T=T _r +T _c where T _r (resp. T _c ) factors completely boundedly through a row (resp. column) Hilbert operator space. This settles positively (at least partially) some earlier conjectures of Effros-Ruan and Blecher on the factorization of completely bounded bilinear forms on C ^*-algebras. Moreover, our result holds more generally for any pair E, F of “exact” operator spaces. This yields a characterization of the completely bounded maps from a C ^*-algebra (or from an exact operator space) to the operator Hilbert space OH. As a corollary we prove that, up to a complete isomorphism, the row and column Hilbert operator spaces and their direct sums are the only operator spaces E such that both E and its dual E ^* are exact. We also characterize the Schur multipliers which are completely bounded from the space of compact operators to the trace class. Oblatum 31-I-2002 & 3-IV-2002?Published online: 17 June 2002     

Products of operator ideals and extensions of Schatten classes

We study relations between Schatten classes and product operator ideals, where one of the factors is the Banach ideal Π_E,2 of (E, 2)‐summing operators, and where E is a Banach sequence space with ?₂ ? E. We show that for a large class of 2‐convex symmetric Banach sequence spaces the product ideal Π_E,2 ○ ??^a_q,s is an extension of the Schatten class ??_F with a suitable Lorentz space F. As an application, we obtain that if 2 ≤ p, q < ∞, 1/r = 1/p + 1/q and E is a 2‐convex symmetric space with fundamental function λ_E(n) ≈? n^1/p, then Π_E,2 ○ Π_q is an extension of the Schatten class ??r,q (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The smooth Banach submanifold B*(E, F) in B(E, F)

Let E,F be two Banach spaces,B(E,F),B+(E,F),Φ(E,F),SΦ(E,F) and R(E,F) be bounded linear,double splitting,Fredholm,semi-Frdholm and finite rank operators from E into F,respectively. Let Σ be any one of the following sets:{T ∈Φ(E,F):Index T=constant and dim N(T)=constant},{T ∈ SΦ(E,F):either dim N(T)=constant< ∞ or codim R(T)=constant< ∞} and {T ∈ R(E,F):Rank T=constant< ∞}. Then it is known that Σ is a smooth submanifold of B(E,F) with the tangent space TAΣ={B ∈ B(E,F):BN(A)-R(A) } for any A ∈Σ. However,for ...     

Operator Ideals Generalizing the Ideal of Strictly Singular Operators

It is well-known that an operator T ∈ L(E, F) is strictly singular if ∥T_x∥≧λ∥x∥ on a subspace Z ? E implies dim Z < + ∞. The present paper deals with ideals of operators defined by a condition — ∥T_x∥≧λ∥x∥ on an infinite-dimensional subspace Z ? E implies Z ? F — F being a ?quasi-injective”? class of BANACH spaces.     

A lattice approach to narrow operators

It is known that if a rearrangement invariant function space E on [0,1] has an unconditional basis then each linear continuous operator on E is a sum of two narrow operators. On the other hand, the sum of two narrow operators in L₁ is narrow. To find a general approach to these results, we extend the notion of a narrow operator to the case when the domain space is a vector lattice. Our main result asserts that the set N_r(E, F) of all narrow regular operators is a band in the vector lattice L_r(E, F) of all regular operators from a non-atomic order continuous Banach lattice E to an order continuous Banach lattice F. The band generated by the disjointness preserving operators is the orthogonal complement to N_r(E, F) in L_r(E, F). As a consequence we obtain the following generalization of the Kalton-Rosenthal theorem: every regular operator T : E → F from a non-atomic Banach lattice E to an order continuous Banach lattice F has a unique representation as T = T_D + T_N where T_D is a sum of an order absolutely summable family of disjointness preserving operators and T_N is narrow.

On the class of weak almost limited operators

Abstract

We introduce and study the class of weak almost limited operators. We establish a characterization of pairs of Banach lattices E, F for which every positive weak almost limited operator T : E→F is almost limited (resp. almost Dunford- Pettis). As consequences, we will give some interesting results.     

A Rank Theorem of Operators between Banach Spaces

Suppose that E and F are two Banach spaces and that B(E, F) is the space of all bounded linear operators from E to F. Let T ₀∈B(E, F) with a generalized inverse T ₀ ⁺∈B(F, E). This paper shows that, for every T∈B(E, F) with ‖T ₀ ⁺ (T−T ₀)‖<1, B ≡ (I + T ₀ ⁺(T−T ₀))⁻¹ T ₀ ⁺ is a generalized inverse of T if and only if (I−T ₀ ⁺ T ₀)N(T) = N(T ₀), where N(·) stands for the null space of the operator inside the parenthesis. This result improves a useful theorem of Nashed and Cheng and further shows that a lemma given by Nashed and Cheng is valid in the case where T ₀ is a semi-Fredholm operator but not in general.     

Banach ideals of operators with applications to the finite dimensional structure of Banach spaces

We present a few applications of the theory of Banach ideals of operators. In particular, we give operator characterizations of the ℒ _p spaces, compute the relative projection constant of isometric embeddings of Hilbert spaces inL _p -spaces, and show that Π₁ (E, F), the space of absolutely summing operators, is reflexive ifE andF are reflexive andE has the approximation property.

Constants of Derivation and Differential Ideals

ABSTRACT

Let R be a differential domain finitely generated over a differential field F of characteristic 0. Let C be the subfield of differential constants of F. This paper investigates conditions on differential ideals of R that are necessary or sufficient to guarantee that C is also the set of constants of differentiation of the quotient field, E, of R. In particular, when C is algebraically closed and R has a finite number of height one differential prime ideals, there are no new constants in E. An example where F is infinitely generated over C shows the converse is false. If F is finitely generated over C and R is a polynomial ring over F, sufficient conditions on F are given so that no new constants in E does imply only finitely many height one prime differential ideals in R. In particular, F can be Q¯(T) where T is a finite transcendence set.

     

The unique rank property among gabriel localizations

It is not uncommon for rings to have Gabriel localizations which do not possess the unique rank (UR) property although the rings themselves do have UR. We show that if F is a Gabriel filter of right ideals on a ring R and R_F is the corresponding Gabriel localization, then free R_F?modules of ranks m and n are isomorphic if and only if some F-dense submodule of (R/T_f(R))^m is isomorphic to some F-dense submodule of (R/T_F(R))ⁿ, where T_F(R) is the F-torsion ideal of R.     

A Dodds–Fremlin Property for Asplund and Radon–Nikodým Operators

Let E and F be Banach lattices and let S, T: E→ F be positive operators such that 0≤ S≤ T. It is shown that if T is a Radon–Nikodym operator, F has order continuous norm and E and F both have (Schaefer's) property (P), then S is a Radon–Nikodym operator; also, if T is an Asplund operator, E' has order continuous norm and E has property (P), then S is an Asplund operator.     

Some Applications of Rademacher Sequences in Banach Lattices

We give several applications of Rademacher sequences in abstract Banach lattices. We characterise those Banach lattices with an atomic dual in terms of weak* sequential convergence. We give an alternative treatment of results of Rosenthal, generalising a classical result of Pitt, on the compactness of operators from L^p into L^q. Finally we generalise earlier work of ours by showing that, amongst Banach lattices F with an order continuous norm, those having the property that the linear span of the positive compact operators fromE into F is complete under the regular norm for all Banach lattices E are precisely the atomic lattices.     

Closed operator ideals and interpolation

We consider closed operator ideals, which mean operator ideals A whose components A(E, F) are closed subspaces of the space L(E, F). Using interpolation techniques, we obtain general results on products of closed ideals. Furthermore, we investigate which closed ideals A possess the factorization property, i.e., each operator of A factors through a space with the related property “A”. Applications of these results yield the answer to some open questions in ideal theory.     

The Order Properties of r-compact Operators on Banach Lattices

We present here that F（E,F）, the space of all r-compact operators from E into F, is a generalised sublattice of L^r（E, F） for arbitary Banach lattices E and F, and that the characterization of the regular norm on F（E, F） is order continuous. Some conditions for F（E, F） to be a KB-space or a band in .L（E, F） are also provided.     

Vector Lattice Powers: f-Algebras and Functional Calculus

Let s ∈ {2.3,…} and E be an Archimedean vector lattice. We prove that there exists a unique pair (E ^? ,?), where E ^? is an Archimedean vector lattice and ?:E× ··· ×E (s times) → E ^? is a symmetric lattice s-morphism, such that for every Archimedean vector lattice F and every symmetric lattice s-morphism T:E × ··· × E (s times) → F, there exists a unique lattice homomorphism T ^? :E ^?  → F such that T = T ^? ○?. We give two approaches to construct (E ^? ,?) based on f-algebras and functional calculus, respectively, provided that E is also uniformly complete.     

Dixmier's trace for boundary value problems

Let X be a smooth manifold with boundary of dimension n > 1. The operators of order −n and type zero in Boutet de Monvel's calculus form a subset of Dixmier's trace ideal for the Hilbert space of L ² sections in vector bundles E over X, F over ∂X. We show that, on these operators, Dixmier's trace can be computed in terms of the same expressions that determine the noncommutative residue. In particular it is independent of the averaging procedure. However, the noncommutative residue and Dixmier's trace are not multiples of each other unless the boundary is empty. As a corollary we show how to compute Dixmier's trace for parametrices or inverses of classical elliptic boundary value problems of the form Pu=f; Tu=0 with an elliptic differential operator P of order n in the interior and a trace operator T. In this particular situation, Dixmier's trace and the noncommutative residue do coincide up to a factor. Received: Received: 13 January 1998     

Ideal Structure of Leavitt Path Algebras with Coefficients in a Unital Commutative Ring

For a (countable) graph E and a unital commutative ring R, we analyze the ideal structure of the Leavitt path algebra L _R (E) introduced by Mark Tomforde. We first modify the definition of basic ideals and then develop the ideal characterization of Mark Tomforde. We also give necessary and sufficient conditions for the primeness and the primitivity of L _R (E), and we then determine prime graded basic ideals and left (or right) primitive graded ideals of L _R (E). In particular, when E satisfies Condition (K) and R is a field, they imply that the set of prime ideals and the set of primitive ideals of L _R (E) coincide.     

Three classes of smooth Banach submanifolds in B(E,F)

Let E, F be two Banach spaces, and B(E, F), Φ(E, F), SΦ(E, F) and R(E,F) be the bounded linear, Fredholm, semi-Frdholm and finite rank operators from E into F, respectively. In this paper, using the continuity characteristics of generalized inverses of operators under small perturbations, we prove the following result Let ∑ be any one of the following sets {T ∈ Φ(E, F) IndexT =const, and dim N(T) = const.}, {T ∈ SΦ(E, F) either dim N(T) = const. ＜ ∞ or codim R(T) = const.＜ ∞} and {T ∈ R(E, F) RankT =const.＜∞}. Then ∑ is a smooth submanifold of B(E, F) with the tangent space TA∑ = {B ∈ B(E,F) BN(A) (∪) R(A)} for any A ∈ ∑. The result is available for the further application to Thom's famous results on the transversility and the study of the infinite dimensional geometry.
