Power type asymptotically uniformly smooth and asymptotically uniformly flat norms

We provide a short characterization of p-asymptotic uniform smoothability and asymptotic uniform flatenability of operators and of Banach spaces. We use these characterizations to show that many asymptotic uniform smoothness properties pass to injective tensor products of operators and of Banach spaces. In particular, we prove that the injective tensor product of two asymptotically uniformly smooth Banach spaces is asymptotically uniformly smooth. We prove that for \(1<p<\infty \), the class of p-asymptotically uniformly smoothable operators can be endowed with an ideal norm making this class a Banach ideal. We also prove that the class of asymptotically uniformly flattenable operators can be endowed with an ideal norm making this class a Banach ideal.     

On Banach Spaces Whose Unit Sphere Determines Polynomials

In this paper we study the problem of characterizing the real Banach spaces whose unit sphere determines polynomials, i.e., if two polynomials coincide in the unit sphere, is this sufficient to guarantee that they are identical？ We show that, in the frame of spaces with unconditional basis, non- reflexivity is a sufficient, although not necessary, condition for the above question to have an affirmative answer. We prove that the only lp^n spaces having this property are those with p irrational, while the only lp spaces which do not enjoy it are those with p an even integer. We also introduce a class of polynomial determining sets in any real Banach space.     

Multipliers on homogeneous Banach spaces with respect to Jacobi polynomials

A bounded linear operator is called multiplier with respect to Jacobi polynomials if and only if it commutes with all Jacobi translation operators on $[-1,1]$ . Multipliers on homogeneous Banach spaces on $[-1,1]$ determined by the Jacobi translation operator are introduced and studied. First we prove four equivalent characterizations of a multiplier for an arbitrary homogeneous Banach spaces $B$ on $[-1,1]$ . One of them implies the existence of an algebra isomorphism from the set of all multipliers on $B$ into the set of all pseudomeasures. Further, we study multipliers on specific examples of homogeneous Banach spaces on $[-1,1]$ . Amongst others, multipliers on the Wiener algebra, on the Beurling space and on Sobolev spaces are analyzed. We obtain that the multiplier spaces of the Wiener algebra, the Beurling space and of all Sobolev spaces are isometric isomorphic to each other. Furthermore, these multiplier spaces are all isometric isomorphic to the set of all pseudomeasures.     

Banach-valued holomorphic functions on the maximal ideal space of H ∞

We study Banach-valued holomorphic functions defined on open subsets of the maximal ideal space of the Banach algebra H ^∞ of bounded holomorphic functions on the unit disk $\mathbb{D}\subset \mathbb{C}$ with pointwise multiplication and supremum norm. In particular, we establish vanishing cohomology for sheaves of germs of such functions and, solving a Banach-valued corona problem for H ^∞, prove that the maximal ideal space of the algebra $H_{\mathrm{comp}}^{\infty}(A)$ of holomorphic functions on $\mathbb{D}$ with relatively compact images in a commutative unital complex Banach algebra A is homeomorphic to the direct product of maximal ideal spaces of H ^∞ and A.     

Independent families in Boolean algebras with some separation properties

We prove that any Boolean algebra with the subsequential completeness property contains an independent family of size ${\mathfrak{c}}$ , the size of the continuum. This improves a result of Argyros from the 1980s, which asserted the existence of an uncountable independent family. In fact, we prove it for a bigger class of Boolean algebras satisfying much weaker properties. It follows that the Stone space ${K_\mathcal{A}}$ of all such Boolean algebras ${\mathcal{A}}$ contains a copy of the ?ech–Stone compactification of the integers ${\beta\mathbb{N}}$ and the Banach space ${C(K_\mathcal{A})}$ has l _∞ as a quotient. Connections with the Grothendieck property in Banach spaces are discussed.     

Operator Ideals on Non-commutative Function Spaces

Suppose X and Y are Banach spaces, and \({{\mathcal{I}}}\) , \({{\mathcal{J}}}\) are operator ideals. compact operators). Under what conditions does the inclusion \({\mathcal{I}(X,Y) \subset \mathcal{J}(X,Y)}\) , or the equality \({\mathcal{I}(X,Y)\,=\,\mathcal{J}(X,Y)}\) , hold? We examine this question when \({\mathcal{I}, \mathcal{J}}\) are the ideals of Dunford–Pettis, strictly (co)singular, finitely strictly singular, inessential, or (weakly) compact operators, while X and Y are non-commutative function spaces. Since such spaces are ordered, we also address the same questions for positive parts of such ideals.     

On distribution of the norm for normal random elements in the space of continuous functions

We consider distributions of norms for normal random elements X in separable Banach spaces, in particular, in the space C(S) of continuous functions on a compact space S. We prove that, under some nondegeneracy condition, the functions $ {{\mathcal{F}}_X}=\left\{ {\mathrm{P}\left( {\left\| {X-z} \right\|\leqslant r} \right):\;z\in C(S)} \right\},\;r\geqslant 0 $ , are uniformly Lipschitz and that every separable Banach space B can be ε-renormed so that the family $ {{\mathcal{F}}_X} $ becomes uniformly Lipschitz in the new norm for any B-valued nondegenerate normal random element X.     

Regularity of semigroups via the asymptotic behaviour at zero

An interesting result by T. Kato and A. Pazy says that a contractive semigroup (T(t)) _t≥0 on a uniformly convex space X is holomorphic iff $\limsup_{t \downarrow0} \|T(t) - \operatorname{Id}\| < 2$ . We study extensions of this result which are valid on arbitrary Banach spaces for semigroups which are not necessarily contractive. This allows us to prove a general extrapolation result for holomorphy of semigroups on interpolation spaces of exponent θ∈(0,1). As an application we characterize boundedness of the generator of a cosine family on a UMD-space by a zero-two law. Moreover, our methods can be applied to $\mathcal{R}$ -sectoriality: We obtain a characterization of maximal regularity by the behaviour of the semigroup at zero and show extrapolation results.     

Characterization of Banach valued BMO functions and UMD Banach spaces by using Bessel convolutions

In this paper we consider the space ${{{BMO}_o(\mathbb{R}, X)}}$ of bounded mean oscillations and odd functions on ${{\mathbb{R}}}$ taking values in a UMD Banach space X. The functions in ${{{BMO}_o(\mathbb{R}, X)}}$ are characterized by Carleson type conditions involving Bessel convolutions and γ-radonifying norms. Also we prove that the UMD Banach spaces are the unique Banach spaces for which certain γ-radonifying Carleson inequalities for Bessel–Poisson integrals of ${{{BMO}_o(\mathbb{R}, X)}}$ functions hold.     

Generalized Lax-Milgram theorem in Banach spaces and its application to the elliptic system of boundary value problems

We generalize the well-known Lax-Milgram theorem on the Hilbert space to that on the Banach space. Suppose that ${a(\cdot, \cdot)}$ is a continuous bilinear form on the product ${X\times Y}$ of Banach spaces X and Y, where Y is reflexive. If null spaces N _X and N _Y associated with ${a(\cdot, \cdot)}$ have complements in X and in Y, respectively, and if ${a(\cdot, \cdot)}$ satisfies certain variational inequalities both in X and in Y, then for every ${F \in N_Y^{\perp}}$ , i.e., ${F \in Y^{\ast}}$ with ${F(\phi) = 0}$ for all ${\phi \in N_Y}$ , there exists at least one ${u \in X}$ such that ${a(u, \varphi) = F(\varphi)}$ holds for all ${\varphi \in Y}$ with ${\|u\|_X \le C\|F\|_{Y^{\ast}}}$ . We apply our result to several existence theorems of L ^r -solutions to the elliptic system of boundary value problems appearing in the fluid mechanics.     

Estimates for vector valued Dirichlet polynomials

We estimate the \(\ell _1\) -norm \(\sum _{n=1}^N \Vert a_n\Vert \) of finite Dirichlet polynomials \(\sum _{n=1}^N a_n n^{-s},\,s \in {\mathbb {C}}\) with coefficients \(a_n\) in a Banach space. Our estimates quantify several recent results on Bohr’s strips of uniform but non absolute convergence of Dirichlet series in Banach spaces.     

On the local structure of subspaces of Banach lattices

The conjecture that every Banach space contains uniformly complementedl _p ⁿ ’s for some 1≦p≦∞ is verified for subspaces of Banach lattices which do not containl _∞ ⁿ ’s uniformly.     

A compactness result for differentiable functions with an application to boundary value problems

We characterize the relative compactness of subsets of the space ${\mathcal{BC}^m([0,+\infty [;E)}$ of bounded and m-differentiable functions defined on [0, +∞[ with values in a Banach space E. Moreover, we apply this characterization to prove the existence of solutions of a boundary value problem in Banach spaces.     

Characteristic properties of the Gurariy space

The Gurariy space G is defined by the property that for every pair of finite dimensional Banach spaces L ? M, every isometry T: L → G admits an extension to an isomorphism \(\mathop T\limits^ \sim :M \to G\) with ‖T‖‖T ^?1‖ ≤ 1 + ∈. We investigate the question when we can take \(\mathop T\limits^ \sim \) to be also an isometry (i.e., ∈ = 0). We identify a natural class of pairs L ? M such that the above property for this class with ∈ = 0 characterises the Gurariy space among all separable Banach spaces. We also show that the Gurariy space G is the only Lindenstrauss space such that its finite-dimensional smooth subspaces are dense in all subspaces.     

Convergence of subdiagonal Padé approximations of C 0-semigroups

Let ${(r_{n})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}}$ be the sequence of subdiagonal Padé approximations of the exponential function. We prove that for ?A the generator of a uniformly bounded C ₀-semigroup T on a Banach space X, the sequence ${(r_{n}(-t A))_{n \in \mathbb{N}}}$ converges strongly to T(t) on D(A ^α ) for ${\alpha>\frac{1}{2}}$ . Local uniform convergence in t and explicit convergence rates in n are established. For specific classes of semigroups, such as bounded analytic or exponentially γ -stable ones, stronger estimates are proved. Finally, applications to the inversion of the vector-valued Laplace transform are given.     

On HCO spaces. An uncountable compactT 2 space,different from ℵ1+1, which is homeomorphic to each of its uncountable closed subspaces,which is homeomorphic to each of its uncountable closed subspaces

LetX be an Hausdorff space. We say thatX is a CO space, ifX is compact and every closed subspace ofX is homeomorphic to a clopen subspace ofX, andX is a hereditarily CO space (HCO space), if every closed subspace is a CO space. It is well-known that every well-ordered chain with a last element, endowed with the interval topology, is an HCO space, and every HCO space is scattered. In this paper, we show the following theorems: Theorem (R. Bonnet):

1. Every HCO space which is a continuous image of a compact totally disconnected interval space is homeomorphic to β+1 for some ordinal β.
2. Every HCO space of countable Cantor-Bendixson rank is homeomorphic to α+1 for some countable ordinal α.

Theorem (S. Shelah):Assume \(\diamondsuit _{\aleph _1 } \) . Then there is a HCO compact space X of Cantor-Bendixson rankω ₁} and of cardinality ?₁ such that:

1. X has only countably many isolated points,
2. Every closed subset of X is countable or co-countable,
3. Every countable closed subspace of X is homeomorphic to a clopen subspace, and every uncountable closed subspace of X is homeomorphic to X, and
4. X is retractive.

In particularX is a thin-tall compact space of countable spread, and is not a continuous image of a compact totally disconnected interval space. The question whether it is consistent with ZFC, that every HCO space is homeomorphic to an ordinal, is open.     

Cluster values of analytic functions on a Banach space

We investigate uniform algebras of bounded analytic functions on the unit ball of a complex Banach space. We prove several cluster value theorems, relating cluster sets of a function to its range on the fibers of the spectrum of the algebra. These lead to weak versions of the corona theorem for ? ₂ and for c ₀. In the case of the open unit ball of c ₀, we solve the corona problem whenever all but one of the functions comprising the corona data are uniformly approximable by polynomials in functions in ${c_0^*}$ .     

A non-type (D) operator in c_0

Previous examples of non-type (D) maximal monotone operators were restricted to $\ell ^1$ , $L^1$ , and Banach spaces containing isometric copies of these spaces. This fact led to the conjecture that non-type (D) operators were restricted to this class of Banach spaces. We present a linear non-type (D) operator in $c_0$ .     

Extreme points of the set of Banach limits

Let ${\mathbb{N}}$ be the set of all natural numbers and ${\ell_\infty=\ell_\infty (\mathbb{N})}$ be the Banach space of all bounded sequences x = (x ₁, x ₂ . . .) with the norm $$\|x\|_{\infty}=\sup_{n\in\mathbb{N}}|x_n|,$$ and let ${\ell_\infty^*}$ be its Banach dual. Let ${\mathfrak{B} \subset \ell_\infty^*}$ be the set of all normalised positive translation invariant functionals (Banach limits) on ? _∞ and let ${ext(\mathfrak{B})}$ be the set of all extreme points of ${\mathfrak{B}}$ . We prove that an arbitrary sequence (B _j ) _{j ≥ 1}, of distinct points from the set ${ext(\mathfrak{B})}$ is 1-equivalent to the unit vector basis of the space ? ₁ of all summable sequences. We also study Cesáro-invariant Banach limits. In particular, we prove that the norm closed convex hull of ${ext(\mathfrak{B})}$ does not contain a Cesáro-invariant Banach limit.
