Average locally uniform rotundity and a class of nonlinear maps

We consider some topological characterizations of dual Banach spaces that admit an equivalent dual average locally uniformly rotund norm and provide a criterion for such renorming which involves the class of σ-slicely continuous maps.     

The Rogalski–Cornet theorem and a Leontief-type input–output inclusion

In this paper, a Rogalski–Cornet-type surjectivity theorem without any continuity assumptions is proved. Some stability results for certain set-valued maps based on this result are also discussed. By applying these results to a generalized Leontief input–output inclusion problem, some solvability and stability criteria are obtained.     

The geometry of the critical set of nonlinear periodic Sturm-Liouville operators

We study the critical set C of the nonlinear differential operator F(u)=−u^″+f(u) defined on a Sobolev space of periodic functions Hp(S¹), p?1. Let be the plane z=0 and, for n>0, let n be the cone x²+y²=tan²z, |z−2πn|<π/2; also set . For a generic smooth nonlinearity f:R→R with surjective derivative, we show that there is a diffeomorphism between the pairs (Hp(S¹),C) and (R³,Σ)×H where H is a real separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space.     

SPECTRAL PROPERTIES OF POSITIVE ELEMENTS IN BANACH LATTICE ALGEBRAS

Abstract

We prove that if a unital Banach lattice algebra has sufficiently many one-dimensional elements and if its unit element has sufficiently many components then its positive elements have spectral properties analogous to those of positive operators on Banach lattices. In particular, if a positive element is irreducible (in the sense that (1—e)xe > 0 for all components e of 1 satisfying 0 ≠ e ≠ 1) and compact, its spectral radius is positive and its spectrum shows cyclic behaviour.     

Strongly non-embeddable metric spaces

Enflo (1969) [4] constructed a countable metric space that may not be uniformly embedded into any metric space of positive generalized roundness. Dranishnikov, Gong, Lafforgue and Yu (2002) [3] modified Enflo?s example to construct a locally finite metric space that may not be coarsely embedded into any Hilbert space. In this paper we meld these two examples into one simpler construction. The outcome is a locally finite metric space (Z,ζ) which is strongly non-embeddable in the sense that it may not be embedded uniformly or coarsely into any metric space of non-zero generalized roundness. Moreover, we show that both types of embedding may be obstructed by a common recursive principle. It follows from our construction that any metric space which is Lipschitz universal for all locally finite metric spaces may not be embedded uniformly or coarsely into any metric space of non-zero generalized roundness. Our construction is then adapted to show that the group Zω=ℵ_0⊕Z admits a Cayley graph which may not be coarsely embedded into any metric space of non-zero generalized roundness. Finally, for each p?0 and each locally finite metric space (Z,d), we prove the existence of a Lipschitz injection f:Z→?p.     

Atomic Decomposition of a Weighted Inductive Limit in \mathbb{C}^{n}

Cone monotone mappings: Continuity and differentiability

We generalize some results of Borwein, Burke, Lewis, and Wang to mappings with values in metric (resp. ordered normed linear) spaces, and we define two classes of monotone mappings between an ordered linear space and a metric space (resp. ordered linear space): K$K$-monotone dominated and cone-to-cone monotone mappings. K$K$-monotone dominated mappings naturally generalize mappings with finite variation (in the classical sense) and K$K$-monotone functions defined by Borwein, Burke and Lewis to mappings with domains and ranges of higher dimensions. First, using results of Veselý and Zají?ek, we show some relationships between these classes. Then, we show that every K$K$-monotone function f:X→R$f:X\to \mathbb{R}$, where X$X$ is any Banach space, is continuous outside of a set which can be covered by countably many Lipschitz hypersurfaces. This sharpens a result due to Borwein and Wang. As a consequence, we obtain a similar result for K$K$-monotone dominated and cone-to-cone monotone mappings. Finally, we prove several results concerning almost everywhere differentiability (also in metric and w^∗$w^{\ast }$-senses) of these mappings.     

EXISTENCE OF A NON-STRICT MOPRPHISM OF QUOTIENT BANACH SPACES

On the finite field Kakeya problem in two dimensions

A two-dimensional Besicovitch set over a finite field is a subset of the finite plane containing a line in each direction. In this paper, we conjecture a sharp lower bound for the size of such a subset and prove some results toward this conjecture.     

The stabilized set of p's in Krivine's theorem can be disconnected

For any closed subset F   of [1,∞]$[1,\infty ]$ which is either finite or consists of the elements of an increasing sequence and its limit, a reflexive Banach space X with a 1-unconditional basis is constructed so that in each block subspace Y of X  , _?p${?}_p$ is finitely block represented in Y   if and only if p∈F$p\in F$. In particular, this solves the question as to whether the stabilized Krivine set for a Banach space had to be connected. We also prove that for every infinite dimensional subspace Y of X there is a dense subset G of F such that the spreading models admitted by Y   are exactly the _?p${?}_p$ for p∈G$p\in G$.     

Dominated polynomials on $\mathcal{L}_P $ -spaces

It is well known that continuous bilinear forms on C(K) × C(K) are 2-dominated. This paper shows that generalizations of this result are not to be expected. The main result asserts that for every -space E(1 p ), every n 2, every r > 0 and every Banach space F , there exists an n-homogeneous polynomial P : E F such that P is not of type [_r], hence P is neither r-dominated nor r-semi-integral (if n = 2 and p = , F is supposed to contain an isomorphic copy of some , 1_q < ).Received: 24 November 2003     

Lipschitz behaviour of the Legendre-Fenchel Transform

We give estimates of the modulus of continuity of the Legendre-Fenchel Transform with respect to the Attouch-Wets uniformity. We point out the local Lipschitz behaviour of the conjugacy operation when endowing the set of closed proper convex functions defined on a normed vector space with suitable families of semimetrics.     

New types of Lipschitz summing maps between metric spaces

Building upon the results of M. C. Matos and extending previous work of J. D. Farmer, W. B. Johnson and J. A. Chávez‐Domínguez we define a Lipschitz mixed summable sequence as the pointwise product of a strongly summable sequence and a weakly Lipschitz summable one. Then we introduce classes of Lipschitz maps satisfying inequalities between Lipschitz mixed summable sequence and strongly summable sequences analogously to the linear case. These classes generalize the classes of Lipschitz summable maps considered earlier in the literature. We use standard techniques to establish several basic properties, showing that these classes of maps are ideals and some relationships between them. We establish various composition and inclusion theorems between different classes of Lipschitz summing maps and several characterizations. Furthermore, we prove that the classes of Lipschitz p‐summing maps coincide and the nonlinear “Pietsch Domination Theorem” for the case . We also identify cases where all Lipschitz maps are in the aforementioned classes of Lipschitz maps and discuss a sufficient condition for a Lipschitz composition formula as in the linear case.     

Nonembeddability theorems via Fourier analysis

Various new nonembeddability results (mainly into L₁) are proved via Fourier analysis. In particular, it is shown that the Edit Distance on {0,1}^d has L₁ distortion We also give new lower bounds on the L₁ distortion of flat tori, quotients of the discrete hypercube under group actions, and the transportation cost (Earthmover) metric.     

On non-surjective coarse isometries between Banach spaces

Assume that X, Y are real Banach spaces, Y has uniform convexity of type p (≥ 1), and f: X → Y is a standard coarse isometry. In this paper, we show that if

Representation properties of coarse isometries in free ultrafilter limits on are also discussed.     

Traces of functions in Hardy and Besov spaces on Lipschitz domains with applications to compensated compactness and the theory of Hardy and Bergman type spaces

In this paper we study conditions guaranteeing that functions defined on a Lipschitz domain Ω have boundary traces in Hardy and Besov spaces on ∂Ω. In turn these results are used to develop a new approach to the theory of compensated compactness and the theory of non-locally convex Hardy and Bergman type spaces.
