The Radon-Nikodým Property Does Not Imply the Separable Complementation Property

There is a Banach space X enjoying the Radon-Nikodým Property and a separable subspace Y which is not contained in any complemented separable subspace of X.     

Weak continuity of Riemann integrable functions in Lebesgue-Bochner spaces

In general, Banach space-valued Riemann integrable functions defined on [0, 1] （equipped with the Lebesgue measure） need not be weakly continuous almost everywhere. A Banach space is said to have the weak Lebesgue property if every Riemann integrable function taking values in it is weakly continuous almost everywhere. In this paper we discuss this property for the Banach space LX^1 of all Bochner integrable functions from [0, 1] to the Banach space X. We show that LX^1 has the weak Lebesgue property whenever X has the Radon-Nikodym property and X＊ is separable. This generalizes the result by Chonghu Wang and Kang Wan [Rocky Mountain J. Math., 31（2）, 697-703 （2001）] that L^1[0, 1] has the weak Lebesgue property.     

Polynomial numerical indices of Banach spaces with absolute norm

We study when a Banach space with absolute norm may have polynomial numerical indices equal to one. In the real case, we show that a Banach space X with absolute norm, which has the Radon-Nikodým property or is Asplund, satisfies n⁽²⁾(X)<1 unless it is one-dimensional. In the complex case, we show that the only Banach spaces X with absolute norm and the Radon-Nikodým property which satisfy n⁽²⁾(X)=1 are the spaces . Also, the only Asplund complex space X with absolute norm which satisfies n⁽²⁾(X)=1 is c₀(Λ).     

Equilibrium points of nonatomic games over a nonreflexive Banach space

Schmeidler's results on the equilibrium points of nonatomic games with strategy sets in Euclidean n-space are generalized to nonatomic games with stategy sets in a separable Banach space whose dual possesses the Radon-Nikodým property.     

On the near differentiability property of Banach spaces

Let μ be a scalar measure of bounded variation on a compact metrizable abelian group G. Suppose that μ has the property that for any measure σ whose Fourier-Stieltjes transform vanishes at ∞, the measure μ*σ has Radon-Nikodým derivative with respect to λ, the Haar measure on G. Then L. Pigno and S. Saeki showed that μ itself has Radon-Nikodým derivative. Such property is not shared by vector measures in general. We say that a Banach space X has the near differentiability property if every X-valued measure of bounded variation shares the above property. We prove that Banach spaces with the Radon-Nikodým property have the near differentiability property, while Banach spaces with the near differentiability property enjoy the near Radon-Nikodým property. We also show that the Banach spaces L¹[0,1] and have the near differentiability property. Lastly, we show that Banach spaces with the near differentiability property have type II-Λ-Radon-Nikodým property, whenever Λ is a Riesz subset of type 0 of .     

Operator martingale decompositions and the Radon-Nikodým property in Banach spaces

We consider submartingales and uniform amarts of maps acting between a Banach lattice and a Banach lattice or a Banach space. In this measure-free setting of martingale theory, it is known that a Banach space Y has the Radon-Nikodým property if and only if every uniformly norm bounded martingale defined on the Chaney-Schaefer l-tensor product , where E is a suitable Banach lattice, is norm convergent. We present applications of this result. Firstly, an analogues characterization for Banach lattices Y with the Radon-Nikodým property is given in terms of a suitable set of submartingales (supermartingales) on . Secondly, we derive a Riesz decomposition for uniform amarts of maps acting between a Banach lattice and a Banach space. This result is used to characterize Banach spaces with the Radon-Nikodým property in terms of uniformly norm bounded uniform amarts of maps that are norm convergent. In the case 1<p<∞, our results yield Lp(μ,Y)-space analogues of some of the well-known results on uniform amarts in L¹(μ,Y)-spaces.     

Complex strict convexity of certain Banach spaces

Istratescu's characterization of complex strict convex (csc) Banach spaces is used to show that a modulared sum of a sequence ofcsc Banach spaces is again acsc Banach space. The equivalence of the Strong Maximum Modulus Property and complex strict convexity is used to show thatL ¹(,X) iscsc whenX is (real) strictly convex and thatl ¹(X _n) iscsc if and only if eachX _n iscsc.     

Some properties of the injective tensor product of L[0,1] and a Banach space

Let X be a (real or complex) Banach space and 1<p,p′<∞ such that 1/p+1/p′=1. Then , the injective tensor product of L^p[0,1] and X, has the Radon-Nikodym property (resp. the analytic Radon-Nikodym property, the near Radon-Nikodym property, contains no copy of c₀, is weakly sequentially complete) if and only if X has the same property and each continuous linear operator from L^p′[0,1] to X is compact.     

SOME ASPECTS OF THE LIFTING PROPERTY OF THE SPACE £∞ (μ, X)

Abstract

Using a lifting of £_∞ (μ, X) ([5],[6]), we construct a lifting ρ x of the seminormed vector space £_∞ (μ, X) of measurable, essentially bounded X-valued functions. We show that in a certain sense such a lifting always exists. If μ is Lebesgue measure on (0, 1) we show that ρ x exists as map from £_∞ ((O, 1), X) → £_∞,((0, l), X) if and only if X is reflexive. In general the lifted function takes its values in X **. Therefore we investigate the question, when f ε £_∞ (μ, X) is strictly liftable in the sense that the lifted function is a map with values even in X.

As an application we introduce the space £_∞ ^strong (μ, L (X, Y**)), a subspace of the space of strongly measurable, essentially bounded L (X, Y, **)-valued functions, and the associated quotient space £_∞ ^strong (μ, L (X,Y**)). We show that this space is a Banach space because there is a kind of a Dunford-Pettis Theorem for a subspace of L (X, £_∞(μ Y**)). Finally we investigate the measurability property of functions in £_∞(μ Y**)) und see that there exists a connection to the Radon-Nikodym property of the space L (X, Y).     

On a new geometric property for Banach spaces

In this paper we study a geometric property for Banach spaces called condition (*), introduced by de Reynaet al in [3], A Banach space has this property if for any weakly null sequencex _n of unit vectors inX, ifx _* ⁿ is any sequence of unit vectors inX ^* that attain their norm at x_n’s, then . We show that a Banach space satisfies condition (*) for all equivalent norms iff the space has the Schur property. We also study two related geometric conditions, one of which is useful in calculating the essential norm of an operator.     

On holomorphic domination, I

Let X be a separable Banach space and u:X→R locally upper bounded. We show that there are a Banach space Z and a holomorphic function h:X→Z with u(x)<‖h(x)‖ for x∈X. As a consequence we find that the sheaf cohomology group Hq(X,O) vanishes if X has the bounded approximation property (i.e., X is a direct summand of a Banach space with a Schauder basis), O is the sheaf of germs of holomorphic functions on X, and q?1. As another consequence we prove that if f is a C¹-smooth -closed (0,1)-form on the space X=L₁[0,1] of summable functions, then there is a C¹-smooth function u on X with on X.     

The Singularity Property of Banach Function Spaces and Unconditional Convergence in L 1[0, 1]

Let X be a Banach function space, L^∞ [0, 1] ⊂ X ⊂ L¹[0, 1]. It is proved that if dual space of X has singularity property in closed set E ⊂ [0, 1] then: 1) there exists no orthonormal basis in C[0, 1], which forms an unconditional basis in X in metric of L¹[0, 1] space, 2) for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator M we have      

Fréchet Spaces of Holomorphic Functions without Copies of l1

Let X be a Banach space. Let H_w*(X*) the Fréchet space whose elements are the holomorphic functions defined on X* whose restrictions to each multiple mB(X*), m = 1,2, …, of the closed unit ball B(X*) of X* are continuous for the weak-star topology. A fundamental system of norms for this space is the supremum of the absolute value of each element of H_w*(X*) in mB(X*), m = 1,2,…. In this paper we construct the bidual of l₁ when this space contains no copy of l¹. We also show that if X is an Asplund space, then H_w*(X*) can be represented as the projective limit of a sequence of Banach spaces that are Asplund.     

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Some applications of BP-theorem in approximation theory

In this paper we apply Bishop-Phelps property to show that if X is a Banach space and G X is the maximal subspace so that G⊥ = {x* ∈ X*|x*(y) = 0; y∈ G} is an L-summand in X*, then L1(Ω,G) is contained in a maximal proximinal subspace of L1(Ω,X).     

On solutions to the Schroeder-Bernstein problem for Banach spaces

We investigate the geometry of the Banach spaces failing Schroeder-Bernstein Property (SBP). Initially we prove that every complex hereditarily indecomposable Banach space H is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of a Banach space S(H) that fails SBP in such a way that the only complemented hereditarily indecomposable subspaces of S(H) are those which are nearly isomorphic to H. Then we show that every Banach space having Mazur property is isomorphic to some complemented subspace of a Banach space which is not isomorphic to its square but isomorphic to its cube. Finally, we prove that if a Banach space X fails SBP then either it is not primary or the Grothendieck group K₀(L(X)) of the algebra of operators on X is not trivial.     

On Banach spaces X for which Π2 (X,L 1) = N1(X,L 1)

We prove that every 2-summing operator from a Banach space X into an L ₁-space is nuclear if and only if X is isomorphic to a Hilbert space. Then we study the class of Banach spaces X for which Π₂(l ₂, X) = N ₁(l ₂, X).     

Additions to the Periodic Decomposition Theorem

A pair of linear bounded commuting operators T₁, T₂ in a Banach space is said to possess a decomposition property (DePr) if Ker (I-T₁)(I-T₂) = Ker (I-T₁) + Ker (I-T₂). A Banach space X is said to possess a 2-decomposition property (2-DePr) if every pair of linear power bounded commuting operators in X possesses the DePr. It is known from papers of M. Laczkovich and Sz. Révész that every reflexive Banach space X has the 2-DePr. In this paper we prove that every quasi-reflexive Banach space of order 1 has the 2-DePr but not all quasi-reflexive spaces of order 2. We prove that a Banach space has no 2-DePr if it contains a direct sum of two non-reflexive Banach spaces. Also we prove that if a bounded pointwise norm continuous operator group acts on X then every pair of operators belonging to it has a DePr. A list of open problems is also included. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Composition operators on a Banach space of analytic functions

In this paper, we study composition operators on a Banach space of analytic functions, denoted byX, which includes the Bloch space. This space arises naturally as the dual space of analytic functions in the Bergman spaceL _α ¹ (D) which admit an atomic decomposition. We characterize the functions which induce compact composition operators and those which induce Fredholm operatorson this space. We also investigate when a composition operator has a closed range.

Sobolev embeddings into BMO, VMO, andL ∞

LetX be a rearrangement-invariant Banach function space onR ⁿ and letV ¹ X be the Sobolev space of functions whose gradient belongs toX. We give necessary and sufficient conditions onX under whichV ¹ X is continuously embedded into BMO or intoL _∞. In particular, we show thatL _{n, ∞} is the largest rearrangement-invariant spaceX such thatV ¹ X is continuously embedded into BMO and, similarly,L _{n, 1} is the largest rearrangement-invariant spaceX such thatV ¹ X is continuously embedded intoL _∞. We further show thatV ¹ X is a subset of VMO if and only if every function fromX has an absolutely continuous norm inL _{n, ∞} . A compact inclusion ofV ¹ X intoC ⁰ is characterized as well.
