New results on q-positivity

In this paper we discuss symmetrically self-dual spaces, which are simply real vector spaces with a symmetric bilinear form. Certain subsets of the space will be called q-positive, where q is the quadratic form induced by the original bilinear form. The notion of q-positivity generalizes the classical notion of the monotonicity of a subset of a product of a Banach space and its dual. Maximal q-positivity then generalizes maximal monotonicity. We discuss concepts generalizing the representations of monotone sets by convex functions, as well as the number of maximally q -positive extensions of a q-positive set. We also discuss symmetrically self-dual Banach spaces, in which we add a Banach space structure, giving new characterizations of maximal q-positivity. The paper finishes with two new examples.     

On interpolation of bilinear operators

In this paper we study interpolation of bilinear operators between products of Banach spaces generated by abstract methods of interpolation in the sense of Aronszajn and Gagliardo. A variant of bilinear interpolation theorem is proved for bilinear operators from corresponding weighted c₀ spaces into Banach spaces of non-trivial the periodic Fourier cotype. This result is then extended to the spaces generated by the well-known minimal and maximal methods of interpolation determined by quasi-concave functions. In the case when a maximal construction is generated by Hilbert spaces, we obtain a general variant of bilinear interpolation theorem. Combining this result with the abstract Grothendieck theorem of Pisier yields further results. The results are applied in deriving a bilinear interpolation theorem for Calderón-Lozanovsky, for Orlicz spaces and an embedding interpolation formula for (E,p)-summing operators.     

The Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás Theorem for operators from c 0 to uniformly convex spaces

We show that the pair of Banach spaces (c ₀, Y) has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property when Y is uniformly convex. Further, when Y is strictly convex, if (c ₀, Y) has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property then Y is uniformly convex for the case of real Banach spaces. As a corollary, we show that the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás theorem holds for bilinear forms on c ₀ × ? _p (1 < p < ∞).     

An Extension of the Notion of Orthogonality to Banach Spaces

We extend the usual notion of orthogonality to Banach spaces. We show that the extension is quite rich in structure by establishing some of its main properties and consequences. Geometric characterizations and comparison results with other extensions are established. Also, we establish a characterization of compact operators on Banach spaces that admit orthonormal Schauder bases. Finally, we characterize orthogonality in the spaces l₂^p(C).     

On simultaneous triangularization of collections of compact operators

In this paper we consider collections of compact (resp. C_p class) operators on arbitrary Banach (resp. Hilbert) spaces. For a subring R of reals, it is proved that an R-algebra of compact operators with spectra in R on an arbitrary Banach space is triangularizable if and only if every member of the algebra is triangularizable. It is proved that every triangularizability result on certain collections, e.g., semigroups, of compact operators on a complex Banach (resp. Hilbert) space gives rise to its counterpart on a real Banach (resp. Hilbert) space. We use our main results to present new proofs as well as extensions of certain classical theorems (e.g., those due to Kolchin, McCoy, and others) on arbitrary Banach (resp. Hilbert) spaces.     

Ball remotality in Banach spaces

In this paper, we continue our study of ball remotality of subspaces of Banach spaces. In particular, we study the problem in classical sequence spaces c₀, c, ?₁ and ?_∞; and also ball remotality of a Banach space in its bidual.     

On bounded multilinear forms on a class of lp spaces

In this paper we generalize an old result of Littlewood and Hardy about bilinear forms defined in a class of sequence spaces. Historically, Littlewood [Quart. J. Math.1 (1930)] first proved a result on bilinear forms on bounded sequences and this result was then generalized by Hardy and Littlewood in a joint paper [Quart. J. Math.5(1934)] to bilinear forms on a class of l^p spaces. Later Davie and Kaijser proved Littlewood's results for multilinear forms. In this paper, Theorems A and B generalize the results to multilinear forms on l^p spaces. All the results are stated at the end of Section 1. Theorems A and B are proved, respectively, in Sections 2 and 3.     

Coordinatewise multiple summing operators in Banach spaces

We invent the new notion of coordinatewise multiple summing operators in Banach spaces, and use it to study various vector valued extensions of the well-know Bohnenblust-Hille inequality (which originally extended Littlewood's 4/3-inequality). Our results have application on the summability of monomial coefficients of m-homogeneous polynomials P:?_∞→?p, as well as for the convergence theory of products of vector valued Dirichlet series.     

Interpolation of bilinear operators and compactness

The behavior of bilinear operators acting on interpolation of Banach spaces for the ρ method in relation to the compactness is analyzed. Similar results of Lions-Peetre, Hayakawa and Persson’s compactness theorems are obtained for the bilinear case and the ρ method.     

Point spectra of Cesàro matrices

For all positive a the point spectrum of the (C, α) matrix is determined, where the matrix is regarded as an operator on certain Banach sequence spaces. In particular the point spectrum is obtained in the spaces I_p(X), with 1<p≤∞, where X is a Banach space.     

Discrete time analytic semigroups and the geometry of Banach spaces

We study different notions of discrete maximal regularity for discrete-time abstract Cauchy problems in Banach spaces. First we look at l ₂-discrete maximal regularity and show that Hilbert spaces are the only Banach spaces, among spaces with an unconditional basis, in which the analyticity of the associated discrete-time semigroup is a sufficient condition to obtain this kind of regularity. We then turn to different notions of regularity, in a l ₁ and in a l _∞ sense. We link the existence of particular semigroups such that the associated Cauchy problem has one of these maximal regularities to the geometry of the underlying Banach space (more precisely, to the existence of a complemented subspace isomorphic to c ₀ or l ₁). Finally, we give some elements to compare these regularities.     

A multilinear Lindenstrauss theorem

We show that the set of N-linear mappings on a product of N Banach spaces such that all their Arens extensions attain their norms (at the same element) is norm dense in the space of all bounded N-linear mappings.     

Orderamarts: A class of asymptotic martingales

We extend the notion of real-valued asymptotic martingales to the Banach lattice valued case. Unlike the other extensions, the notion of “orderamart” preserves the lattice property of real amarts. We show also, a Riesz decomposition, a weak and strong convergence theorem, a probabilistic characterization of A-L spaces from which we can prove that a Banach lattice with the shur property and a quasi-interior point in the dual is an l¹(Γ).     

On non-Archimedean hilbertian spaces

We consider a special class of non-Archimedean Banach spaces, called Hilbertian, for which every one-dimensional linear subspace has an orthogonal complement. We prove that all immediate extensions of c_o, contained in l^∞, are Hilbertian. In this way we construct examples of Hilbertian spaces over a non-spherically complete valued field without an orthogonal base.     

K -- Convex Operators and Walsh Type Norms

A celebrated result of G. Pisier states that the notions of B-convexity and K-convexity coincide for Banach spaces. We complement this in the setting of linear and bounded operators between Banach spaces. Our approach is local and even yields inequalities between gradations of K-convexity norms and Walsh type norms of operators. Our method combines G. Pisier's original ideas and the main steps in the proof of the Beurling-Kato theorem on extensions of C₀-semigroups of operators to holomorphic semigroups with the technique of ideal norms.     

On the polynomial Lindenstrauss theorem

Under certain hypotheses on the Banach space X, we show that the set of N-homogeneous polynomials from X to any dual space, whose Aron–Berner extensions are norm attaining, is dense in the space of all continuous N-homogeneous polynomials. To this end we prove an integral formula for the duality between tensor products and polynomials. We also exhibit examples of Lorentz sequence spaces for which there is no polynomial Bishop–Phelps theorem, but our results apply. Finally we address quantitative versions, in the sense of Bollobás, of these results.     

Banach spaces with many boundedly complete basic sequences failing PCP

We prove that there exist Banach spaces not containing ?₁, failing the point of continuity property and satisfying that every semi-normalized basic sequence has a boundedly complete basic subsequence. This answers in the negative the problem of Remark 2 in Rosenthal (2007) [12].     

On certain Banach spaces in connection with interpolation theory

By using a norm generated by the error series of a sequence of interpolation polynomials, we obtain in this paper certain Banach spaces. A relation between these spaces and the space (C₀,S) with norm generated by the error series of the best polynomial approximations (minimax series) is established.Finally, certain inequalities for the minimax series of a product are obtained which permit us to define a product over the space (C₀,S). With such a product (C₀,S) is a Banach Algebra.     

Isomorphic Schauder decompositions in certain Banach spaces

We extend a theorem of Kato on similarity for sequences of projections in Hilbert spaces to the case of isomorphic Schauder decompositions in certain Banach spaces. To this end we use ?_ψ-Hilbertian and ∞-Hilbertian Schauder decompositions instead of orthogonal Schauder decompositions, generalize the concept of an orthogonal Schauder decomposition to the case of Banach spaces and introduce the class of Banach spaces with Schauder-Orlicz decompositions. Furthermore, we generalize the notions of type, cotype, infratype and M-cotype of a Banach space and study the properties of unconditional Schauder decompositions in Banach spaces possessing certain geometric structure.     

On convergence of sections of sequences in Banach spaces

An elementary proof of the (known) fact that each element of the Banach space? _w ^p (X) of weakly absolutelyp-summable sequences (if 1≤p<∞) in the Banach spaceX is the norm limit of its sections if and only if each element of? _w ^p (X) is a norm null sequence inX, is given. Little modification to this proof leads to a similar result for a family of Orlicz sequence spaces. Some applications to spaces of compact operators on Banach sequence spaces are considered.
