Tangent Sets of Order One and Two to the Positive Cones of Some Functional Spaces

We compute the tangent cone and the tangent set of order two to the positive cone of some important functional spaces such as the space C(K) of continuous functions on a compact space and the space L_p(Q) of p-integrable functions on a measured space. The results are applied to the calculus of derivatives of order one and two of marginal functions. Accepted 19 April 1996     

Wick calculus in Gaussian analysis

We define an extension of the distribution spaces conventionally used in Gaussian analysis. This space, characterized by analytic properties of S-transforms, allows for a calculus based on the Wick product. We indicate some of its features.     

Hypercomplex Functional Calculi and Function Theories in Clifford Analysis

Some properties of hypercomplex functions (the null solutions of the polynomial Dirac operators in Rⁿ⁺¹) in Clifford Analysis are discussed, their hypercomplex functional calculi for an n-tuple non-commuting self-adjoint operators A are constructed by the use of Cauchy integral formulas, the polynomial approaches to functional calculi are also considered. Although these hypercomplex function theories have different representative forms, their hypercomplex functional calculi are the same as the monogenic functional calculus.     

ON INESSENTIAL IDEALS IN BANACH ALGEBRAS

Abstract

In [2], Aupetit studied the perturbation of elements of a Banach algebra A by elements of an inessential ideal I of A. The main result of his paper is based on a lemma ([2], theorem 1.1) obtained by the use of subharmonic methods and analytic multivalued functions. Our aim in this note is to prove Auptetit's perturbation theorem ([2], theorem 2.4) by making use of elementary methods.     

Decomposition Methods in Banach Spaces via Supplemented Subspaces Resembling Pełczyński’s Decomposition Methods

Suppose that X and Y are Banach spaces complemented in each other with supplemented subspaces A and B. In 1996, W. T. Gowers solved the Schroeder–Bernstein problem for Banach spaces by showing that X is not necessarily isomorphic to Y. In this paper, we obtain some suitable conditions involving the spaces A and B to yield that X is isomorphic to Y or to provide that at least X ^m is isomorphic to Yⁿ for some m, n ∈ IN^*. So we get some decomposition methods in Banach spaces via supplemented subspaces resembling Pełczyński’s decomposition methods. In order to do this, we introduce several notions of Schroeder–Bernstein Quadruples acting on the spaces X, Y, A and B. Thus, we characterize them by using some Banach spaces recently constructed.

Analyticity and naturality of the multi-variable functional calculus

Mackey-complete complex commutative continuous inverse algebras generalize complex commutative Banach algebras. After constructing the Gelfand transform for these algebras, we develop the functional calculus for holomorphic functions on neighbourhoods of the joint spectra of finitely many elements and for holomorphic functions on neighbourhoods of the Gelfand spectrum. To this end, we study the algebra of holomorphic germs in weak^*${\mathrm{weak}}^{*}$-compact subsets of the dual. We emphasize the simultaneous analyticity of the functional calculus in both the function and its arguments and its naturality. Finally, we treat systems of analytic equations in these algebras.     

Calculus for parabolic second-order derivatives

In this paper, a calculus for two second-order directional derivatives is presented and then applied in the development of second-order necessary optimality conditions for a nonsmooth mathematical program. The formulae of this calculus, which include rules for sums, pointwise maxima, and certain compositions of functions, are valid for a large class of non-Lipschitzian functions and in fact subsume the sharpest results of the calculus of first-order upper and lower epiderivatives. Two methods are utilized in the derivation of these formulae. One centers around the concept of metric regularity, while the other relies upon the use of recession cones and interior tangent sets.     

Holomorphy in convergence spaces

We introduce a new approach to infinite dimensional holomorphy. Cast in the setting of closed-embedded linear convergence spaces and based on a categorical definition of derivative, our theory applies beyond the traditional open domains. It reaches certain domains with empty interior (that arise naturally in Fréchet spaces) and gives a fully fledged differential calculus. On open domains our approach provides a new characterization of holomorphic maps. Thus earlier theories become expanded as well as strengthened.NSERC aided     

Complex interpolation of Orlicz spaces with respect to a vector measure

We apply the Calderón interpolation methods to Orlicz and weakly Orlicz function spaces with respect to a Banach‐space‐valued measure defined on a σ‐algebra. The results we obtain generalize those in the case of Banach lattices of p‐integrable and weakly p‐integrable functions with respect to such a vector measure.     

ON THE FUNCTIONAL CALCULUS IN ARCHIMEDEAN RIESZ SPACES WITH APPLICATIONS TO APPROXIMATION THEOREMS

ABSTRACT

We show that the functional calculus defined on the class of Dedekind σ-complete Riesz spaces can be extended to the class of uniformly complete Archimedean Riesz spaces without representing in the process the spaces involved by spaces of functions. As a consequence some results in the theory of Riesz spaces which were proved previously by representation techniques, can now be proved in an intrinsic way.     

Functional calculus on real interpolation spaces for generators of C0‐groups

We study functional calculus properties of C₀‐groups on real interpolation spaces using transference principles. We obtain interpolation versions of the classical transference principle for bounded groups and of a recent transference principle for unbounded groups. Then we show that each group generator on a Banach space has a bounded ‐calculus on real interpolation spaces. Additional results are derived from this.     

Krivine's theorem and the indices of a Banach lattice

In this paper we shall present an exposition of a fundamental result due to J.L. Krivine about the local structure of a Banach lattice. In [3] Krivine proved that _p (1p) is finitely lattice representable in any infinite dimensional Banach lattice. At the end of the introduction of [3] it is then stated that a value of p for which this holds is given by, what we will call below, the upper index of the Banach lattice. He states that this follows from the methods of his paper and of the paper [5] of Maurey and Pisier. One can ask whether the theorem also holds for p equal to the lower index of the Banach lattice. At first glance this is not obvious from [3], since many theorems in [3] have as a hypothesis that the upper index of the Banach lattice is finite. This can e.g. also be seen from the book [6] of H.U. Schwarz, where only the result for the upper index is stated, while both indices are discussed. One purpose of this paper is clarify this point and to present an exposition of all the ingredients of a proof of Krivine's theorem for both the upper and lower index of a Banach lattice. We first gather some definitions and state some properties of the indices of a Banach lattice. For a discussion of these indices we refer to the book of Zaanen[7].     

Derivations on the Algebra of τ-Compact Operators Affiliated with a Type I von Neumann Algebra

Let M be a type I von Neumann algebra with the center Z, and a faithful normal semi-finite trace τ. Consider the algebra L(M, τ) of all τ-measurable operators with respect to M and let S ₀(M, τ) be the subalgebra of τ-compact operators in L(M, τ). We prove that any Z-linear derivation of S ₀(M, τ) is spatial and generated by an element from L(M, τ).      

Banach-stone theorems and separating maps

LetC(X,E) andC(Y,F) denote the spaces of continuous functions on the Tihonov spacesX andY, taking values in the Banach spacesE andF, respectively. A linear mapH:C(X,E)→C(Y,F) isseparating iff(x)g(x)=0 for allx inX impliesHf(y)Hg(y)=0 for ally inY. Some automatic continuity properties and Banach-Stone type theorems (i.e., asserting that isometries must be of a certain form) for separating mapsH between spaces of real- and complex-valued functions have already been developed. The extension of such results to spaces of vector-valued functions is the general subject of this paper. We prove in Theorem 4.1, for example, for compactX andY, that a linear isometryH betweenC(X,E) andC(Y,F) is a “Banach-Stone” map if and only ifH is “biseparating (i.e,H andH ⁻¹ are separating). The Banach-Stone theorems of Jerison and Lau for vector-valued functions are then deduced in Corollaries 4.3 and 4.4 for the cases whenE andF or their topological duals, respectively, are strictly convex.

Itô’s stochastic calculus and Heisenberg commutation relations

Stochastic calculus and stochastic differential equations for Brownian motion were introduced by K. Itô in order to give a pathwise construction of diffusion processes. This calculus has deep connections with objects such as the Fock space and the Heisenberg canonical commutation relations, which have a central role in quantum physics. We review these connections, and give a brief introduction to the noncommutative extension of Itô’s stochastic integration due to Hudson and Parthasarathy. Then we apply this scheme to show how finite Markov chains can be constructed by solving stochastic differential equations, similar to diffusion equations, on the Fock space.     

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).     

DIEUDONNÉ—KÖTHE DUALITY FOR VECTOR—VALUED FUNCTION SPACES: LOCALIZATION OF BOUNDED SETS AND BARRELLEDNESS

Abstract

We study Dieudonné-Köthe spaces of Lusin-measurable functions with values in a locally convex space. Let Λ be a solid locally convex lattice of scalar-valued measurable functions defined on a measure space Ω. If E is a locally convex space, define Λ {E} as the space of all Lusinmeasurable functions f: Ω → E such that q(f(·)) is a function in Λ for every continuous seminorm q on E. The space Λ {E} is topologized in a natural way and we study some aspects of the locally convex structure of A {E}; namely, bounded sets, completeness, duality and barrelledness. In particular, we focus on the important case when Λ and E are both either metrizable or (DF)-spaces and derive good permanence results for reflexivity when the density condition holds.
