Grothendieck space ideals and weak continuity of polynomials on locally convex spaces

We introduce the classes of locally convex spaces with the local Dunford-Pettis property and locally dual Schur spaces. We examine their properties and their relationship to other classes of locally convex spaces. In the class of locally convex spaces with the local Dunford-Pettis property all polynomials are weakly sequentially continuous whereas in the class of locally dual Schur spaces all polynomials are weakly continuous on bounded sets.

A property of Dunford-Pettis type in topological groups

The property of Dunford-Pettis for a locally convex space was introduced by Grothendieck in 1953. Since then it has been intensively studied, with especial emphasis in the framework of Banach space theory.

In this paper we define the Bohr sequential continuity property (BSCP) for a topological Abelian group. This notion could be the analogue to the Dunford-Pettis property in the context of groups. We have picked this name because the Bohr topology of the group and of the dual group plays an important role in the definition. We relate the BSCP with the Schur property, which also admits a natural formulation for Abelian topological groups, and we prove that they are equivalent within the class of separable metrizable locally quasi-convex groups.

For Banach spaces (or for metrizable locally convex spaces), considered in their additive structure, we show that the BSCP lies between the Schur and the Dunford-Pettis properties.

     

Duality and Reflexivity of Spaces of Approximable Polynomials on Locally Convex Spaces

 We develop a duality theory for spaces of approximable n-homogeneous polynomials on locally convex spaces, generalising results previously obtained for Banach spaces. For E a Fréchet space with its dual having the approximation property and with E′ _b locally Asplund we show that the space of n-homogeneous polynomials on (E′ _b )′ _b is the inductive dual of the space of boundedly weakly continuous n-homogeneous polynomials on E. We show that when E is a reflexive Fréchet space, the space of n-homogeneous polynomials on E is reflexive if and only if every n-homogeneous polynomial on E is boundedly weakly continuous.

Infra-Mackey spaces, weak barrelledness and barrelledness

A weaker Mackey topology, infra-Mackey topology, is introduced. For an infra-Mackey space, dual local quasi-completeness, c₀-quasi-barrelledness, Ruess' property (quasi-L) and C-quasi-barrelledness are equivalent to each other. Inspired by the definition of Mazur spaces, locally convex spaces are classified according to various conditions ensuring linear functionals continuous. In the classification, every class of special locally convex spaces is characterized by some completeness of the duals. From this, some new characterizations of quasi-barrelledness and barrelledness are given.

Weakly K-analytic spaces and the three-space property for analyticity

Let (E,E^′) be a dual pair of vector spaces. The paper studies general conditions which allow to lift analyticity (or K-analyticity) from the weak topology σ(E,E^′) to stronger ones in the frame of (E,E^′). First we show that the Mackey dual of a space Cp(X) is analytic iff the space X is countable. This yields that for uncountable analytic spaces X the Mackey dual of Cp(X) is weakly analytic but not analytic. We show that the Mackey dual E of an (LF)-space of a sequence of reflexive separable Fréchet spaces with the Heinrich density condition is analytic, i.e. E is a continuous image of the Polish space NN. This extends a result of Valdivia. We show also that weakly quasi-Suslin locally convex Baire spaces are metrizable and complete (this extends a result of De Wilde and Sunyach). We provide however a large class of weakly analytic but not analytic metrizable separable Baire topological vector spaces (not locally convex!). This will be used to prove that analyticity is not a three-space property but we show that a metrizable topological vector space E is analytic if E contains a complete locally convex analytic subspace F such that the quotient E/F is analytic. Several questions, remarks and examples are included.     

Cesaro mean convergence of martingale differences in rearrangement invariant spaces

We study the class of r.i. spaces in which Cesaro means of any weakly null martingale difference sequence is strongly null. This property is related to the Banach-Saks property. We show that in classical (separable) r.i. spaces (such as Orlicz, Lorentz and Marcinkiewicz spaces) these properties coincide but this is no longer true for general r.i. spaces. We locate also a class of r.i. spaces having this property where an analogue of the classical Dunford-Pettis characterization of relatively weakly compact subsets in L ₁ holds.

Gantmacher Type Theorems for Holomorphic Mappings

Given a holomorphic mapping of bounded type g ∈ H_b(U, F), where U ? E is a balanced open subset, and E, F are complex Banach spaces, let A : H_b(F) ∈ H_b(U) be the homomorphism defined by A(f) = fog for all f ∈ H_b(F). We prove that: (a) for F having the Dunford-Pettis property, A is weakly compact if and only if g is weakly compact; (b) A is completely continuous if and only if g(W) is a Dunford-Pettis set for every U-bounded subset W ? U. To obtain these results, we prove that the class of Dunford - Pettis sets is stable under projecti ve tensor products. Moreover, we diaracterize the reflexivity of the space H_b(U,F) and prove that E' and F have the Schur property if and only if H_b(U, F) has the Schur property. As an application, we obtain some results on linearization of holomorphic mappings.     

Polynomial reflexivity in Banach spaces

We ask when the space ofN-homogeneous analytic polynomials on a Banach space is reflexive. This turns out to be related to whether polynomials are weakly sequentially continuous, and to the geometry of spreading models. For example, if these spaces are reflexive for allN, no quotient of the dual space may have a spreading model with an upperq-estimate, and every bounded holomorphic function on the unit ball has a Taylor series made up of weakly sequentially continuous polynomials (we assume the approximation property). Alencar, Aron and Dineen [AAD] gave the first example of some properties of a polynomially reflexive space (usingT*, the original Tsirelson space); we show that these properties and others are shared by all polynomially reflexive spaces. This paper forms a portion of the Ph. D. dissertation of the author, under the supervision of W. B. Johnson.     

A generalization of the Bochner integral to locally convex spaces

We present a generalization of the Bochner integral to locally convex spaces. This generalization preserves the nuclearity of the mapping of the space of continuous functions on a compactum represented by the Bochner integral. We introduce locally convex spaces in which the study of a broad class of vector measures with values in these spaces reduces to the study of measures with values in a normed space. The results obtained are used to describe Fréchet spaces possessing the RN property.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 18, No. 4, pp. 577–588, October, 1975.     

Strong Minkowski Separation and Co-Drop Property

In the framework of topological vector spaces, we give a characterization of strong Minkowski separation, introduced by Cheng, et al., in terms of convex body separation. From this, several results on strong Minkowski separation are deduced. Using the results, we prove a drop theorem involving weakly countably compact sets in locally convex spaces. Moreover, we introduce the notion of the co-drop property and show that every weakly countably compact set has the co-drop property. If the underlying locally convex space is quasi-complete, then a bounded weakly closed set has the co-drop property if and only if it is weakly countably compact.     

About positive Dunford-Pettis operators on Banach lattices

We give several characterizations of Banach lattices on which each positive Dunford-Pettis operator is compact. As consequences, we obtain new sufficient and necessary conditions under which a norm of a Banach lattice is order continuous, a positive weakly compact operator is compact and the dual operator of a positive Dunford-Pettis operator is Dunford-Pettis.     

The Approximation Property and Locally Convex Spaces Defined by the Ideal of Approximable Operators

The connection between the approximation property and certain classes of locally convex spaces associated with the ideal ?? of approximable operators will be discussed. It will be shown that a Frechet Montel space has the approximation property iff it is a mixed ??-space, or equivalently, iff its strong dual is a ??-space. Similarly, a Silva space has the approximation property iff it is a mixed ??-space or equivalently iff it is a ??-space. We shall also show that a Frechet Schwartz space with the bounded approximation property is always a ??-space.     

Reflexive cones

Reflexive cones in Banach spaces are cones with weakly compact intersection with the unit ball. In this paper we study the structure of this class of cones. We investigate the relations between the notion of reflexive cones and the properties of their bases. This allows us to prove a characterization of reflexive cones in term of the absence of a subcone isomorphic to the positive cone of $\ell _{1}$ . Moreover, the properties of some specific classes of reflexive cones are investigated. Namely, we consider the reflexive cones such that the intersection with the unit ball is norm compact, those generated by a Schauder basis and the reflexive cones regarded as ordering cones in Banach spaces. Finally, it is worth to point out that a characterization of reflexive spaces and also of the spaces with the Schur property by the properties of reflexive cones is given.

On the dual positive Schur property in Banach lattices

The paper contains several characterizations of Banach lattices $E$ with the dual positive Schur property (i.e., $0 \le f_n \xrightarrow {\sigma (E^*,E)} 0$ implies $\Vert f_n\Vert \rightarrow 0$ ) and various examples of spaces having this property. We also investigate relationships between the dual positive Schur property, the positive Schur property, the positive Grothendieck property and the weak Dunford–Pettis property.
