AnF-space with trivial dual and non-trivial compact endomorphisms

We give an example of anF-space which has non-trivial compact endomorphisms, but does not have any non-trivial continuous linear functionals.     

Banach spaces embedding intoL 0

Our main result in this paper is that a Banach spaceX embeds intoL ₁ if and only ifl ₁(X) embeds intoL ₀; more generally if 1≦p<2,X embeds intoL _p if and only ifl _p(X) embeds intoL ₀. Research supported by NSF grant MCS-8301099.     

Szlenk indices and uniform homeomorphisms

We prove some rather precise renorming theorems for Banach spaces with Szlenk index We use these theorems to show the invariance of certain quantitative Szlenk-type indices under uniform homeomorphisms.

     

Fully symmetric functionals on a Marcinkiewicz space are Dixmier traces

As a consequence of the exposition of Dixmier type traces in the book of A. Connes (1994) [2], we were led to ask how general is this class of functionals within the space of all unitarily invariant functionals on the corresponding Marcinkiewicz ideal Mψ. In this paper we prove the surprising result that the set of all Dixmier traces on Mψ coincides with the set of all fully symmetric functionals on this space.     

Positive definite distributions and normed spaces

We answer a question of Alex Koldobsky. We show that for each −∞<p<2 and each n?3−p there is a normed space X of dimension n which embeds in Ls if and only if −n<s?p.
