Natural Symmetry

Let X be a Banach space. We introduce a concept of orthogonal symmetry and reflection in X. We then establish its relation with the concept of best approximation and investigate its implication on the shape of the unit ball of the Banach space X by considering sections over subspaces. The results are then applied to the space C(I) of continuous functions on a compact set I. We obtain some nontrivial symmetries of the unit ball of C(I). We also show that, under natural symmetry conditions, every odd function is orthogonal to every even function in X. We conclude with some suggestions for further investigations.

SynopsisWe study the existence of left approximate units, left approximate identities and bounded left approximate identities in the algebras (X)of all compact operators on a Banach space X and ℱ(X)− of all operators uniformly approximable by finite rank operators. In the case of bounded left approximate identities, necessary and sufficient conditions on X are obtained. In the other cases, sufficient conditions are obtained, together with an example of non-existence using a space constructed by Szankowski. The possibility of the sufficient conditions being also necessary depends on the question of whether every compact set is contained in the closure of the image of the unit ball under an operator in (X)(or ℱ(X)−). Sufficient conditions on X are obtained for this to be true, but it is conjectured that the answer for general X is negative.

It is shown that ifXis a uniformly convex Banach space andSa bounded linear operator onXfor which‖I−S‖=1, thenSis invertible if and only if‖I−12S‖<1. From this it follows that ifSis invertible onXthen either (i)dist(I,[S])<1, or (ii)0is the unique best approximation toIfrom[S], a natural (partial) converse to the well-known sufficient condition for invertibility thatdist(I,[S])<1.

Finite Dimensional Case

In this paper we provide new geometric invariants of surjective isometries between unit spheres of Banach spaces. Let X,Y be Banach spaces and let T:SX→SY be a surjective isometry. The most relevant geometric invariants under surjective isometries such as T are known to be the starlike sets, the maximal faces of the unit ball, and the antipodal points (in the finite-dimensional case). Here, new geometric invariants are found, such as almost flat sets, flat sets, starlike compatible sets, and starlike generated sets. Also, in this work, it is proved that if F is a maximal face of the unit ball containing inner points, then T(−F)=−T(F). We also show that if [x,y] is a non-trivial segment contained in the unit sphere such that T([x,y]) is convex, then T is affine on [x,y]. As a consequence, T is affine on every segment that is a maximal face. On the other hand, we introduce a new geometric property called property P, which states that every face of the unit ball is the intersection of all maximal faces containing it. This property has turned out to be, in a implicit way, a very useful tool to show that many Banach spaces enjoy the Mazur-Ulam property. Following this line, in this manuscript it is proved that every reflexive or separable Banach space with dimension greater than or equal to 2 can be equivalently renormed to fail property P.

Weakly Compact Sets

In a Banach space, the directional modulus of rotundity, δ (ϵ, z), measures the minimum depth at which the midpoints of all chords of the unit ball which are parallel to z and of length at least ϵ are buried beneath the surface. A Banach space is uniformly rotund in every direction (URED) if δ (ϵ, z) is positive for every positive ϵ and every nonzero element z. This concept of directionalized uniform rotundity was introduced by Garkavi [6] to characterize those Banach spaces in which every bounded subset has at most one Čebyšev center.

Complete Set

Following Lotz, Peck and Porta [9], a continuous linear operator from one Banach space into another is called a semi-embedding if it is one-to-one and maps the closed unit ball of the domain onto a closed (hence complete) set. (Below we shall allow the codomain to be an F-space, i.e., a complete metrisable topological vector space.) One of the main results established in [9] is that if X is a compact scattered space, then every semi-embedding of C(X) into another Banach space is an isomorphism ([9], Main Theorem, (a)⇒(b)).

Extending recent results by Cascales et al. [‘Plasticity of the unit ball of a strictly convex Banach space’, Rev. R. Acad. Cienc. Exactas Fís. Nat. Ser. A Mat.110(2) (2016), 723–727], we demonstrate that for every Banach space $X$ and every collection $Z_{i},i\in I$, of strictly convex Banach spaces, every nonexpansive bijection from the unit ball of $X$ to the unit ball of the sum of $Z_{i}$ by $\ell _{1}$ is an isometry.

Second Dual

Let K be a compact Hausdorff space, and let C(K) be the corresponding Banach space of continuous functions on K. It is well-known that every 1-summing operator S:C(K)→l2 is also nuclear, and therefore factors S = S1S2, with S1:l2→l2 a Hilbert–Schmidt operator and S1:C(K)→l2 a bounded operator. It is easily seen that this latter property is preserved when C(K) is replaced by any quotient, and that a Banach space X enjoys this property if and only if its second dual, X**, does. This led A. Pełczyński [15] to ask if the second dual of a Banach space X must be isomorphic to a quotient of a C(K)-space if X has the property that every 1-summing operator X-→l2 factors through a Hilbert-Schmidt operator. In this paper, we shall first of all reformulate the question in an appropriate manner and then show that counter-examples are available among super-reflexive Tsirelson-like spaces as well as among quasi-reflexive Banach spaces.

Diameter Two Property

AbstractA Δ-point x of a Banach space is a norm-one element that is arbitrarily close to convex combinations of elements in the unit ball that are almost at distance 2 from x. If, in addition, every point in the unit ball is arbitrarily close to such convex combinations, x is a Daugavet point. A Banach space X has the Daugavet property if and only if every norm-one element is a Daugavet point. We show that Δ- and Daugavet points are the same in L1-spaces, in L1-preduals, as well as in a big class of Müntz spaces. We also provide an example of a Banach space where all points on the unit sphere are Δ-points, but none of them are Daugavet points. We also study the property that the unit ball is the closed convex hull of its Δ-points. This gives rise to a new diameter-two property that we call the convex diametral diameter-two property. We show that all C(K) spaces, K infinite compact Hausdorff, as well as all Müntz spaces have this property. Moreover, we show that this property is stable under absolute sums.

Regular Family

AbstractA norm ‖ċ‖ on c00 is called combinatorial if there is a regular family of finite subsets $\mathcal{F}$, so that $\|x\|=\sup_{F \in \mathcal{F}} \sum_{i \in F} |x(i)|$. We prove the set of extreme points of the ball of a combinatorial Banach space is countable. This extends a theorem of Shura and Trautman. The second contribution of this article is to exhibit many new examples of extreme points for the unit ball of dual Tsirelson's original space and give an explicit construction of an uncountable collection of extreme points of the ball of Tsirelson's original space. We also prove some stability properties of the intermediate norms used to define Tsirelson's space and give a lower bound of the stabilization function for these intermediate norms.

Abstract The paper alluded to in the title contains the following striking result: Let $I$ be the unit interval and $\Delta$ the Cantor set. If $X$ is a quasi Banach space containing no copy of $c_{0}$ which is isomorphic to a closed subspace of a space with a basis and $C(I,\,X)$ is linearly homeomorphic to $C(\Delta ,\, X)$ , then $X$ is locally convex, i.e., a Banach space. We will show that Kalton result is sharp by exhibiting non-locally convex quasi Banach spaces $X$ with a basis for which $C(I,\,X)$ and $C(\Delta ,\, X)$ are isomorphic. Our examples are rather specific and actually, in all cases, $X$ is isomorphic to $C(K,\,X)$ if $K$ is a metric compactum of finite covering dimension.
