AbstractWe discuss two problems concerning the class Eberlein compacta, i.e., weakly compact subspaces of Banach spaces. The first one deals with preservation of some classes of scattered Eberlein compacta under continuous images. The second one concerns the known problem of the existence of nonmetrizable compact spaces without nonmetrizable zero-dimensional closed subspaces. We show that the existence of such Eberlein compacta is consistent with . We also show that it is consistent with that each Eberlein compact space of weight $$> \omega _1$$ > ω 1 contains a nonmetrizable closed zero-dimensional subspace.

AbstractHyadic spaces are the continuous images of a hyperspace of a compact space. We prove that every non-isolated point in a hyadic space is the endpoint of some infinite cardinal subspace. We isolate a more general order-theoretic property of hyerspaces of compact spaces which is also enjoyed by compact semilattices from which the theorem follows.

AbstractWe study maximal pseudocompact spaces calling them also MP-spaces. We show that the product of a maximal pseudocompact space and a countable compact space is maximal pseudocompact. If X is hereditarily maximal pseudocompact then X × Y is hereditarily maximal pseudocompact for any first countable compact space Y. It turns out that hereditary maximal pseudocompactness coincides with the Preiss-Simon property in countably compact spaces. In compact spaces, hereditary MP-property is invariant under continuous images while this is not true for the class of countably compact spaces. We prove that every Fréchet-Urysohn compact space is homeomorphic to a retract of a compact MP-space. We also give a ZFC example of a Fréchet-Urysohn compact space which is not maximal pseudocompact. Therefore maximal pseudocompactness is not preserved by continuous images in the class of compact spaces.

AbstractWe discuss the existence of universal spaces (either in the sense of embeddings or continuous images) for some classes of scattered Eberlein compacta. Given a cardinal κ, we consider the class δκof all scattered Eberlein compact spaces K of weight ≤ κ and such that the second Cantor-Bendixson derivative of K is a singleton. We prove that if κ is an uncountable cardinal such that κ = 2≤κ, then there exists a space X in δκ such that every member of δκ is homeomorphic to a retract of X. We show that it is consistent that there does not exist a universal space (either by embeddings or by mappings onto) in . Assuming that = ω1, we prove that there exists a space X ∈ which is universal in the sense of embeddings. We also show that it is consistent that there exists a space X bΕ, universal in the sense of embeddings, but δω1 does not contain an universal element in the sense of mappings onto.

AbstractWe prove a result on compactness properties of Fréchet-derivatives which implies that the Fréchet-derivative of a weakly compact map between Banach spaces is weakly compact. This result is applied to characterize certain weakly compact composition operators on Sobolev spaces which have application in the theory of nonlinear integral equations and in the calculus of variations.

AbstractIn this paper, we introduce the polynomial numerical index of order $k$ of a Banach space, generalizing to $k$-homogeneous polynomials the ‘classical’ numerical index defined by Lumer in the 1970s for linear operators. We also prove some results. Let $k$ be a positive integer. We then have the following:(i) $n^{(k)}(C(K))=1$ for every scattered compact space $K$.(ii) The inequality $n^{(k)}(E)\geq k^{k/(1-k)}$ for every complex Banach space $E$ and the constant $k^{k/(1-k)}$ is sharp.(iii) The inequalities$$ n^{(k)}(E)\leq n^{(k-1)}(E)\leq\frac{k^{(k+(1/(k-1)))}}{(k-1)^{k-1}}n^{(k)}(E) $$for every Banach space $E$.(iv) The relation between the polynomial numerical index of $c_0$, $l_1$, $l_{\infty}$ sums of Banach spaces and the infimum of the polynomial numerical indices of them.(v) The relation between the polynomial numerical index of the space $C(K,E)$ and the polynomial numerical index of $E$.(vi) The inequality $n^{(k)}(E^{**})\leq n^{(k)}(E)$ for every Banach space $E$.Finally, some results about the numerical radius of multilinear maps and homogeneous polynomials on $C(K)$ and the disc algebra are given.

In this paper we adopt the notion of orthogonality in Banach spaces introduced by the author in [6]. There, the author showed that in any two-dimensional subspace F of E, every nonzero element admits at most one orthogonal direction. The problem of existence of such orthogonal direction was not addressed before. Our main purpose in this paper is the investigation of this problem in the case where E is a real Banach space. As a result we obtain a characterisation of Hilbert spaces stating that, if in every two-dimensional subspace F of E every nonzero element admits an orthogonal direction, then E is isometric to a Hilbert space. We conclude by presenting some open problems.

A Banach space E is said to have Property (w) if every operator from E into E' is weakly compact. This property was introduced by E. and P. Saab in [9]. They observe that for Banach lattices, Property (w) is equivalent to Property (V*), which in turn is equivalent to the Banach lattice having a weakly sequentially complete dual. Thus the following question was raised in [9].Does every Banach space with Property (w) have a weakly sequentially complete dual, or even Property (V*)?In this paper, we give two examples, both of which answer the question in the negative. Both examples are James type spaces considered in [1]. They both possess properties stronger than Property (w). The first example has the property that every operator from the space into the dual is compact. In the second example, both the space and its dual have Property (w). In the last section we establish some partial results concerning the problem (also raised in [9]) of whether (w) passes from a Banach space E to C(K, E).

AbstractEvery weakly compact composition operator between weighted Banach spaces of analytic functions with weighted sup-norms is compact. Lower and upper estimates of the essential norm of continuous composition operators are obtained. The norms of the point evaluation functionals on the Banach space are also estimated, thus permitting to get new characterizations of compact composition operators between these spaces.
