Non-amenability of ${\mathcal {B}}(E)$ has been surprisingly difficult to prove for the classical Banach spaces, but is now known for E = ℓ p and E = L p for all 1 ⩽ p < ∞. However, the arguments are rather indirect: the proof for L1 goes via non-amenability of $\ell ^\infty ({\mathcal {K}}(\ell _1))$ and a transference principle developed by Daws and Runde (Studia Math., 2010). In this note, we provide a short proof that ${\mathcal {B}}(L_1)$ and some of its subalgebras are non-amenable, which completely bypasses all of this machinery. Our approach is based on classical properties of the ideal of representable operators on L1, and shows that ${\mathcal {B}}(L_1)$ is not even approximately amenable.

Let $I\subset K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be  a zero-dimensional monomial ideal, and $\Delta(I)$ be the simplicial complex whose Stanley--Reisner ideal is the polarization of $I$. It follows from a result of Soleyman Jahan that $\Delta(I)$ is shellable. We give a new short proof of this fact by providing an explicit shelling. Moreover, we show that  $\Delta(I)$ is even vertex decomposable. The ideal $L(I)$, which is defined to be the Stanley--Reisner ideal of the Alexander dual of $\Delta(I)$, has a linear resolution which is cellular and supported on a regular CW-complex. All powers of $L(I)$ have a linear resolution. We compute $\mathrm{depth}\ L(I)^k$ and show that $\mathrm{depth}\ L(I)^k=n$ for all $k\geq n$.

AbstractWe define and study λ-strict ideals in Banach spaces, which for λ=1 means strict ideals. Strict u-ideals in their biduals are known to have the unique ideal property; we prove that so also do λ-strict u-ideals in their biduals, at least for λ>1/2. An open question, posed by Godefroy et al. [‘Unconditional ideals in Banach spaces’, Studia Math.104 (1993), 13–59] is whether the Banach space X is a u-ideal in Ba(X), the Baire-one functions in X**, exactly when κu(X)=1; we prove that if κu(X)=1 then X is a strict u-ideal in Ba (X) , and we establish the converse in the separable case.

AbstractLet X be a Banach space. Fix a torsion-free commutative and cancellative semigroup S whose torsion-free rank is the same as the density of $$X^{**}$$ X ∗ ∗ . We then show that X is complemented in $$X^{**}$$ X ∗ ∗ if and only if there exists an invariant mean $$M:\ell _\infty (S,X)\rightarrow X$$ M : ℓ ∞ ( S , X ) → X . This improves upon previous results due to Bustos Domecq (J Math Anal Appl 275(2):512–520, 2002), Kania (J Math Anal Appl 445:797–802, 2017), Goucher and Kania (Studia Math 260:91–101, 2021).

Let [Formula: see text] be a non-negative function such that [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text]. The well-known Jarník–Besicovtich theorem concerns the Hausdorff dimension of the set of [Formula: see text]- approximable numbers. In this paper, we give an alternative but short proof of the Jarník–Besicovitch theorem for approximating functions with no monotonicity. The main tool is the appropriate usage of the mass transference principle of Beresnevich–Velani [A mass transference principle and the Duffin–Schaeffer conjecture for Hausdorff measures, Ann. of Math. (2) 164(3) (2006) 971–992].

We discuss an alternative approach to Fréchet derivatives on Banach spaces inspired by a characterisation of derivatives due to Carathéodory. The approach allows many questions of differentiability to be reduced to questions of continuity. We demonstrate how that simplifies the theory of differentiation, including the rules of differentiation and the Schwarz lemma on the symmetry of second-order derivatives. We also provide a short proof of the differentiable dependence of fixed points in the Banach fixed point theorem.

We investigate here classes of operators T between Banach spaces E and F, which have factorization of the formwhere L is a Banach lattice, V is a p-convex operator, U is a q-concave operator (definitions below) and jF is the cannonical embedding of F in F”. We show that for fixed p, q this class forms a perfect normed ideal of operators Mp, q, generalizing the ideal Ip,q of [5]. We prove (Proposition 5) that Mp, q may be characterized by factorization through p-convex and q-concave Banach lattices. We use this fact together with a variant of the complex interpolation method introduced in [1], to show that an operator which belongs to Mp, q may be factored through a Banach lattice with modulus of uniform convexity (uniform smoothness) of power type arbitrarily close to q (to p). This last result yields similar geometric properties in subspaces of spaces having G.L. – l.u.st.

AbstractFor a Banach space $\mathfrak{X}$, let $\mathcal{B}(\mathfrak{X})$ denote the Banach algebra of all continuous linear operators on $\mathfrak{X}$. First, we study the lattice of closed ideals in $\mathcal{B}(\mathfrak{J}_p)$, where $1 \lt p \t \infty$ and $\mathfrak{J}_p$ is the $p$th James space. Our main result is that the ideal of weakly compact operators is the unique maximal ideal in $\mathcal{B}(\mathfrak{J}_p)$. Applications of this result include the following.(i) The Brown–McCoy radical of $\mathcal{B}(\mathfrak{X})$, which by definition is the intersection of all maximal ideals in $\mathcal{B}(\mathfrak{X})$, cannot be turned into an operator ideal. This implies that there is no ‘Brown–McCoy’ analogue of Pietsch’s construction of the operator ideal of inessential operators from the Jacobson radical of $\mathcal{B}(\mathfrak{X})/\mathcal{A}(\mathfrak{X})$.(ii) For each natural number $n$ and each $n$-tuple $(m_1,\dots,m_n)$ in $\{k^2\mid k\in\mathbb{N}\}\cup\{\infty\}$, there is a Banach space $\mathfrak{X}$ such that $\mathcal{B}(\mathfrak{X})$ has exactly $n$ maximal ideals, and these maximal ideals have codimensions $m_1,\dots,m_n$ in $\mathcal{B}(\mathfrak{X})$, respectively; the Banach space $\mathfrak{X}$ is a finite direct sum of James spaces and $\ell_p$-spaces.Second, building on the work of Gowers and Maurey, we obtain further examples of Banach spaces $\mathfrak{X}$ such that all the maximal ideals in $\mathcal{B}(\mathfrak{X})$ can be classified. We show that the ideal of strictly singular operators is the unique maximal ideal in $\mathcal{B}(\mathfrak{X})$ for each hereditarily indecomposable Banach space $\mathfrak{X}$, and we prove that there are $2^{2^{\aleph_0}}$ distinct maximal ideals in $\mathcal{B}(\mathfrak{G})$, where $\mathfrak{G}$ is the Banach space constructed by Gowers to solve Banach’s hyperplane problem.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 47D30; 47D50; 46H10; 16D30

AbstractGiven a Banach operator ideal $\mathcal A$, we investigate the approximation property related to the ideal of $\mathcal A$-compact operators, $\mathcal K_{\mathcal A}$-AP. We prove that a Banach space X has the $\mathcal K_{\mathcal A}$-AP if and only if there exists a λ ≥ 1 such that for every Banach space Y and every R ∈ $\mathcal K_{\mathcal A}$(Y, X), $$ \begin{equation} R \in \overline {\{SR : S \in \mathcal F(X, X), \|SR\|_{\mathcal K_{\mathcal A}} \leq \lambda \|R\|_{\mathcal K_{\mathcal A}}\}}^{\tau_{c}}. \end{equation} $$ For a surjective, maximal and right-accessible Banach operator ideal $\mathcal A$, we prove that a Banach space X has the $\mathcal K_{(\mathcal A^{{\rm adj}})^{{\rm dual}}}$-AP if the dual space of X has the $\mathcal K_{\mathcal A}$-AP.
