AbstractIt is shown that if a Banach space X admits a Ck-smooth bump function, and X* is Asplund, then X admits Ck-smooth partitions of unity.

In the paper we establish some conditions under which a given sequence of polynomials on a Banach space X supports entire functions of unbounded type, and construct some counter examples. We show that if X is an infinite dimensional Banach space, then the set of entire functions of unbounded type can be represented as a union of infinite dimensional linear subspaces (without the origin). Moreover, we show that for some cases, the set of entire functions of unbounded type generated by a given sequence of polynomials contains an infinite dimensional algebra (without the origin). Some applications for symmetric analytic functions on Banach spaces are obtained.

Abstract Given Banach spaces X and Y, we ask about the dual space of the 𝒧(X, Y). This paper surveys results on tensor products of Banach spaces with the main objective of describing the dual of spaces of bounded operators. In several cases and under a variety of assumptions on X and Y, the answer can best be given as the projective tensor product of X ** and Y *.

Abstract We say that a map $f$ from a Banach space $X$ to another Banach space $Y$ is a phase-isometry if the equality \[ \{\|f(x)+f(y)\|, \|f(x)-f(y)\|\}=\{\|x+y\|, \|x-y\|\} \] holds for all $x,\,y\in X$ . A Banach space $X$ is said to have the Wigner property if for any Banach space $Y$ and every surjective phase-isometry $f : X\rightarrow Y$ , there exists a phase function $\varepsilon : X \rightarrow \{-1,\,1\}$ such that $\varepsilon \cdot f$ is a linear isometry. We present some basic properties of phase-isometries between two real Banach spaces. These enable us to show that all finite-dimensional polyhedral Banach spaces and CL-spaces possess the Wigner property.

1. In this paper, we investigate the ranges of projections on certain Banach spaces of functions defined on a diadic tree. The notion of a “tree-like” Banach space is due to James 4], who used it to construct the separable space JT which has nonseparable dual and yet does not contain l1. This idea has proved useful. In [3], Hagler constructed a hereditarily c0 tree space, HT, and Schechtman [6] constructed, for each 1 ≦ p ≦ ∞, a reflexive Banach space, STp with a 1-unconditional basis which does not contain lp yet is uniformly isomorphic to for each n.In [1] we showed that if U is a bounded linear operator on JT, then there exists a subspace W ⊂ JT, isomorphic to JT such that either U or (1 — U) acts as an isomorphism on W and UW or (1 — U)W is complemented in JT. In this paper, we establish this result for the Hagler and Schechtman tree spaces.

AbstractWe consider two problems concerning Kolmogorov widths of compacts in Banach spaces. The first problem is devoted to relations between the asymptotic behavior of the sequence of n-widths of a compact and of its projections onto a subspace of codimension one. The second problem is devoted to comparison of the sequence of n-widths of a compact in a Banach space 𝒴 and of the sequence of n-widths of the same compact in other Banach spaces containing 𝒴 as a subspace.

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.

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.

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).

AbstractA recent result of Leung (Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 2015) states that the Banach algebra ℬ(X) of bounded, linear operators on the Banach space X = (⊕n∈$\mathbb{N}$ ℓ∞n)ℓ1 contains a unique maximal ideal. We show that the same conclusion holds true for the Banach spaces X = (⊕n∈$\mathbb{N}$ ℓ∞n)ℓp and X = (⊕n∈$\mathbb{N}$ ℓ1n)ℓp whenever p ∈ (1, ∞).
