Interpolating hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces

The following dichotomy is proved.

Every Banach space either contains a subspace isomorphic to , or it has an infinite-dimensional closed subspace which is a quotient of a Hereditarily Indecomposable (H.I.) separable Banach space.

In the particular case of , it is shown that the space itself is a quotient of a H.I. space. The factorization of certain classes of operators, acting between Banach spaces, through H.I. spaces is also investigated. Among others it is shown that the identity operator admits a factorization through a H.I. space. The same result holds for every strictly singular operator .

Interpolation methods and the geometric concept of thin convex sets together with the techniques concerning the construction of Hereditarily Indecomposable spaces are used to obtain the above mentioned results.     

A universal property of reflexive hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces

It is shown that every separable Banach space universal for the class of reflexive Hereditarily Indecomposable space contains isomorphically and hence it is universal for all separable spaces. This result shows the large variety of reflexive H.I. spaces.

     

Strictly singular non-compact operators on hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces

An example is given of a strictly singular non-compact operator on a Hereditarily Indecomposable, reflexive, asymptotic Banach space. The construction of this operator relies on the existence of transfinite -spreading models in the dual of the space.

     

A dual method of constructing hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces

A new method of defining hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces is presented. This method provides a unified approach for constructing reflexive HI spaces and also HI spaces with no reflexive subspace. All the spaces presented here satisfy the property that the composition of any two strictly singular operators is a compact one. This yields the first known example of a Banach space with no reflexive subspace such that every operator has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace.     

Uniqueness of complex structure and real hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces

There exists a real hereditarily indecomposable Banach space X=X(C) (respectively X=X(H)) such that the algebra L(X)/S(X) is isomorphic to C (respectively to the quaternionic division algebra H).Up to isomorphism, X(C) has exactly two complex structures, which are conjugate, totally incomparable, and both hereditarily indecomposable. So there exist two Banach spaces which are isometric as real spaces but totally incomparable as complex spaces. This extends results of J. Bourgain and S. Szarek [J. Bourgain, Real isomorphic complex Banach spaces need not be complex isomorphic, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 96 (2) (1986) 221-226; S. Szarek, On the existence and uniqueness of complex structure and spaces with “few” operators, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 293 (1) (1986) 339-353; S. Szarek, A superreflexive Banach space which does not admit complex structure, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 97 (3) (1986) 437-444], and proves that a theorem of G. Godefroy and N.J. Kalton [G. Godefroy, N.J. Kalton, Lipschitz-free Banach spaces, Studia Math. 159 (1) (2003) 121-141] about isometric embeddings of separable real Banach spaces does not extend to the complex case.The quaternionic example X(H), on the other hand, has unique complex structure up to isomorphism; other examples with a unique complex structure are produced, including a space with an unconditional basis and non-isomorphic to l₂. This answers a question of S. Szarek in [S. Szarek, A superreflexive Banach space which does not admit complex structure, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 97 (3) (1986) 437-444].     

A hereditarily indecomposable Banach space with rich spreading model structure

We present a reflexive Banach space \(\mathfrak{X}_{usm}\) which is Hereditarily Indecomposable and satisfies the following properties. In every subspace Y of \(\mathfrak{X}_{usm}\) there exists a weakly null normalized sequence {y _n } _n , such that every subsymmetric sequence {z _n } _n is isomorphically generated as a spreading model of a subsequence of {y _n } _n . Also, in every block subspace Y of \(\mathfrak{X}_{usm}\) there exists a seminormalized block sequence {z _n } and \(T:\mathfrak{X}_{usm} \to \mathfrak{X}_{usm}\) an isomorphism such that for every n ∈ ?, T(z _2n?1) = z _2n . Thus the space is an example of an HI space which is not tight by range in a strong sense.     

On the classes of hereditarily ℓp Banach spaces

Let X denote a specific space of the class of X _α,p Banach sequence spaces which were constructed by Hagler and the first named author as classes of hereditarily ℓ_p Banach spaces. We show that for p > 1 the Banach space X contains asymptotically isometric copies of ℓ_p. It is known that any member of the class is a dual space. We show that the predual of X contains isometric copies of ℓ_p where 1/p + 1/q = 1. For p = 1 it is known that the predual of the Banach space X contains asymptotically isometric copies of c ₀. Here we give a direct proof of the known result that X contains asymptotically isometric copies of ℓ₁.

A non-metric perfectly normal hereditarily indecomposable continuum

We construct an example of a non-metric perfectly normal hereditarily indecomposable continuum. The example is constructed as an inverse limit of non-metric analogues of solenoids. Theorems needed to insure perfect normality are stated and proven. It is shown that the example cannot be embedded in a countable product of Hausdorff arcs.     

A uniformly convex hereditarily indecomposable banach space

We construct a uniformly convex hereditarily indecomposable Banach space, using a method similar to the one of Gowers and Maurey in [GM], and the theory of complex interpolation for a family of Banach spaces of Coifman, Cwikel, Rochberg, Sagher, and Weiss ([CCRSW1]).     

Properties of operator stable distributions in infinite-dimensional Banach spaces

The results of this paper concern the connections between different characterizations of operator stable distributions in infinite-dimensional separable Banach spaces. Such assertions are closely related with the strong and uniform operator topology. In particular, the new motions of strongly and uniformlyG-stable distributions are discussed.

Local automorphisms of operator algebras on Banach spaces

In this paper we extend a result of Semrl stating that every 2-local automorphism of the full operator algebra on a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space is an automorphism. In fact, besides separable Hilbert spaces, we obtain the same conclusion for the much larger class of Banach spaces with Schauder bases. The proof rests on an analogous statement concerning the 2-local automorphisms of matrix algebras for which we present a short proof. The need to get such a proof was formulated in Semrl's paper.

     

Hyperspaces and open monotone maps of hereditarily indecomposable continua

We prove the following theorems:

Theorem 1. Let be an -dimensional hereditarily indecomposable continuum. Then there exist -dimensional hereditarily indecomposable continua and monotone maps such that is an embedding and the space of all subcontinua of is embeddable in by .

Theorem 2. For every open monotone map with non-trivial sufficiently small fibers on a finite dimensional hereditarily indecomposable continuum with there exists a -dimensional subcontinuum such that and the restriction of to is also monotone and open.

The connection between these theorems and other results in Hyperspace theory is studied.
