Dual problems for weak and quasi approximation properties

It is shown that for the separable dual X^∗ of a Banach space X if X^∗ has the weak approximation property, then X has the metric quasi approximation property. Using this it is shown that for the separable dual X^∗ of a Banach space X the quasi approximation property and metric quasi approximation property are inherited from X^∗ to X and for a separable and reflexive Banach space X, X having the weak approximation property, bounded weak approximation property, quasi approximation property, metric weak approximation property, and metric quasi approximation property are equivalent. Also it is shown that the weak approximation property, bounded weak approximation property, and quasi approximation property are not inherited from a Banach space X to X^∗.     

On relations between weak approximation properties and their inheritances to subspaces

It is shown that for the separable dual X^∗ of a Banach space X, if X^∗ has the weak approximation property, then X^∗ has the metric weak approximation property. We introduce the properties W^∗D and MW^∗D for Banach spaces. Suppose that M is a closed subspace of a Banach space X such that M^⊥ is complemented in the dual space X^∗, where for all m∈M}. Then it is shown that if a Banach space X has the weak approximation property and W^∗D (respectively, metric weak approximation property and MW^∗D), then M has the weak approximation property (respectively, bounded weak approximation property).     

Three-space problems for the bounded compact approximation property

In this paper, the notion of the bounded compact approximation property (BCAP) of a pair [Banach space and its subspace] is used to prove that if X is a closed subspace of L∞ with the BCAP, then L∞/X has the BCAP. We also show that X* has the λ-BCAP with conjugate operators if and only if the pair (X, Y) has the λ-BCAP for each finite codimensional subspace Y∈X. Let M be a closed subspace of X such that M⊥ is complemented in X*. If X has the (bounded) approximation property of order p, then M has the (bounded) approximation property of order p.     

Compactness in

This paper is concerned with compactness for some topologies on the collection of bounded linear operators on Banach spaces. New versions of the Eberlein–Šmulian theorem and Day's lemma in the collection are established. Also we obtain a partial solution of the dual problem for the quasi approximation property, that is, it is shown that for a Banach space X if X^** is separable and X^* has the quasi approximation property, then X has the quasi approximation property.     

The approximation properties determined by operator ideals

We introduce the notion of the right approximation property with respect to an operator ideal A and solve the duality problem for the approximation property with respect to an operator ideal A, that is, a Banach space X has the approximation property with respect to A ^d whenever X* has the right approximation property with respect to an operator ideal A. The notions of the left bounded approximation property and the left weak bounded approximation property for a Banach operator ideal are introduced and new symmetric results are obtained. Finally, the notions of the p-compact sets and the p-approximation property are extended to arbitrary Banach operator ideals. Known results of the approximation property with respect to an operator ideal and the p-approximation property are generalized.     

Lifting bounded approximation properties from Banach spaces to their dual spaces

Based on a new reformulation of the bounded approximation property, we develop a unified approach to the lifting of bounded approximation properties from a Banach space X to its dual X^*. This encompasses cases when X has the unique extension property or X is extendably locally reflexive. In particular, it is shown that the unique extension property of X permits to lift the metric A-approximation property from X to X^*, for any operator ideal A, and that there exists a Banach space X such that X,X**,… are extendably locally reflexive, but X^*,X***,… are not.     

The asymptotically commuting bounded approximation property of Banach spaces

We introduce and study the asymptotically commuting bounded approximation property of Banach spaces. This property is, e.g., enjoyed by any dual space with the bounded approximation property. The principal result is the following: if a Banach space X has the asymptotically λ-commuting bounded approximation property, then X is saturated with locally λ-complemented separable subspaces enjoying the λ-commuting bounded approximation property.     

On dual and three space problems for the compact approximation property

We introduce the properties W^∗D and BW^∗D for the dual space of a Banach space. And then solve the dual problem for the compact approximation property (CAP): if X^∗ has the CAP and the W^∗D, then X has the CAP. Also, we solve the three space problem for the CAP: for example, if M is a closed subspace of a Banach space such that M^⊥ is complemented in X^∗ and X^∗ has the W^∗D, then X has the CAP whenever X/M has the CAP and M has the bounded CAP. Corresponding problems for the bounded compact approximation property are also addressed.     

The strong approximation property and the weak bounded approximation property

We show that the strong approximation property (strong AP) (respectively, strong CAP) and the weak bounded approximation property (respectively, weak BCAP) are equivalent for every Banach space. This gives a negative answer to Oja's conjecture. As a consequence, we show that each of the spaces _c0$c_0$ and _?1${?}_1$ has a subspace which has the AP but fails to have the strong AP.     

Distortion and stability of the fixed point property for non-expansive mappings

Let X be a Banach space. We say that X satisfies the fixed point property (weak fixed point property) if every non-expansive mapping defined from a convex closed bounded (convex weakly compact) subset of X into itself has a fixed point. We say that X satisfies the stable fixed point property (stable weak fixed point property) if the same is true for every equivalent norm which is close enough to the original one. Denote by P(X) the set formed by all equivalent norms with the topology of the uniform convergence on the unit ball of X. We prove that the subset of P(X) formed by the norms failing the fixed point property is dense in P(X) when X is a non-distortable space which fails the fixed point property. In particular, no renorming of ?₁ can satisfy the stable fixed point property. Furthermore, we show some examples of distortable spaces failing the weak fixed point property, which can be renormed to satisfy the stable weak fixed point property. As a consequence we prove that every separable Banach space can be renormed to satisfy the stable weak fixed point property.     

The weak metric approximation property and ideals of operators

We study the weak metric approximation property introduced by Lima and Oja. We show that a Banach space X has the weak metric approximation property if and only if F(Y,X), the space of finite rank operators, is an ideal in W(Y,X∗∗), the space of weakly compact operators for all Banach spaces Y.     

Lipschitz-type functions on metric spaces

In order to find metric spaces X for which the algebra Lip^∗(X) of bounded Lipschitz functions on X determines the Lipschitz structure of X, we introduce the class of small-determined spaces. We show that this class includes precompact and quasi-convex metric spaces. We obtain several metric characterizations of this property, as well as some other characterizations given in terms of the uniform approximation and the extension of uniformly continuous functions. In particular we show that X is small-determined if and only if every uniformly continuous real function on X can be uniformly approximated by Lipschitz functions.     

The bounded approximation property for spaces of holomorphic mappings on infinite dimensional spaces

We study the bounded approximation property for spaces of holomorphic functions. We show that if U is a balanced open subset of a Fréchet–Schwartz space or (DFM )‐space E , then the space ??(U ) of holomorphic mappings on U , with the compact‐open topology, has the bounded approximation property if and only if E has the bounded approximation property.

A characterization of bounded convex approximation properties

The characterization of bounded approximation properties defined by arbitrary operator ideals due to Oja is extended to bounded convex approximation properties. As an application, it is shown that the unique extension property of a Banach space X enables to lift the metric convex approximation property from a Banach space X to its dual space X*.     

New criterion of the approximation property

This paper is concerned with the approximation property which is an important property in Banach space theory. We show that a Banach space X has the approximation property if (and only if), for every Banach space Y, the set of finite rank operators from X to Y is dense in the corresponding space of compact operators, in the usual topology of uniform convergence on compact sets.     

Relatively weakly open subsets of the unit ball in functions spaces

For an infinite Hausdorff compact set K and for any Banach space X we show that every nonempty weak open subset relative to the unit ball of the space of X-valued functions that are continuous when X is equipped with the weak (respectively norm, weak-∗) topology has diameter 2. As consequence, we improve known results about nonexistence of denting points in these spaces. Also we characterize when every nonempty weak open subset relative to the unit ball has diameter 2, for the spaces of Bochner integrable and essentially bounded measurable X-valued functions.     

Banach空间的p-弱近似性质

给出了Banach空间的p-弱近似性质和p-有界弱近似性质的定义,获得了这些性质的一些刻画.利用这些刻画证明了如果一个Banach空间X的对偶空间X~*有p-弱近似性质(或p-有界弱近似性质),则X有p-弱近似性质(或p-有界弱近似性质),在一般情况下反之不成立.     

Complementably universal Banach spaces, II

The two main results are:

A.

If a Banach space X is complementably universal for all subspaces of c₀ which have the bounded approximation property, then X^∗ is non-separable (and hence X does not embed into c₀).

B.

There is no separable Banach space X such that every compact operator (between Banach spaces) factors through X.

Theorem B solves a problem that dates from the 1970s.     

The strong approximation property

We introduce and investigate the strong approximation property of Banach spaces which is strictly stronger than the approximation property and at least formally weaker than the weak bounded approximation property. Among others, we show that the weak bounded approximation property is equivalent to a quantitative strengthening of the strong approximation property. Some recent results on the approximation property of Banach spaces and their dual spaces are improved.     

Fuzzy quasi C*-algebra

At the present paper, the new concepts of fuzzy quasi norm, fuzzy Banach space, fuzzy quasi continuity and fuzzy quasi boundedness is introduced. Furthermore, we define the fuzzy quasi operator norm and also it is shown that the set all of fuzzy quasi bounded operator from X to Y is fuzzy quasi Banach space. Finally, we have introduced and investigated some notions and some results on *-algebra theory.
