Hyper-Stonean envelopes of compact spaces

Hyper-stonean Envelopes of Compact Spaces

Let K be a compact space, and denote by K̃ its hyperStonean envelope. We discuss the class of spaces K with the property that K̃ is homeomorphic to Ĩ, the hyper-Stonean envelope of the closed unit interval I. Certainly each uncountable, compact, metrizable space K belongs to this class. We describe several further classes of compact spaces K for which K̃ = Ĩ. In fact, K̃ = Ĩ if and only if the Bana...

Injective Envelopes of Banach Spaces

Banach Envelopes of Non-locally Convex Spaces

Then Xc is the completion of {X, \\ \\c). Alternatively || ||c is the Minkowski functional of the convex hull of the unit ball. Xc has the property that any bounded linear operator L:X —> Z into a Banach space extends with preservation of norm to an operator L\XC —» Z. The Banach envelope of / (0 < p < 1) is, of course, lx. In 1969, Duren, Romberg and Shields [3] identified the dual space of H_...

Locally Compact, Ω1-compact Spaces

This paper is centered on an extremely general problem: Problem. Is it consistent (perhaps modulo large cardinals) that a locally compact space X must be the union of countably many ω-bounded subspaces if every closed discrete subspace of X is countable [in other words, if X is ω1-compact]? A space is ω-bounded if every countable subset has compact closure. This is a strengthening of countable ...

Spaces of Compact Operators

In this paper we study the structure of the Banach space K(E, F) of all compact linear operators between two Banach spaces E and F. We study three distinct problems: weak compactness in K(E, F), subspaces isomorphic to l~ and complementation of K(E, F) in L(E, F), the space of bounded linear operators. In § 2 we derive a simple characterization of the weakly compact subsets of K(E, F) using a c...
