We create a new family of Banach spaces, the James–Schreier spaces, by amalgamating two important classical Banach spaces: James’ quasi-reflexive Banach space on the one hand and Schreier’s Banach space giving a counterexample to the Banach–Saks property on the other. We then investigate the properties of these James–Schreier spaces, paying particular attention to how key properties of their ‘a...

Let X be a complex Banach space. We show that the following are equivalent: (i) X has the complete continuity property, (ii) for every (or equivalently for some) 1 < p < ∞, for f ∈ h(D, X) and rn ↑ 1, the sequence frn is p-Pettis-Cauchy, where frn is defined by frn(t) = f(rne ) for t ∈ [0, 2π], (iii) for every (or equivalently for some) 1 < p < ∞, for every μ ∈ V (X), the bounded linear operato...

for suitable banach spaces $x$ and $y$ with schauder decompositions and‎ ‎a suitable closed subspace $mathcal{m}$ of some compact operator space from $x$ to $y$‎, ‎it is shown that the strong banach-saks-ness of all evaluation‎ ‎operators on ${mathcal m}$ is a sufficient condition for the weak‎ ‎banach-saks property of ${mathcal m}$, where for each $xin x$ and $y^*in‎ ‎y^*$‎, ‎the evaluation op...

We show that if a separable Banach space Z contains isometric copies of every strictly convex separable Banach space, then Z actually contains an isometric copy of every separable Banach space. We prove that if Y is any separable Banach space of dimension at least 2, then the collection of separable Banach spaces which contain an isometric copy of Y is analytic non Borel.

A necessary and sufficient condition for existence of a Banach space with a finite dimensional decomposition but without the π-property in terms of norms of compositions of projections is found. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 46B15; Secondary 46B07, 46B28. The problem of existence of Banach spaces with the π-property but without a finite dimensional decomposition is one of the...

In this note we show the spectral mapping theorem for the evolution semigroup on L p ((; ; X), 1 p < 1, associated with a strongly continuous cocycle on a Banach space over a continuous ow on a locally compact metric space.

Let E be a rearrangement-invariant Banach function space on [0, 1], and let Γ(E) denote the set of all p ≥ 1 such that any sequence {xn} in E converging weakly to 0 has a subsequence {yn} with supm m−1/p‖ ∑ 1≤k≤m yn‖ < ∞. The set Γi(E) is defined similarly, but only sequences {xn} of independent random variables are taken into account. It is proved (under the assumption Γ(E) = {1}) that if Γi(E...

1. Let X be a Banach space, and B(X) the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators in X. The closed two sided ideals of B(X) (actually, of any Banach algebra) form a complete lattice L(X). Aside from very concrete cases, L(X) has not yet been determined; for instance, when X = l, l ^ p < « > , L(X) is a chain (i.e., totally ordered) with three elements: {o}, B(X) and the ideal C(X) of comp...

In Banach space theory probabilistic techniques play a central role. For example in the local theory of Banach spaces, geometric properties of finite dimensional subspaces are proved from probabilistic inequalities. The probabilistic approach not only enriched Banach space theory, but also introduced Banach space techniques in other areas such as probability or convex geometry. A famous instanc...
