In this paper we show that the compactness of a Loeb space depends on its cardinality, the nonstandard universe it belongs to and the underlying model of set theory we live in. In §1 we prove that Loeb spaces are compact under various assumptions, and in §2 we prove that Loeb spaces are not compact under various other assumptions. The results in §1 and §2 give a quite complete answer to a quest...

It is useful to treat real-valued functions (or complex-valued functions, or vector space-valued functions) as elements of a vector space, so that the tools from linear algebra can be applied. Given a set X one may consider the vector space R of all real-valued functions with domain X. If X is finite, say with n elements, then this is just the familiar vector space R. The more interesting examp...

Let $T$ be a bounded operator on the Banach space $X$ and $ph$ be an analytic self-map of the unit disk $Bbb{D}$‎. ‎We investigate some operator theoretic properties of‎ ‎bilateral composition operator $C_{ph‎, ‎T}‎: ‎f ri T circ f circ ph$ on the vector-valued Hardy space $H^p(X)$ for $1 leq p leq‎ ‎+infty$.‎ ‎Compactness and weak compactness of $C_{ph‎, ‎T}$ on $H^p(X)$‎ ‎are characterized an...
