We present two new examples of re exive Banach spaces X for which the associated Banach algebra B(X) of bounded operators on X is not a Grothendieck space, namelyX = T (the Tsirelson space) andX = Bp (the p th Baernstein space) for 1 < p <∞.

We show that the centraliser of the space of n-fold symmetric injective tensors, n ≥ 2, on a real Banach space is trivial. With a geometric condition on the set of extreme points of its dual, the space of integral polynomials we obtain the same result for complex Banach spaces. We give some applications of this results to centralisers of spaces of homogeneous polynomials and complex Banach spac...

We show that the Lipschitz structure of a separable quasi-Banach space does not determine, in general, its linear structure. Using the notion of the Arens-Eells p-space over a metric space for 0 < p ≤ 1 we construct examples of separable quasi-Banach spaces which are Lipschitz isomorphic but not linearly isomorphic.

The implicit midpoint rule (IMR) for nonexpansive mappings is established in Banach spaces. The IMR generates a sequence by an implicit algorithm. Weak convergence of this algorithm is proved in a uniformly convex Banach space which either satisfies Opial’s property or has a Fréchet differentiable norm. Consequently, this algorithm applies in both `p and Lp for 1 < p < ∞.

Column and row operator spaces — which we denote by COL and ROW, respectively — over arbitrary Banach spaces were introduced by the first-named author; for Hilbert spaces, these definitions coincide with the usual ones. Given a locally compact group G and p, p ∈ (1,∞) with 1 p + 1 p = 1, we use the operator space structure on CB(COL(L ′ (G))) to equip the Figà-Talamanca–Herz algebra Ap(G) with ...

In this paper, we introduce generalized cyclic φ-contraction maps in metric spaces and give some results of best proximity points of such mappings in the setting of a uniformly convex Banach space. Moreover, we obtain convergence and existence results of proximity points of the mappings on reflexive Banach spaces

For 0 < p < 1 we give examples of Banach spaces isometrically embedding into Lp but not into any Lr with p < r ≤ 1.

For 0 < p < 1 we give examples of Banach spaces isometrically embedding into Lp but not into any Lr with p < r < 1.

We say that a Banach space X is the unique predual of its dual (more precisely the unique isometric predual of its dual) in case it is isometric to any Banach space whose dual is isometric to the dual of X. (We say that two Banach spaces Y and Z are isomorphic if there is a bounded linear bijective operator T : Y → Z with bounded inverse T; if moreover ‖T (y)‖ = ‖y‖ for all y ∈ Y we say that Y ...
