Relative compactness of orbits and geometry of Banach spaces

Functional Analysis 2020-07-03 v2

Abstract

We investigate for a bounded semigroup of linear operators SS on a Banach space EE and a vector xEx \in E, when relative compactness of S(IT)xS(I-T)x for every TST \in S implies relative compactness of the orbit SxSx. In particular, we derive characterizations of separable Banach spaces not containing c0\mathrm{c}_0 and of reflexivity of Banach spaces with a Schauder basis in terms of such compactness results.
