We construct various examples of non-trivial closed ideals of the compact-by-approximable algebra $\mathfrak{A}_X =:\mathcal K(X)/\mathcal A(X)$ on Banach spaces $X$ failing the approximation property. The examples include the following:…

Let $T:X\to X$ be a compact linear (or more generally affine) operator from a Banach space into itself. For each $x\in X$, the sequence of iterates $T^nx, n=0,1,...$ and its averages $\frac{1}{k}\sum_{k=0}^nT^{k-1}x, n=0,1,...$ are either…

Assume that $X$ is a complex separable infinite dimensional Banach space and $\mathcal{B}(X)$ denotes the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators from $X$ to itself. In 1970, P.R. Halmos raised ten open problems in Hilbert spaces.…

We prove that every lattice homomorphism acting on a Banach space $\mathcal{X}$ with the lattice structure given by an unconditional basis has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace. In fact, it has a non-trivial closed invariant ideal,…

We introduce new class of limitedly L-weakly compact operators from a Banach space to a Banach lattice. This class is a proper subclass of the Bourgain-Diestel operators and it contains properly the class of L-weakly compact operators. We…

In this note, we define a bounded variant on the Hilbert projective metric on an infinite dimensional space $E$ and study the contraction properties of the projective maps associated with positive linear operators on $E$. More precisely, we…

We improve our previous results on indefinite Kasparov modules, which provide a generalisation of unbounded Kasparov modules modelling non-symmetric and non-elliptic (e.g. hyperbolic) operators. In particular, we can weaken the assumptions…

The concept of an attractor or constrictor was used by several mathematicians to characterize the asymptotic behavior of operators. In this paper we show that a positive LR-net on KB-spaces is mean ergodic if the LR-net has a weakly compact…

Let $X$ be a separable Banach space, $Y$ be a Banach space and $\Lambda$ be a subset of the dual group of a given compact metrizable abelian group. We prove that if $X^*$ and $Y$ have the type I-$\Lambda$-RNP (resp. type II-$\Lambda$-RNP)…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be separable Banach spaces. Suppose $Y$ either has a shrinking basis or $Y$ is isomorphic to $C(2^\mathbb{N})$ and $A$ is a subset of weakly compact operators from $X$ to $Y$ which is analytic in the strong operator…

We develop a systematic approach to continuous substitutions on compact Hausdorff alphabets. Focussing on implications of irreducibility and primitivity, we highlight important features of the topological dynamics of their (generalised)…

We perform an in-depth study of some domination and smoothing properties of linear operators and of their role within the theory of eventually positive operator semigroups. On the one hand we prove that, on many important function spaces,…

Given an arbitrary $p$-Banach ideal $(0 < p \leq 1)$, we ask for geometrical properties of this ideal which are sufficient (and necessary) to allow a transfer of the principle of local reflexivity to this operator class.

For a compact subset $K\subset \mathbb C$ and a positive finite Borel measure $\mu$ supported on $K,$ let $\text{Rat}(K)$ denote the space of rational functions with poles off $K,$ let $R^\infty (K,\mu)$ be the weak-star closure of…

In this paper we first consider the question which nonnegative matrices are commutators of nonnegative square-zero matrices. Then, we treat infinite-dimensional analogues of these results for operators on the Banach lattices $L^p[0,1]$ and…

We characterize classes of linear maps between operator spaces $E$, $F$ which factorize through maps arising in a natural manner via the Pisier vector-valued non-commutative $L^p$ spaces $S_p[E^*]$ based on the Schatten classes on the…

We introduce a new approach to traces on the principal ideal $\mathcal L_{1,\infty}$ generated by any positive compact operator whose singular value sequence is the harmonic sequence. Distinct from the well-known construction of J.~Dixmier,…

We prove the following version of the Kreps-Yan theorem. For any norm closed convex cone $C\subset L^\infty$ such that $C\cap L_+^\infty=\{0\}$ and $C\supset -L_+^\infty$, there exists a strictly positive continuous linear functional, whose…

Lorentzian polynomials are a fascinating class of real polynomials with many applications. Their definition is specific to the nonnegative orthant. Following recent work, we examine Lorentzian polynomials on proper convex cones. For a…

We apply Wermuth's theorem on commuting operator exponentials to show that if $A, B \in B(X)$, $X$ being Banach space and $A$ of $2\pi i$-congruence free spectrum, then $e^A B = B e^A$ if and only if $AB=BA$. We employ this observation to…
