We prove an abstract theorem on keeping the compactness property of a linear operator after interpolation in Banach spaces. Our approach consists of two features. Applying the principle "reductio ad absurdum," we obtain a possibility to…

Continuing with the study of Approximately ultrahomogeneous and Fra\"iss\'e Banach spaces introduced by V. Ferenczi, J. L\'opez-Abad, B. Mbombo and S. Todorcevic, we define formally weaker and in some aspects more natural properties of…

We study the properties of "generic", in the sense of the Haar measure on the corresponding Grassmann manifold, subspaces of l^N_infinity of given dimension. We prove that every "well bounded" operator on such a subspace, say E, is a…

Let $X$ be a compact Hausdorff space and $A$ a Banach algebra. We investigate amenability properties of the algebra $C(X,A)$ of all $A$-valued continuous functions. We show that $C(X,A)$ has a bounded approximate diagonal if and only if $A$…

We study Birkhoff-James orthogonality of compact (bounded) linear operators between Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces. Applying the notion of semi-inner-products in normed linear spaces and some related geometric ideas, we generalize and…

In this paper we study sufficient conditions for an operator to have an almost-invariant half-space. As a consequence, we show that if $X$ is an infinite-dimensional complex Banach space then every operator $T\in\mathcal{L}(X)$ admits an…

The unique maximal ideal in the Banach algebra $L(E)$, $E = (\oplus \ell^\infty(n))_{\ell^1}$, is identified. The proof relies on techniques developed by Laustsen, Loy and Read and a dichotomy result for operators mapping into $L^1$ due to…

In this note, we consider the smallest submaximal space structure {\mu}(X) on a Banach space X. We derive a characterization of {\mu}(X) up to complete isometric isomorphism in terms of a universal property. Also, we show that an injective…

A classical theorem due to G.D. Birkhoff states that there exists an entire function whose translates approximate any given entire function, as accurately as desired, over any ball of the complex plane. We show this result may be…

A complete contraction on a C*-algebra A, which preserves all closed two sided ideals J, can be approximated pointwise by elementary complete contractions if and only if the induced map on the tensor product of B with A/J is contractive for…

A Banach space contains either a minimal subspace or a continuum of incomparable subspaces. General structure results for analytic equivalence relations are applied in the context of Banach spaces to show that if $E_0$ does not reduce to…

The paper introduces the notion of properties $(Z_{\Pi_a})$ and $(Z_{E_a})$ as variants of Weyl's theorem and Browder's theorem for bounded linear operators acting on infinite dimensional Banach spaces. A characterization of these…

We introduce and develop the notion of hyper-ideals of multilinear operators between Banach spaces. While the well studied notion of ideals of multilinear operators (multi-ideals) relies on the composition with linear operators, the notion…

We discuss a set-valued generalization of strong proximinality in Banach spaces, introduced by J. Mach [Continuity properties of Chebyshev centers, J. Approx. Theory, 29(3):223--230, 1980] as property-$(P_1)$. We establish that if the…

We investigate Banach space automorphisms $T:\ell_\infty/c_0\rightarrow\ell_\infty/c_0 $ focusing on the possibility of representing their fragments of the form $$T_{B,A}:\ell_\infty(A)/c_0(A)\rightarrow \ell_\infty(B)/c_0(B)$$ for $A,…

It is well known that iterates of quasi-compact operators converge towards a spectral projection, whereas the explicit construction of the limiting operator is in general hard to obtain. Here, we show a simple method to explicitly construct…

Let $X$ be a Hausdorff topological vector space, $X^*$ its topological dual and $Z$ a subset of $X^*$. In this paper, we establish some results concerning the $\sigma(X,Z)$-approximate fixed point property for bounded, closed convex subsets…

In this paper, we consider certain topological properties along with certain types of mappings on these spaces defined by the notion of ideal convergence. In order to do that, we primarily follow in the footsteps of the earlier studies of…

For a bounded linear operator on a Banach space, we study approximation of the spectrum and pseudospectra in the Hausdorff distance. We give sufficient and necessary conditions in terms of pointwise convergence of appropriate spectral…

We initiate a study of structural properties of the quotient algebra $\mathcal K(X)/\mathcal A(X)$ of the compact-by-approximable operators on Banach spaces $X$ failing the approximation property. Our main results and examples include the…
