We prove that if T is a strictly singular 1-1 operator defined on an infinite dimensional Banach space X, then for every infinite dimensional subspace Y of X there exists an infinite dimensional subspace Z of Y such that Z contains orbits…

Every composition of two strictly singular operators is compact on the Baernstein space $B_p$ for $1 < p < \infty$ and on the $p$-convexified Schreier space $S_{p}$ for $1 \leq p < \infty$. Furthermore, every subsymmetric basic sequence in…

V. D. Milman proved in \cite{Milman:70} that the product of two strictly singular operators on $L_p[0,1]$ ($1\le p<\infty$) or on $C[0,1]$ is compact. In this note we utilize Schreier families $\S_\xi$ in order to define the class of…

We present condition on higher order asymptotic behaviour of basic sequences in a Banach space ensuring the existence of bounded non-compact strictly singular operator on a subspace. We apply it in asymptotic $\ell_p$ spaces, $1\leq…

A bounded linear operator between Banach spaces is called {\it completely continuous} if it carries weakly convergent sequences into norm convergent sequences. Isolated is a universal operator for the class of non-completely-continuous…

We present a method for constructing bounded strictly singular non-compact operators on mixed Tsirelson spaces defined either by the families (A_n) or (S_n) of a certain class, as well as on spaces built on them, including hereditarily…

We study the family of isomorphisms and strictly singular operators in mixed Tsirelson spaces and their modified versions setting. We show sequential minimality of modified mixed Tsirelson spaces $T_M[(\mc{S}_n,\theta_n)]$ satisfying some…

If a separable Banach space $X$ is such that for some nonquasireflexive Banach space $Y$ there exists a surjective strictly singular operator $T:X\to Y$ then for every countable ordinal $\alpha $ the dual of $X$ contains a subspace whose…

We study the structure of strictly singular non-compact operators between $L_p$ spaces. Answering a question raised in [Adv. Math. 316 (2017), 667-690], it is shown that there exist operators $T$, for which the set of points…

We prove that for each dense non-compact linear operator $S:X\to Y$ between Banach spaces there is a linear operator $T:Y\to c_0$ such that the operator $TS:X\to c_0$ is not compact. This generalizes the Josefson-Nissenzweig Theorem.

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…

Let $X$ be the direct sum of finitely many Banach spaces chosen from the following three families: (i) the Baernstein spaces $B_p$ for $1<p<\infty$; (ii) the $p$-convexified Schreier spaces $S_p$ for $1\le p<\infty$; (iii) the sequence…

We show that there exist infinite-dimensional extremely non-complex Banach spaces, i.e. spaces $X$ such that the norm equality $\|Id + T^2\|=1 + \|T^2\|$ holds for every bounded linear operator $T:X\longrightarrow X$. This answers in the…

As is well known absolute convergence and unconditional convergence for series are equivalent only in finite dimensional Banach spaces. Replacing the classical notion of absolutely summing operators by the notion of 1 summing operators \[…

Using the notion of $S_\xi$-strictly singular operator introduced by Androulakis, Dodos, Sirotkin and Troitsky, we define an ordinal index on the subspace of strictly singular operators between two separable Banach spaces. In our main…

Let $X$ be a real or complex Banach space and $T_t:X\to X$ is a power bounded operator (or a $C_0$-semigroup). If there exists a "occasionally" attracting compact subset K (for each x$ in unit ball $\liminf_n \rho(T^n x, K)=0$ then there…

The class of strictly singular operators originating from the dual of a separable Banach space is written as an increasing union of $\omega_1$ subclasses which are defined using the Schreier sets. A question of J. Diestel, of whether a…

It is proved that if a Banach space $X$ has a basis $(e_n)$ satisfying every spreading model of a normalized block basis of $(e_n)$ is 1-equivalent to the unit vector basis of $\ell_1$ (respectively, $c_0$) then $X$ contains $\ell_1$…

We construct a weak Hilbert Banach space such that for every block subspace $Y$ every bounded linear operator on Y is of the form D+S where S is a strictly singular operator and D is a diagonal operator. We show that this yields a weak…
