The paper is devoted to the relationship between almost limited operators and weakly compacts operators. We show that if $F$ is a $\sigma $-Dedekind complete Banach lattice then, every almost limited operator $T:E\rightarrow F $ is weakly…

We construct a nonexpansive linear operator on the Gurarii space that "captures" all nonexpansive linear operators between separable Banach spaces. Some additional properties involving its restrictions to finite-dimensional subspaces…

The $p$-Gelfand Phillips property ($1\le p<\infty$) is studied in spaces of operators. Dunford - Pettis type like sets are studied in Banach spaces. We discuss Banach spaces $X$ with the property that every $p$-convergent operator $T:X\to…

It was shown by M. I. Zelikin (2007) that the spectrum of a nuclear operator in a separable Hilbert space is central-symmetric iff the spectral traces of all odd powers of the operator equal zero. The criterium can not be extended to the…

The main goal of this article is to show that for every (reflexive) infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$ there exists a reflexive Banach space $Y$ and $T, R \in \mathcal{L}(X,Y)$ such that $R$ is a rank-one operator, $\|T+R\|>\|T\|$ but…

Using Ostaszewski's $\clubsuit$-principle, we construct a non-metrizable, locally compact, scattered space $L$ in which the operators on the Banach space $C_0(L \times L)$ exhibit a remarkably simple structure. We provide a detailed…

A set of bounded linear operators from a Banach space to a Banach lattice is collectively L-weakly compact whenever union of images of the unit ball is L-weakly compact. We extend the Meyer-Nieberg duality theorem to collectively L-weakly…

The purpose of this note is to show that, if $\mcB$ is a uniformly convex Banach, then the dual space $\mcB'$ has a "Hilbert space representation" (defined in the paper), that makes $\mcB$ much closer to a Hilbert space then previously…

There is no supercyclic power bounded operator of class $C_{1{\textstyle\cdot}}.$ There exist, however, weakly l-sequentially supercyclic unitary operators$.$ We show that if $T$ is a weakly l-sequentially supercyclic power bounded operator…

Given a natural number $k \geq 2$, we construct a hereditarily indecomposable, $\mathscr{L}_{\infty}$ space, $X_k$ with dual isomorphic to $\ell_1$. We exhibit a non-compact, strictly singular operator $S$ on $X_k$, with the property that…

This paper deals with the problem of when, given a collection $\mathcal C$ of weakly compact operators between separable Banach spaces, there exists a separable reflexive Banach space $Z$ with a Schauder basis so that every element in…

We characterize real Banach spaces $Y$ such that the pair $(\ell_\infty ^n, Y)$ has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property for operators. To this purpose it is essential the use of an appropriate basis of the domain space $\R^n$. As a…

A nonempty closed convex bounded subset $C$ of a Banach space is said to have the weak approximate fixed point property if for every continuous map $f:C\to C$ there is a sequence $\{x_n\}$ in $C$ such that $x_n-f(x_n)$ converge weakly to 0.…

We study the set $\operatorname{MA}(X,Y)$ of operators between Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ that attain their minimum norm, and the set $\operatorname{QMA}(X,Y)$ of operators that quasi attain their minimum norm. We characterize the…

We show that every Banach space in which weakly compact sets are super weakly compact in automatically weakly sequentially complete answering a question by Silber (2024). In the proof we show how to build a weakly compact set which is not…

Let $X, Y$ be infinite dimensional, Banach spaces. Let $\mathcal{L}(X, Y)$ be the space of bounded operators . Motivated by the fact that smoothness of norm in the higher duals of even order of a Banach space can lead to Frechet…

We answer the question of W.T. Gowers, giving an example of a bounded operator on a subspace of Gowers unconditional space which is not a strictly singular perturbation of a restriction of a diagonal operator. We make some observations on…

We consider a Hilbert space that is a product of a finite number of Hilbert spaces and operators that are represented by "componental operators" acting on the Hilbert spaces that form the product space. We attribute operatorial properties…

We prove some results on weakly almost square Banach spaces and their relatives. On the one hand, we discuss weak almost squareness in the setting of Banach function spaces. More precisely, let $(\Omega,\Sigma)$ be a measurable space, let…

We study the interpolation and extrapolation properties of strictly singular operators between different $L_p$ spaces. To this end, the structure of strictly singular non-compact operators between $L_p-L_q$ spaces is analyzed. Among other…
