Metric projection operators can be defined in similar wayin Hilbert and Banach spaces. At the same time, they differ signifitiantly in their properties. Metric projection operator in Hilbert space is a monotone and nonexpansive operator. It…

We characterize $k-$smoothness of bounded linear operators defined between infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. We study the problem in the setting of both finite and infinite-dimensional Banach spaces. We also characterize $k-$smoothness…

We prove various notions of uniform continuity for compact-quantum-group representations on Hilbert or Banach spaces equivalent to having finite spectrum, i.e. finitely many isotypic components. This generalizes the classical analogue for…

This paper deals with the following types of problems: Assume a Banach space $X$ has some property (P). Can it be embedded into some Banach space $Z$ with a finite dimensional decomposition having property (P), or more generally, having a…

Concentration compactness method is a powerful techniques for establishing existence of minimizers for inequalities and of critical points of functionals in general. The paper gives a functional-analytic formulation for the method in Banach…

In the paper is considered two problems on extension of operators whose range space for the first problem (or domain space for the second one) belongs to the fixed class of finite equivalence, which is generated by a given Banach space $X$.…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a class of Banach spaces and let $T=\{T_\alpha\}_{\alpha\in A}$ be a set of metric spaces. We say that $T$ is a set of {\it test-spaces} for $\mathcal{P}$ if the following two conditions are equivalent: (1)…

The notion of nonpositive curvature in Alexandrov's sense is extended to include p-uniformly convex Banach spaces. Infinite dimensional manifolds of semi-negative curvature with a p-uniformly convex tangent norm fall in this class on…

The purpose of this paper is to lay the foundations for the study of the problem of when $\Ext^n(X, Y)=0$ in Banach/quasi-Banach spaces. We provide a number of examples of couples $X,Y$ so that $\Ext^n(X,Y)$ is (or is not ) $0$, including…

The classical tools which ensure the completeness of vector fields and second order differential equations for mechanical systems are revisited. Possible extensions in three directions are discussed: infinite dimensional Banach and Hilbert…

These draft notes are from a graduate course given by the author in Berkeley during the spring semester of 2005. They cover the basic ideas of a new, geometric approach to geometric measure theory. They begin with a new theory of exterior…

Given a Banach space $\mathcal X$, let $x$ be a point in $\text{ball}(\mathcal X)$, the closed unit ball of $\mathcal X$. One says that $x$ is a strongly extreme point of $\text{ball}(\mathcal X)$ if it has the following property: for every…

Given a total sequence in a Hilbert space, we speak of an upper (resp. lower) semi-frame if only the upper (resp. lower) frame bound is valid. Equivalently, for an upper semi-frame, the frame operator is bounded, but has an unbounded…

Bregman divergences play a pivotal role in statistics, machine learning and computational information geometry. Particularly in the context of machine learning, they are central to clustering, exponential families, parameter estimation and…

In this paper, pointwise convergence, uniform convergence and compact convergence of sequences of holomorphic functions on an open subset of the complex plane are compared from a linear point of view. In fact, it is proved the existence of…

The question is addressed of when a Sobolev type space, built upon a general rearrangement-invariant norm, on an $n$-dimensional domain, is a Banach algebra under pointwise multiplication of functions. A sharp balance condition among the…

We construct an example of a real Banach space whose group of surjective isometries has no uniformly continuous one-parameter semigroups, but the group of surjective isometries of its dual contains infinitely many of them. Other examples…

Among other things, we show that the ideal sheaf of a complex Hilbert submanifold of a pseudoconvex open subset of Hilbert space is acyclic over the ambient pseudoconvex open set. We also prove a vanishing theorem for a fairly general class…

Amenability of any of the algebras described in the title is known to force them to be finite-dimensional. The analogous problems for \emph{approximate} amenability have been open for some years now. In this article we give a complete…

In topological equivalence, a bounded linear operator between Banach spaces - we focus on the case of Hilbert spaces - is viewed as only acting linearly and continuously between them qua different spaces with the structure of linear…
