The classification of separable operator spaces and systems is commonly believed to be intractable. We analyze this belief from the point of view of Borel complexity theory. On one hand we confirm that the classification problems for…

Let $E,F$ be exact operators (For example subspaces of the $C^*$-algebra $K(H)$ of all the compact operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$). We study a class of bounded linear maps $u\colon E\to F^*$ which we call tracially…

Every closed subspace of each of the Banach spaces $X = \ell_p(\Gamma)$ and $X=c_0(\Gamma)$, where $\Gamma$ is a set and $1<p<\infty$, is the kernel of a bounded operator $X\to X$. On the other hand, whenever $\Gamma$ is an uncountable set,…

We describe a closed operator functional calculus in Banach modules over the group algebra $L^1(\mathbb R)$ and illustrate its usefulness with a few applications. In particular, we deduce a spectral mapping theorem for operators in the…

In this article, we address a problem posed by F. Bayart regarding the existence of an infinite-dimensional closed vector subspace (excluding the null operator) within the set of supercyclic operators on Banach spaces. We resolve this…

The discrete Ces\`aro operator $ C $ acts continuously in various classical Banach sequence spaces within $ \mathbb{C}^{\mathbb{N}}.$ For the coordinatewise order, many such sequence spaces $ X $ are also complex Banach lattices (eg. $c_0,…

Given a Banach space $X$, a $w^*$-compact subset of $X^*$, and $1<p<\infty$, we provide an optimal relationship between the Szlenk index of $K$ and the Szlenk index of an associated subset of $L_p(X)^*$. As an application, given a Banach…

We describe a topological predual to differential forms constructed as an inductive limit of a sequence of Banach spaces. This subspace of currents has nice properties, in that Dirac chains and polyhedral chains are dense, and its operator…

We prove that in the reflexive range $1<p<q<\infty$ the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $\ell_p\oplus\ell_q$ has infinitely many closed ideals. This solves a problem raised by A. Pietsch in his book `Operator ideals'.

Let $A,$ $T$ and $B$ be bounded linear operators on a Banach space. This paper is concerned mainly with finding some necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence in operator norm of the sequences $\left\{ A^{n}TB^{n}\right\} $ and…

Let $X$ be a Banach space and $K$ an absolutely convex, weak$^\ast$-compact subset of $X^\ast$. We study consequences of $K$ having a large or undefined Szlenk index and subsequently derive a number of related results concerning basic…

We consider the action of finitely truncated singular integral operators on functions taking values in a Banach space. Such operators are bounded for any Banach space, but we show a quantitative improvement over the trivial bound in any…

We derive new estimates for the number of discrete eigenvalues of compactly perturbed operators on Banach spaces, assuming that the perturbing operator is an element of a weak entropy number ideal. Our results improve upon earlier results…

We denote by $\bbt$ the unit circle and by $\bbd$ the unit disc of $\bbc$. Let $s$ be a non-negative real and $\omega$ a weight such that $\omega(n) = (1+n)^{s} \quad (n \geq 0)$ and such that the sequence $\dsp…

We show that operators on a separable infinite dimensional Banach space $X$ of the form $I +S$, where $S$ is an operator with dense generalised kernel, must lie in the norm closure of the hypercyclic operators on $X$, in fact in the closure…

We introduce and study a class of betweenness algebras-Boolean algebras with binary operators, closely related to ternary frames with a betweenness relation. From various axioms for betweenness, we chose those that are most common, which…

In this paper we give conditions under which sub differential limits can be better estimated.

Let $\Bc$ denote the real-valued functions continuous on the extended real line and vanishing at $-\infty$. Let $\Br$ denote the functions that are left continuous, have a right limit at each point and vanish at $-\infty$. Define $\acn$ to…

In this article, we give an abstract characterization of the ``identity'' of an operator space $V$ by looking at a quantity $n_{cb}(V,u)$ which is defined in analogue to a well-known quantity in Banach space theory. More precisely, we show…

We investigate some subtle and interesting phenomena in the duality theory of operator spaces and operator algebras. In particular, we give several applications of operator space theory, based on the surprising fact that certain maps are…
