We answer in the affirmative the surprisingly difficult questions: If a complex Banach space possesses a real predual X, then is X a complex Banach space? If a complex Banach space possesses a real predual, then does it have a complex…

We study the denseness of Crawford number attaining operators on Banach spaces. Mainly, we prove that if a Banach space has the RNP, then the set of Crawford number attaining operators is dense in the space of bounded linear operators. We…

Let $A$ be an unbounded operator on a Banach space $X$. It is sometimes useful to improve the operator $A$ by extending it to an operator $B$ on a larger Banach space $Y$ with smaller spectrum. It would be preferable to do this with some…

A remarkable result of Moln\'ar [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 126 (1998), 853-861] states that automorphisms of the algebra of operators acting on a separable Hilbert space is stable under "small" perturbations. More precisely, if $\phi,\psi$…

We present partial results to the following question: Does every infinite dimensional Banach space have an infinite dimensional subspace on which one can define an operator which is not a compact perturbation of a scalar multiplication?

Let H be a real (or complex) Hilbert space. Every nonnegative operator $L \in L(H)$ admits a unique nonnegative square root $R \in L(H)$, i.e., a nonnegative operator $R \in L(H)$ such that $R^{2}= L$. Let $GL^{+}_{S}(H)$ be the set of…

Let $H(\mathbb{D})$ be the linear space of all analytic functions on the open unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ and $H^p(\mathbb{D})$ the Hardy space on $\mathbb{D}$. The characterization of complex linear isometries on $\mathcal{S}^p=\{f\in…

We initiate an investigation into how much the existing theory of (nonselfadjoint) operator algebras on a Hilbert space generalizes to algebras acting on L^p spaces. In particular we investigate the applicability of the theory of real…

Motivated by a question of Vincent Lafforgue, we study the Banach spaces $X$ satisfying the following property: there is a function $\vp\to \Delta_X(\vp)$ tending to zero with $\vp>0$ such that every operator $T\colon L_2\to L_2$ with…

EP Banach space operators and EP Banach algebra elements are characterized using different kinds of factorizations. The results obtained generalize well-known characterizations of EP matrices, EP Hilbert space operators and EP $C^*$-algebra…

We prove that if the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on a separable Banach function space $X(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and on its associate space $X'(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and a maximally modulated Calder\'on-Zygmund singular integral operator…

We show that there are $2^{2^{\aleph_0}}$ different closed ideals in the Banach algebra $L(L_p(0,1))$, $1<p\not= 2<\infty$. This solves a problem in A. Pietsch's 1978 book "Operator Ideals". The proof is quite different from other methods…

Let X be a Banach Space over K=R or C, and let f:=F+C be a weakly coercive operator from X onto X, where F is a C^1-operator, and C a C^1 compact operator. Sufficient conditions are provided to assert that the perturbed operator f is a…

We study mapping properties of the centered Hardy--Littlewood maximal operator $\mathcal{M}$ acting on Lorentz spaces $L^{p,q}(\mathfrak{X})$ in the context of certain non-doubling metric measure spaces $\mathfrak{X}$. The special class of…

We study the solvability of boundary-value problems for differential-operator equations of the second order in L p (0, 1; X), with 1 < p < +$\infty$, X being a UMD complex Banach space. The originality of this work lies in the fact that we…

Let $E$ and $G$ be two Banach function spaces, let $T \in \mathcal{L}(E,Y)$, and let ${\langle X,Y \rangle}$ be a Banach dual pair. In this paper we give conditions for which there exists a (necessarily unique) bounded linear operator…

This paper deals with study of Birkhoff-James orthogonality of a linear operator to a subspace of operators defined between arbitrary Banach spaces. In case the domain space is reflexive and the subspace is finite dimensional we obtain a…

We show that some previous results concerning the boundedness of differentiation and integration operators on weighted spaces given by radial weights in the unit disk or the complex plane might fail without some natural additional…

In this paper, our main purpose is to establish a weak factorization of the classical Hardy spaces in terms of a multilinear Calder\'on-Zygmund operator on the ball Banach function spaces. Furthermore, a new characterization of the BMO…

In this paper, we further investigate the problem of commutativity up to a factor (or $\lambda$-commutativity) in the setting of bounded and unbounded linear operators in a complex Hilbert space. The results are based on a new approach to…
