We provide a sufficient condition for a finite number of closed subspaces of a Hilbert space to be linearly independent and their sum to be closed. Under this condition a formula for the orthogonal projection onto the sum is given. We also…

The complemented subspace problem asks, in general, which closed subspaces $M$ of a Banach space $X$ are complemented; i.e. there exists a closed subspace $N$ of $X$ such that $X=M\oplus N$? This problem is in the heart of the theory of…

We give a new proof of a characterization of the closeness of the range of a continuous linear operator and of the closeness of the sum of two closed vector subspaces of a Banach space. Then we state sufficient conditions for the closeness…

Let $X$ be a Banach space, and $M,N$ be two closed subspaces of $X$. We present several necessary and sufficient conditions for the closedness of $M+N$ ($M+N$ is not necessarily direct sum).

We study the problem of the existence of a common algebraic complement for a pair of closed subspaces of a Banach space. We prove the following two characterizations: (1) The pairs of subspaces of a Banach space with a common complement…

Many of the known complemented subspaces of L_p have realizations as sequence spaces. In this paper a systematic approach to defining these spaces which uses partitions and weights is introduced. This approach gives a unified description of…

A Banach space $X$ is called subprojective if any of its infinite dimensional subspaces $Y$ contains a further infinite dimensional subspace complemented in $X$. This paper is devoted to systematic study of subprojectivity. We examine the…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the sum of n subspaces of a Hilbert space to be closed. We also present various properties of n-tuples of subspaces with closed sum.

Given a Banach space. We show that its three times dual space can be written as a direct sum. Then being one of the sumands null is a necessary and sufficient condition for the dual space to be reflexive. We end with an application of this…

We show that a complemented subspace of a locally convex direct sum of an uncountable collection of Banach spaces is a locally convex direct sum of complemented subspaces of countable subsums. As a corollary we prove that a complemented…

It is proved that there exist complemented subspaces of countable topological products (locally convex direct sums) of Banach spaces which cannot be represented as topological products (locally convex direct sums) of Banach spaces. (This is…

This paper presents two general criteria to determine spaceability results in the complements of unions of subspaces. The first criterion applies to countable unions of subspaces under specific conditions and is closely related to the…

It is an open problem whether an infinite-dimensional amenable Banach algebra exists whose underlying Banach space is reflexive. We give sufficient conditions for a reflexive, amenable Banach algebra to be finite-dimensional (and thus a…

We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of symmetric space structures on quotients of Banach symmetric spaces. Along the way, we investigate the different kinds of reflection subspaces and their Lie triple systems.

In this note we obtain new coincidence theorems for absolutely summing multilinear mappings between Banach spaces. We also prove that our results, in general, can not be improved.

We study the numerical index of absolute sums of Banach spaces, giving general conditions which imply that the numerical index of the sum is less or equal than the infimum of the numerical indices of the summands and we provide some…

Necessary and sufficient conditions for a separable Banach space to be a dual space are proved. Some applications are discussed

We study properties of representing and absolutely representing systems of subspaces in Banach spaces. We also present sufficient conditions for the system of subspaces to be a representing system of subspaces.

Understanding the complemented subspaces of $L_p$ has been an interesting topic of research in Banach space theory since 1960. 1999, Alspach proposed a systematic approach to classifying the subspaces of $L_p$ by introducing a norm given by…

We show that complemented subspaces of uncountable products of Banach spaces are products of complemented subspaces of countable subproducts.
