We investigate M-ideals of compact operators and two distinct properties in norm-attaining operator theory related with M-ideals of compact operators called the weak maximizing property and the compact perturbation property. For Banach…

Let $G$ be a connected, real semisimple Lie group. Let $K<G$ be maximal compact, and let $\Gamma < G$ be discrete and such that $\Gamma \backslash G$ has finite volume. If the real rank of $G$ is $1$ and $\Gamma$ is torsion-free, then…

Using notions from the geometry of Banach spaces we introduce square functions $\gamma(\Omega,X)$ for functions with values in an arbitrary Banach space $X$. We show that they have very convenient function space properties comparable to the…

For a bounded function $f$ from the unit sphere of a closed subspace $X$ of a Banach space $Y$, we study when the closed convex hull of its spatial numerical range $W(f)$ is equal to its intrinsic numerical range $V(f)$. We show that for…

If $X$ is a subset of a Banach space with $X-X$ homogeneous, then $X$ can be embedded into some $\R^n$ (with $n$ sufficiently large) using a linear map $L$ whose inverse is Lipschitz to within logarithmic corrections. More precisely,…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a complex, separable Hilbert space, and set $\mathfrak{c}($NIL$_2)=\{ MN - NM : N, M \in \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}), M^2 = 0 = N^2 \}$. When $\dim\, \mathcal{H}$ is finite, we characterise the set $\mathfrak{c}($NIL$_2)$…

A bounded linear operator is said to be nice if its adjoint preserves extreme points of the dual unit ball. Motivated by a description due to Labuschagne and Mascioni \cite{LM} of such maps for the space of compact operators on a Hilbert…

We study the geometry of $\mathcal{L}(X)_w,$ the space of all bounded linear operators on a Banach space $X,$ endowed with the numerical radius norm, whenever the numerical radius defines a norm. We obtain the form of the extreme points of…

We introduce a numerical radius operator space $(X, \mathcal{W}_n)$. The conditions to be a numerical radius operator space are weaker than the Ruan's axiom for an operator space $(X, \mathcal{O}_n)$. Let $w(\cdot)$ be the numerical radius…

Several refinements of norm and numerical radius inequalities of bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space are given. In particular, we show that if $A$ is a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space, then $$…

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 study hermitian operators and isometries on spaces of vector-valued Lipschitz maps with the sum norm: $\|\cdot\|_{\infty}+L(\cdot)$. There are two main theorems in this paper. Firstly, we prove that every hermitian operator on…

Let $X$ be a reflexive Banach space. In this paper we give a necessary and sufficient condition for an operator $T\in \mathcal{K}(X)$ to have the best approximation in numerical radius from the convex subset $\mathcal{U} \subset…

We shall verify the Kakeya (Nikodym) maximal operator $K_{N}$, $N\gg 1$, is bounded on the variable Lebesgue space $L^{p(\cdot)}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ when the exponent function $p(\cdot)$ is $N$-modified locally log-H\"{o}lder continuous and…

Let $E$ be a real Banach space. For $x,y \in E,$ we follow R.James in saying that $x$ is orthogonal to $y$ if $\|x+\alpha y\|\geq \|x\|$ for every $\alpha \in R$. We prove that every operator from $E$ into itself preserving orthogonality is…

We study monotone operators in reflexive Banach spaces that are invariant with respect to a group of suitable isometric isomorphisms and we show that they always admit a maximal extension which preserves the same invariance. A similar…

Let $X$, $Y$ be two real Banach spaces and $\varepsilon>0$. A standard $\varepsilon$-isometry $f:X\rightarrow Y$ is said to be $(\alpha,\gamma)$-stable (with respect to $T:L(f)\equiv\overline{{\rm span}}f(X)\rightarrow X$ for some $\alpha,…

Given a Banach space~$X$ with an unconditional basis, we consider the following question: does the identity on~$X$ factor through every operator on~$X$ with large diagonal relative to the unconditional basis? We show that on Gowers'…

For $\xi \in \big(0, {1/2} \big)$, we denote by $E_{\xi}$ the perfect symmetric set associated to $\xi$, that is $$ E_{\xi} = \Big\{\exp \big(2i \pi (1-\xi) \dsp \sum_{n = 1}^{+\infty} \epsilon_{n} \xi^{n-1} \big) : \epsilon_{n} = 0…

In this mostly expository article, we give streamlined proofs of several well-known Lipschitz extension theorems. We pay special attention to obtaining statements with explicit expressions for the extension constants. One of our main…
