We explore extreme contractions between finite-dimensional polygonal Banach spaces, from the point of view of attainment of norm of a linear operator. We prove that if $ X $ is an $ n- $dimensional polygonal Banach space and $ Y $ is any…

We give an overview of normality and conormality properties of pre-ordered Banach spaces. For pre-ordered Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ with closed cones we investigate normality of $B(X,Y)$ in terms of normality and conormality of the…

We establish a spectral characterization theorem for the operators on complex Hilbert spaces of arbitrary dimensions that attain their norm on every closed subspace. The class of these operators is not closed under addition. Nevertheless,…

We prove that if q is in (1,\infty), Y is a Banach space and T is a linear operator defined on the space of finite linear combinations of (1,q)-atoms in R^n which is uniformly bounded on (1,q)-atoms, then T admits a unique continuous…

We show that for any operator $T:l_\infty^N\to Y$, where $Y$ is a Banach space, that its cotype 2 constant, $K_2(T)$, is related to its $(2,1)$-summing norm, $\pi_{2,1}(T)$, by $K_2(T) \le c \log\log N \pi_{2,1}(T) $. Thus, we can show that…

Let X be a real Banach space. We prove that the existence of an injective, positive, symmetric and not strictly singular operator from X into its dual implies that either X admits an equivalent Hilbertian norm or it contains a nontrivially…

According to Kim, Peris and Song, a continuous linear operator $T$ on a complex Banach space $X$ is called {\it numerically hypercyclic} if the numerical orbit $\{f(T^nx):n\in\N\}$ is dense in $\C$ for some $x\in X$ and $f\in X^*$…

This paper contains the following results: a) Suppose that X is a non-trivial Banach space and L is a non-empty locally compact Hausdorff space without any isolated points. Then each linear operator T: C_{0}(L,X)\to C_{0}(L,X), whose range…

If $A,B$ are bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space, then % $w(A) \leq \frac{1}{2}\left( \|A\|+\sqrt{r\left(|A||A^*|\right)}\right)$ and $w(AB \pm BA)\leq 2\sqrt{2}\|B\|\sqrt{ w^2(A)-\frac{c^2(\Re (A))+c^2(\Im (A))}{2} },$…

We investigate the spectral and index-theoretic properties of the Hodge-Dirac operator $D = \mathrm{d} + \mathrm{d}^*$ acting on the Banach space $\mathrm{L}^p(\Omega^\bullet(M))$ of differential forms over a compact Riemannian manifold…

We give new necessary and sufficient conditions for the numerical range $W(T)$ of an operator $T \in \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ to be a subset of the closed elliptical set $K_\delta \subseteq \mathbb{C}$ given by \[ K_\delta {\stackrel{\rm…

The principle of optimizing inequalities, or their equivalent operator theoretic formulation, is well established in analysis. For an operator, this corresponds to extending its action to larger domains, hopefully to the largest possible…

We characterize real Banach spaces $Y$ such that the pair $(\ell_\infty ^n, Y)$ has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property for operators. To this purpose it is essential the use of an appropriate basis of the domain space $\R^n$. As a…

In this paper we completely characterize the norm attainment set of a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space. This partially answers a question raised recently in [\textit{D. Sain, On the norm attainment set of a bounded linear…

We introduce a new norm, called $N^{p}$-norm $(1\leq{p}<\infty)$ on a space $N^{p}(V,W)$ where $V$ and $W$ are abstract operator spaces. By proving some fundamental properties of the space $N^{p}(V,W)$, we also obtain that if $W$ is…

Consider the polynomial ring in any finite number of variables over the complex numbers, endowed with the $\ell_1$-norm on the system of coefficients. Its completion is the Banach algebra of power series that converge absolutely on the…

We characterise those Banach spaces $X$ which satisfy that $L(Y,X)$ is octahedral for every non-zero Banach space $Y$. They are those satisfying that, for every finite dimensional subspace $Z$, $\ell_\infty$ can be finitely-representable in…

In this article, we present some new general forms of numerical radius inequalities for Hilbert space operators. The significance of these inequalities follow from the way they extend and refine some known results in this field. Among other…

A Hankel operator $\mathbf{H}_\varphi$ on the Hardy space $H^2$ of the unit circle with analytic symbol $\varphi$ has minimal norm if $\|\mathbf{H}_\varphi\|=\|\varphi \|_2$ and maximal norm if $\|\mathbf{H}_\varphi\| = \|\varphi\|_\infty$.…
