Let $\mathcal H$ be an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, and let $\mathcal B(\mathcal H)$ ($\mathcal K(\mathcal H)$) be the $C^*$-algebra of bounded (respectively, compact) linear operators in $\mathcal H$. Let $(E,\|\cdot\|_E)$ be a…

It is well known that weakly $p$-summable sequences in a Banach space $E$ are associated to bounded operators from $\ell_{p^*}$ to $E$, and unconditionally $p$-summable sequences in $E$ are associated to compact operators from $\ell_{p^*}$…

The main purpose of this note is to show that the question posed in the paper of Sinha D.P. and Karn A.K.("Compact operators which factor through subspaces of $l_p$ Math. Nachr. 281, 2008, 412-423; see the very end of that paper) has a…

We show that there are compact linear operators on Banach spaces which cannot be approximated by numerical radius attaining operators.

We prove that every lattice homomorphism acting on a Banach space $\mathcal{X}$ with the lattice structure given by an unconditional basis has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace. In fact, it has a non-trivial closed invariant ideal,…

Let $\cal A$ be a Banach algebra. We study those closed ideals $I$ of $\cal A$ for which the first cohomology group of $\cal A$ with coefficients in $I^*$ is trivial; i.e. $H^1(\cal A,I^*)=\{0\}$. We investigate such closed ideals when…

The powerful concept of an operator ideal on the class of all Banach spaces makes sense in the real and in the complex case. In both settings we may, for example, consider compact, nuclear, or $2$--summing operators, where the definitions…

In \cite{Os} a general spectral approximation theory was developed for compact operators on a Banach space which does not require that the operators be self-adjoint and also provides a first order correction term. Here we extend some of the…

The purpose of this article is to study the anti-coproximinal and strongly anti-coproximinal subspaces of the Banach space of all bounded (continuous) functions. We obtain a tractable necessary condition for a subspace to be stronsgly…

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…

For a completely regular space $X$, let $C_B(X)$ be the normed algebra of all bounded continuous scalar-valued mappings on $X$ equipped with pointwise addition and multiplication and the supremum norm and let $C_0(X)$ be its subalgebra…

For a Banach space $X$, let $\mathcal{L}(X)$ denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $X$ and let $\mathcal{K}(X)$ denote the compact operator ideal in $\mathcal{L}(X)$. The quotient algebra $\mathcal{L}(X)/\mathcal{K}(X)$ is…

The closed one-sided ideals of a C*-algebra are exactly the closed subspaces supported by the orthogonal complement of a closed projection. Let A be a (not necessarily selfadjoint) subalgebra of a unital C*-algebra B which contains the unit…

If X is a compact Hausdorff space, supplied with a homeomorphism, then a crossed product involutive Banach algebra is naturally associated with these data. If X consists of one point, then this algebra is the group algebra of the integers.…

Let X and Y be complex Banach spaces, B_X be the open unit ball of X and HL(B_X,Y) be the Banach space of all holomorphic Lipschitz maps f:B_X->Y such that f(0)=0, endowed with the Lipschitz norm. Given a Banach operator ideal A, we use the…

Let $X$ be a separable Banach space, $Y$ be a Banach space and $\Lambda$ be a subset of the dual group of a given compact metrizable abelian group. We prove that if $X^*$ and $Y$ have the type I-$\Lambda$-RNP (resp. type II-$\Lambda$-RNP)…

For Banach spaces $X,Y,$ we consider a distance problem in the space of bounded linear operators $\mathcal{L}(X,Y).$ Motivated by a recent paper \cite{RAO21}, we obtain sufficient conditions so that for a compact operator…

The main result is that there are infinitely many; in fact, a continuum; of closed ideals in the Banach algebra $L(L_1)$ of bounded linear operators on $L_1(0,1)$. This answers a question from A. Pietsch's 1978 book "Operator Ideals". The…

This manuscript presents a systematic study of Calkin algebras -- the quotients $\mathcal{L}(X)/\mathcal{K}(X)$ of bounded operators modulo compact operators on a Banach space $X$ -- and establishes a framework for realizing commutative…

Given a Banach space X and a bounded linear operator T on X, a subspace Y of X is almost invariant under T if TY is a subspace of Y+F for some finite-dimensional ``error'' F. In this paper, we study subspaces that are almost invariant under…
