We study extreme contractions in the setting of finite-dimensional polyhedral Banach spaces. Motivated by the famous Krein-Milman Theorem, we prove that a \emph{rank one} norm one linear operator between such spaces can be expressed as a…

We characrterize extreme contractions defined between \ finite-dimensional polyhedral Banach spaces using $k$- smoothness of operators. We also explore weak L-P property, a recently introduced concept in the study of extreme contractions.…

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 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…

Suppose $L(H)$ is the space of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space $H.$ This article deals with the problem of characterizing the extreme contractions of $L(H)$ with respect to the numerical radius norm on $L(H).$ In…

We characterize $k-$smoothness of bounded linear operators defined between infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. We study the problem in the setting of both finite and infinite-dimensional Banach spaces. We also characterize $k-$smoothness…

We give sufficient conditions on a Banach space $X$ which ensure that $\ell_{\infty}$ embeds in $\mathcal{L}(X)$, the space of all operators on $X$. We say that a basic sequence $(e_n)$ is quasisubsymmetric if for any two increasing…

We show that a subspace of of $\ell_\infty^N$ of dimension $n>(\log N\log \log N)^2$ contains $2$-isomorphic copies of $\ell_\infty^k$ where $k$ tends to infinity with $n/(\log N\log \log N)^2$. More precisely, for every $\eta>0$, we show…

It is shown in this note that one can decide whether an $n$-dimensional subspace of $\ell_\infty^N$ is isometrically isomorphic to $\ell_\infty^n$ by testing a finite number of determinental inequalities. As a byproduct, an elementary proof…

In this paper, we study {\it operator spaces\/} in the sense of the theory developed recently by Blecher-Paulsen [BP] and Effros-Ruan [ER1]. By an operator space, we mean a closed subspace $E\subset B(H)$, with $H$ Hilbert. We will be…

Johnson and Zippin recently showed that if $X$ is a weak^*-closed subspace of $\ell_1$ and T:X-> C(K) is any bounded operator then T can extended to a bounded operator $\tilde T:\ell_1\to C(K).$ We give a converse result: if X is a subspace…

In the Hardy spaces $H^1$ and $H^\infty$, there are neat and well-known characterizations of the extreme points of the unit ball. We obtain counterparts of these classical theorems when $H^1$ (resp., $H^\infty$) gets replaced by the…

We introduce the concept of weak L-P property for a pair of Banach spaces, in the study of extreme contractions. We give examples of pairs of Banach spaces (not) satisfying weak L-P property and apply the concept to compute the exact number…

We discuss the geometry of the unit ball -- specifically, the structure of its extreme points (if any) -- in subspaces of $L^1$ and $L^\infty$ on the circle that are formed by functions with prescribed spectral gaps. A similar issue is…

The sequence of entropy numbers quantifies the degree of compactness of a linear operator acting between quasi-Banach spaces. We determine the asymptotic behavior of entropy numbers in the case of natural embeddings between…

Using a recent result of Batson, Spielman and Srivastava, We obtain a tight estimate on the dimension of $\ell_p^n$, $p$ an even integer, needed to almost isometrically contain all $k$-dimensional subspaces of $L_p$.

We obtain all extreme and exposed points of the closed unit ball of the space of bilinear forms $T:\ell_{\infty}^{2}\times\ell_{\infty}^{2}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}.$ We also show that any (norm one) bilinear form $T:\ell_{\infty…

In this paper we first review the known results about the closed subideals of the space of bounded operator on $\ell_p\oplus \ell_q$, $1<p<q<\infty$, and then construct several new ones.

In the short note we prove that for every $0<p<1$, there exists an infinite dimensional closed linear subspace of $\mathcal{L}\left( \ell_{p};\ell_{p}\right) $ every nonzero element of which is non $(r,s)$-absolutely summing operator for…

We consider (symmetric, non-degenerate) bilinear spaces over a finite field and investigate the properties of their $\ell$-complementary subspaces, i.e., the subspaces that intersect their dual in dimension $\ell$. This concept generalizes…
