A theorem of Davis, Figiel, Johnson and Pe{\l}czy\'nski tells us that weakly-compact operators between Banach spaces factor through reflexive Banach spaces. The machinery underlying this result is that of the real interpolation method,…
In this paper we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of non-norm-attaining operators in $\mathcal{L}(E, F)$. By using a theorem due to Pfitzner on James boundaries, we show that if there exists a relatively compact…
We study order-to-weak continuous operators from an ordered Banach space to a normed space. It is proved that under rather mild conditions every order-to-weak continuous operator is bounded.
A banach space X is a normed vector space, which is complete with respect to the metric induced by the norm. Given a bounded linear operator T acting on a banach space X, T is said to attain its norm if there is a unit vector z in X, such…
We show that there exist infinite-dimensional extremely non-complex Banach spaces, i.e. spaces $X$ such that the norm equality $\|Id + T^2\|=1 + \|T^2\|$ holds for every bounded linear operator $T:X\longrightarrow X$. This answers in the…
A basic sequence in a Banach space is called wide-$(s)$ if it is bounded and dominates the summing basis. (Wide-$(s)$ sequences were originally introduced by I.~Singer, who termed them $P^*$-sequences). These sequences and their quantified…
Averaged operators have played an important role in fixed point theory in Hilbert spaces. They emerged as a necessity to obtain solutions to fixed point problems where the underlying operator is not contractive and thus renders Banach fixed…
It has been very recently discovered that there are compact linear operators between Banach spaces which cannot be approximated by norm attaining operators. The aim of this expository paper is to give an overview of those examples and also…
In this paper we study sufficient conditions for an operator to have an almost-invariant half-space. As a consequence, we show that if $X$ is an infinite-dimensional complex Banach space then every operator $T\in\mathcal{L}(X)$ admits an…
In this paper we study very smooth points of Banach spaces with special emphasis on spaces of operators. We show that when the space of compact operators is an $M$-ideal in the space of bounded operators, a very smooth operator $T$ attains…
In this paper we explore some basic properties of quasi-Banach function spaces which are important in applications. Namely, we show that they posses a generalised version of Riesz--Fischer property, that embeddings between them are always…
Very recently, motivated by the result of Bhatia and \v{S}emrl which characterizes the Birkhoff-James orthogonality of operators on a finite dimensional Hilbert space in terms of norm attaining points, the Bhatia-\v{S}emrl property was…
The main goal of this article is to show that for every (reflexive) infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$ there exists a reflexive Banach space $Y$ and $T, R \in \mathcal{L}(X,Y)$ such that $R$ is a rank-one operator, $\|T+R\|>\|T\|$ but…
We address a question by Henry Towsner about the possibility of representing linear operators between ultraproducts of Banach spaces by means of ultraproducts of nonlinear maps. We provide a bridge between these "accessible" operators and…
We explore the norm attainment set and the minimum norm attainment set of a bounded linear operator between Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces. Indeed, we obtain a complete characterization of both the sets, separately for operators between…
Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces, and $T:X^*\to Y$ be an operator. We prove that if $X$ is Asplund and $Y$ has the approximation property, then for each Radon probability $\mu$ on $(B_{X^*},w^*)$ there is a sequence of $w^*$-to-norm…
A closed subspace of a Banach space $\cX$ is almost-invariant for a collection $\cS$ of bounded linear operators on $\cX$ if for each $T \in \cS$ there exists a finite-dimensional subspace $\cF_T$ of $\cX$ such that $T \cY \subseteq \cY +…
We develop a microspectral theory for quasinilpotent linear operators $Q$ (i.e., those with $\sigma(Q) = \{0}$) in a Banach space. When such $Q$ is not compact, normal, or nilpotent, the classical spectral theory gives little information,…
We investigate the interplay among three key properties of bounded linear operators between Banach spaces: the Bhatia-\v{S}emrl property, strong subdifferentiability and the condition that the essential norm is strictly less than the…
We give some characterizations of disjointly weakly compact sets in Banach lattices, namely, those sets in whose solid hulls every disjoint sequence converges weakly to zero. As an application, we prove that a bounded linear operator from a…
