We identify the predual of the nonreflexive Bergman space of the upper half plane, $L_a^1(\uP,\mu_{\al})$, with the little Bloch space of the upper half plane consisting of functions vanishing at $i$. We then investigate both the semigroup…

We study the problem of the existence of a common algebraic complement for a pair of closed subspaces of a Banach space. We prove the following two characterizations: (1) The pairs of subspaces of a Banach space with a common complement…

Let $\mathbb{X}$ be a Banach space and let $\mathbb{X}^*$ be the dual space of $\mathbb{X}.$ For $x,y \in \mathbb{X},$ $ x$ is said to be $T$-orthogonal to $y$ if $Tx(y) =0,$ where $T$ is a bounded linear operator from $\mathbb{X}$ to…

In this article, we give a representation for compact operators acting between reflexive Banach spaces, which generalizes the representation given by Edmunds et al. for compact operators between reflexive Banach spaces with strictly convex…

Real linear operators between two complex Banach spaces unify naturally two important classes of linear operators and antilinear operators. We give a survey of basic geometric, spectral and duality properties of real linear operators. The…

In this paper we study some basic properties of bicomplex linear operators on bicomplex Hilbert spaces. Further we discuss some applications of Hahn-Banach theorem on bicomplex Banach modules. We also introduce and discuss some bicomplex…

An algebra of bounded linear operators on a Banach space is said to be {\em strongly compact} if its unit ball is precompact in the strong operator topology, and a bounded linear operator on a Banach space is said to be {\em strongly…

In this paper Hilbert spaces are characterized among Banach spaces in terms of transitivity with respect to nicely behaved subgroups of the isometry group. For example, the following result is typical here: If X is a real Banach space…

We investigate some subtle and interesting phenomena in the duality theory of operator spaces and operator algebras. In particular, we give several applications of operator space theory, based on the surprising fact that certain maps are…

We characterise the Banach spaces $X$ which are $L_1$-predual as those for which every Lipschitz compact mapping $f:N\longrightarrow X$ admits, for every $\varepsilon>0$ and every $M$ containing $N$, a Lipschitz (compact) extension…

In this article, concepts of well- and ill-posedness for linear operators in Hilbert and Banach spaces are discussed. While these concepts are well understood in Hilbert spaces, this is not the case in Banach spaces, as there are several…

We prove, under certain conditions, the existence of zeros for a weakly continuous operator on a paracompact topological space into the dual of a Banach space.

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…

The notion of B-convexity for operator spaces, which a priori depends on a set of parameters indexed by $\Sigma$, is defined. Some of the classical characterizations of this geometric notion for Banach spaces are studied in this new…

We present partial results to the following question: Does every infinite dimensional Banach space have an infinite dimensional subspace on which one can define an operator which is not a compact perturbation of a scalar multiplication?

A space $X$ is said to be hereditarily indecomposable if no two (infinite dimensional) subspaces of $X$ are in a direct sum. In this paper, we show that if $X$ is a complex hereditarily indecomposable Banach space, then every operator from…

An algebra A of operators on a Banach space X is called strictly semi-transitive if for all non-zero x,y in X there exists an operator S in A such that Sx=y or Sy=x. We show that if A is norm-closed and strictly semi-transitive, then every…

It is proved that a commutative algebra $A$ of operators in a reflexive real Banach space has an invariant subspace if each operator $T\in A$ satisfies the condition $$\|1- \varepsilon T^2\|_e \le 1 + o(\varepsilon) \text{ when }…

It is a longstanding problem whether every contractible Banach algebra is necessarily finite-dimensional. In this note, we confirm this for Banach algebras acting on Banach spaces with the uniform approximation property. This generalizes a…

Given a Banach space $E$, we ask which closed subspaces may be realised as the kernel of a bounded operator $E \rightarrow E$. We prove some positive results which imply in particular that when $E$ is separable every closed subspace is a…
