Assume that $X$ is a complex separable infinite dimensional Banach space and $\mathcal{B}(X)$ denotes the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators from $X$ to itself. In 1970, P.R. Halmos raised ten open problems in Hilbert spaces.…

We give an example of a positive element $a$ in some ordered Banach algebra $A$ such that its spectrum is equal to $\{1\}$ and it is not greater than or equal to the unit element of $A$.

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…

Steinhaus proved that given a~positive integer $n$, one may find a circle surrounding exactly $n$ points of the integer lattice. This statement has been recently extended to Hilbert spaces by Zwole\'{n}ski, who replaced the integer lattice…

We consider abstract inverse problems between infinite-dimensional Banach spaces. These inverse problems are typically nonlinear and ill-posed, making the inversion with limited and noisy measurements a delicate process. In this work, we…

We show that for any bounded operator $T$ acting on an infinite dimensional Banach space there exists an operator $F$ of rank at most one such that $T+F$ has an invariant subspace of infinite dimension and codimension. We also show that…

In this paper we characterize Birkhoff-James orthogonality of linear operators defined on a finite dimensional real Banach space $ \mathbb{X}. $ We also explore the symmetry of Birkhoff-James orthogonality of linear operators defined on $…

A well-known theorem due to R. C. James states that a Banach space is reflexive if and only if every bounded linear functional attains its norm. In this note we study Banach lattices on which every (real-valued) lattice homomorphism attains…

Let $V$ be a Banach space where for fixed $n$, $1<n<\dim(V)$, all of its $n$-dimensional subspaces are isometric. In 1932, Banach asked if under this hypothesis $V$ is necessarily a Hilbert space. Gromov, in 1967, answered it positively for…

We characterize left symmetric linear operators on a finite dimensional strictly convex and smooth real normed linear space $ \mathbb{X},$ which answers a question raised recently by one of the authors in \cite{S} [D. Sain,…

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…

For an unbounded operator $S$ on a Banach space the existence of invariant subspaces corresponding to its spectrum in the left and right half-plane is proved. The general assumption on $S$ is the uniform boundedness of the resolvent along…

We show that for any bounded operator $T$ acting on infinite dimensional, complex Banach space, and for any $\varepsilon>0$, there exists an operator $F$ of rank at most one and norm smaller than $\varepsilon$ such that $T+F$ has an…

Let $X$ be a Dedekind complete Banach lattice, and let $P\colon X\to X$ be a positive projection for which the largest central operator below $P$ is $\alpha \operatorname{id}_X$, for some $\alpha \ge 0$. Wickstead conjectured that $\alpha $…

We show some results related to the classical Banach-Tarski paradox in the setting of finite-dimensional normed spaces over a non-Archimedean valued field $K$. For instance, all balls and spheres in $K^n$, and the whole space $K^n$ (for…

A problem of Banach asks whether every infinite-dimensional Banach space which is isomorphic to all its infinite-dimensional subspaces must be isomorphic to a separable Hilbert space. In this paper we prove a result of a Ramsey-theoretic…

For a non-empty locally compact Hausdorff space $X$ and a Dedekind complete normal vector lattice $E$, we show that the vector lattice of norm to order bounded operators from ${\text C}_{\text c}(X)$ or ${\text C}_0(X)$ into $E$ is…

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 study left symmetric bounded linear operators in the sense of Birkhoff-James orthogonality defined between infinite dimensional Banach spaces. We prove that a bounded linear operator defined between two strictly convex Banach spaces is…

We show that any bounded operator $T$ on a separable, reflexive, infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$ admits a rank one perturbation which has an invariant subspace of infinite dimension and codimension. In the non-reflexive spaces, we…
