In this paper, we investigate power-bounded operators, including surjective isometries, on Banach spaces. Koehler and Rosenthal asserted that an isolated point in the spectrum of a surjective isometry on a Banach space lies in the point…

Let $E$ and $G$ be two Banach function spaces, let $T \in \mathcal{L}(E,Y)$, and let ${\langle X,Y \rangle}$ be a Banach dual pair. In this paper we give conditions for which there exists a (necessarily unique) bounded linear operator…

For an operator $T \in B(X,Y)$, we denote by $a_m(T)$, $c_m(T)$, $d_m(T)$, and $t_m(T)$ its approximation, Gelfand, Kolmogorov, and absolute numbers. We show that, for any infinite dimensional Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, and any sequence…

In this paper we introduce the concept of a nonnegative rank of a positive operator $T\colon X\to Y$ between ordered vector spaces. In the case of nonnegative matrices, our definition agrees with the standard definition of a nonnegative…

If T is a bounded linear operator acting on an infinite-dimensional Banach space, then there exists and operator F of rank at most one and arbitrarily small norm such that T-F has an invariant subspace of infinite dimension and codimension.…

We prove the following result: For each closed $n$-dimensional manifold $M$ in a (finite or infinite-dimensional) Banach space $B$, and each positive real $m\leq n$ there exists a pseudomanifold $W^{n+1}\subset B$ such that $\partial…

Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space and let ${\mathcal P}(H)$ be the associated projective space (the set of rank-one projections). Suppose that $\dim H\ge 3$. We prove the following Wigner-type theorem: if $H$ is finite-dimensional, then…

If $K$ is a compact Hausdorff space so that the Banach lattice $C(K)$ is isometrically lattice isomorphic to a dual of some Banach lattice, then $C(K)$ can be decomposed as the $\ell^\infty$-direct sum of the carriers of a maximal singular…

We prove that every separable infinite-dimensional Banach space admits a G\^ateaux smooth and rotund norm which is not midpoint locally uniformly rotund. Moreover, by using a similar technique, we provide in every infinite-dimensional…

Given a C$^*$-algebra $A$, let $S(A^+)$ denote the set of those positive elements in the unit sphere of $A$. Let $H_1$, $H_2,$ $H_3$ and $H_4$ be complex Hilbert spaces, where $H_3$ and $H_4$ are infinite-dimensional and separable. In this…

We prove that if T is a strictly singular 1-1 operator defined on an infinite dimensional Banach space X, then for every infinite dimensional subspace Y of X there exists an infinite dimensional subspace Z of Y such that Z contains orbits…

The famous Koecher-Vinberg theorem characterises the finite dimensional formally real Jordan algebras among the finite dimensional order unit spaces as the ones that have a symmetric cone. An alternative characterisation of symmetric cones…

The ``multiple of the inclusion plus compact problem'' which was posed by T.W. Gowers in 1996 and Th. Schlumprecht in 2003, asks whether for every infinite dimensional Banach space $X$ there exists a closed subspace $Y$ of $X$ and a bounded…

Let $X$ be a real Banach lattice with a unit, let $Y \subseteq X$ be a closed subspace containing the unit. In this paper we study the order theoretic (also isometric) structure of $Y$ that it may inherit from $X$ under some additional…

In this paper we study the norm-attainment of positive operators between Banach lattices. By considering an absolute version of James boundaries, we prove that: If $E$ is a reflexive Banach lattice whose order is given by a basis and $F$ is…

We describe the surjective isometries of the unit sphere of real Schreier spaces of all orders and their $p$-convexifications, for $1 < p < \infty$. This description allows us to provide for those spaces a positive answer to a special case…

This paper aims to study a family of deterministic optimal control problems in infinite dimensional spaces. The peculiar feature of such problems is the presence of a positivity state constraint, which often arises in economic applications.…

It is proved that the resolvent norm of an operator with a compact resolvent on a Banach space $X$ cannot be constant on an open set if the underlying space or its dual is complex strictly convex. It is also shown that this is not the case…

We show that the centre of a Dedekind complete complex Banach lattice is a commutative $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-algebra in the order unit norm. This implies that the order unit norm and the operator norm coincide. As an application of the latter,…

A rational triangle $T$ (one whose angles are rational multiples of $\pi$) unfolds to a translation surface $(X_T,\omega_T)$. The lattice triangle problem asks to classify those $T$ for which $(X_T,\omega_T)$ is a Veech (lattice) surface,…
