Let $E$ be one of the spaces $C(K)$ and $L_1$, $F$ be an arbitrary Banach space, $p>1,$ and $(X,\sigma)$ be a space with a finite measure. We prove that $E$ is isometric to a subspace of the Lebesgue-Bochner space $L_p(X;F)$ only if $E$ is…

The classical 1961 solution to the problem of determining the number of perfect matchings (or dimer coverings) of a rectangular grid graph -- due independently to Kasteleyn and to Temperley and Fisher -- consists of changing the sign of…

Let $\mathcal{E}$ and $\mathcal{F}$ be symmetrically $\Delta$-normed (in particular, quasi-normed) operator spaces affiliated with semifinite von Neumann algebras $\mathcal{M}_1$ and $\mathcal{M}_2$, respectively. We establish a…

A variant of Li-Tam theory, which associates to each end of a complete Riemannian manifold a positive solution of a given Schr\"odinger equation on the manifold, is developed. It is demonstrated that such positive solutions must be of…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a class of Banach spaces and let $T=\{T_\alpha\}_{\alpha\in A}$ be a set of metric spaces. We say that $T$ is a set of {\it test-spaces} for $\mathcal{P}$ if the following two conditions are equivalent: (1)…

The convolution inequality $h*h(\xi) \leq B |\xi|^\theta h(\xi)$ defined on $\Rn$ arises from a probabilistic representation of solutions of the $n$-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, $n \geq 2$. Using a chaining argument, we establish…

The article [HPS] established a monotonicity inequality for the Helmholtz equation and presented applications to shape detection and local uniqueness in inverse boundary problems. The monotonicity inequality states that if two scattering…

It is proved that for any separable infinite dimensional Banach space $X$, there is a bounded linear operator $T$ on $X$ such that $T$ satisfies the Kitai Criterion. The proof is based on quasisimilarity argument and on showing that $I+T$…

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…

The purpose of this note is to describe some algebraic conditions on a Banach algebra which force it to be finite dimensional. One of the main results in Theorem~2 which states that for a locally compact group $G$, $G$ is compact if there…

In this paper, we will study some properties of b-weakly compact operators and we will investigate their relationships to some variety of operators on the normed vector lattices. With some new conditions, we show that the modulus of an…

It is known that if $M$ is a finite-dimensional Banach space, or a strictly convex space, or the space $\ell_1$, then every non-expansive bijection $F: B_M \to B_M$ is an isometry. We extend these results to non-expansive bijections $F: B_E…

In this paper we study the arithmetic invariants of Euclidean lattice in the context of Arakelov geometry. We regard a Euclidean lattice as a hermitian vector bundle $\bar E$ on ${\rm Spec}(\mathbb{Z})$ and consider two typical arithmetic…

G. Godefroy asked whether, on any Banach space, the set of norm-attaining functionals contains a 2-dimensional linear subspace. We prove that a recent construction due to C.J. Read provides an example of a space which does not have this…

A 1972 duality conjecture due to Pietsch asserts that the entropy numbers of a compact operator acting between two Banach spaces and those of its adjoint are (in an appropriate sense) equivalent. This is equivalent to a dimension free…

We construct an indecomposable reflexive Banach space $X_{ius}$ such that every infinite dimensional closed subspace contains an unconditional basic sequence. We also show that every operator $T\in \mathcal{B}(X_{ius})$ is of the form…

We give an affirmative answer to a question asked by Faghih-Ahmadi and Hedayatian regarding supercyclic vectors. We show that if $\mathcal X$ is an infinite-dimensional normed linear space and $T$ is a supercyclic operator on $\mathcal X$,…

We provide a negative solution to a question of M. Rieffel who asked if the right and left topological stable ranks of a Banach algebra must always agree. Our example is found amongst a class of nest algebras. We show that for many other…

Motivated by a seminal paper of professor M. Z. Nashed published in 1987 on classification of ill-posed linear operator equations and distinguishing two types of ill-posedness in Banach and Hilbert spaces, we present, illustrate and justify…

We give a new proof of Fejes T\'oth's zone conjecture: for any sequence $v_1,v_2,...,v_n$ of unit vectors in a real Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, there exists a unit vector $v$ in $\mathcal{H}$ such that \begin{equation*} |\langle v_k,v…
