We investigate for which compactifications $\gamma\omega$ of the discrete space of natural numbers $\omega$, the natural copy of the Banach space $c_0$ is complemented in $C(\gamma\omega)$. We show, in particular, that the separability of…

In this paper, almost Dunford-Pettis operators with ranges in $c_0$ are used to identify totally bounded sets in the absolute weak topology. That is, a bounded subset $A$ of a Banach lattice $E$ is $|\sigma|(E,E^\prime)$-totally bounded if…

We present new completeness conditions for exponential systems on the complex plane in Banach algebras of continuous functions on a compact with a connected complement that are simultaneously holomorphic in the interior of this compact if…

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{C}$ be an arbitrary domain in the one-dimensional complex plane equipped with a positive Radon measure $\mu$. For any $1\le p< \infty$, it is shown that the weighted Bergman space $A^p(\Omega, \mu)$ of holomorphic…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable discrete group. We say that $\Gamma$ has $C^*$-invariant subalgebra rigidity (ISR) property if every $\Gamma$-invariant $C^*$-subalgebra $\mathcal{A}\le C_r^*(\Gamma)$ is of the form $C_r^*(N)$ for some normal…

For a bounded function $f$ from the unit sphere of a closed subspace $X$ of a Banach space $Y$, we study when the closed convex hull of its spatial numerical range $W(f)$ is equal to its intrinsic numerical range $V(f)$. We show that for…

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…

Given a Banach space X and a subspace Y, the pair (X,Y) is said to have the approximation property (AP) provided there is a net of finite rank bounded linear operators on X all of which leave the subspace Y invariant such that the net…

We introduce a chain condition (bishop), defined for operators acting on C(K)-spaces, which is intermediate between weak compactness and having weakly compactly generated range. It is motivated by Pe{\l}czy\'nski's characterisation of…

It is shown that if $1<p<\infty$ and $X$ is a subspace or a quotient of an $\ell_p$-direct sum of finite dimensional Banach spaces, then for any compact operator $T$ on $X$ such that $\|I+T\|>1$, the operator $I+T$ attains its norm. A…

Given any continuous self-map f of a Banach space E over K (where K is R or C) and given any point p of E, we define a subset sigma(f,p) of K, called spectrum of f at p, which coincides with the usual spectrum sigma(f) of f in the linear…

For a compact group $\mathbb{G}$, the functor from unital Banach algebras with contractive morphisms to metric spaces with 1-Lipschitz maps sending a Banach algebra $A$ to the space of $\mathbb{G}$-representations in $A$ preserves filtered…

Using elementary probabilistic methods, in particular a variant of the Weak Law of Large Numbers related to the Bernoulli distribution, we prove that for every infinite compact spaces $K$ and $L$ the product $K\times L$ admits a sequence…

Suppose $T$ and $S$ are bounded adjointable operators with close range between Hilbert C*-modules, then $TS$ has closed range if and only if $Ker(T)+Ran(S)$ is an orthogonal summand, if and only if $Ker(S^*)+Ran(T^*)$ is an orthogonal…

We prove that if every bounded linear operator (or $N$-homogeneous polynomials) with the compact approximation property attains its numerical radius, then $X$ is a finite dimensional space. Moreover, we present an improvement of the…

Suppose $\Pi_1(E, F)$ is the space of all absolutely 1-summing operators between two Banach spaces $E$ and $F$. We show that if $F$ has a copy of $c_0$, then $\Pi_1(E, F)$ will have a copy of $c_0$, and under some conditions if $E$ has a…

For a locally compact group $G$ we look at the group algebras $C_0(G)$ and $C_r^*(G)$, and we let $f\in C_0(G)$ act on $L^2(G)$ by the multiplication operator $M(f)$. We show among other things that the following properties are equivalent:…

The powerful concept of an operator ideal on the class of all Banach spaces makes sense in the real and in the complex case. In both settings we may, for example, consider compact, nuclear, or $2$--summing operators, where the definitions…

For a space $X$ denote by $C_b(X)$ the Banach algebra of all continuous bounded scalar-valued functions on $X$ and denote by $C_0(X)$ the set of all elements in $C_b(X)$ which vanish at infinity. We prove that certain Banach subalgebras $H$…

For a completely regular space $X$, let $C_B(X)$ be the normed algebra of all bounded continuous scalar-valued mappings on $X$ equipped with pointwise addition and multiplication and the supremum norm and let $C_0(X)$ be its subalgebra…
