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…

Every composition of two strictly singular operators is compact on the Baernstein space $B_p$ for $1 < p < \infty$ and on the $p$-convexified Schreier space $S_{p}$ for $1 \leq p < \infty$. Furthermore, every subsymmetric basic sequence in…

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…

For $0<p\leq\infty$, let $F^{p}_\varphi$ be the Fock space induced by a weight function $\varphi$ satisfying $ dd^c \varphi \simeq \omega_0$. In this paper, given $p\in (0, 1]$ we introduce the concept of weakly localized operators on $…

Kalton and Mitrea characterized complex interpolation spaces of quasi-Banach function spaces as Calder\'on products if both interpolants are separable. We show that one separability assumption may be omitted and establish a…

Let $T:X\to X$ be a compact linear (or more generally affine) operator from a Banach space into itself. For each $x\in X$, the sequence of iterates $T^nx, n=0,1,...$ and its averages $\frac{1}{k}\sum_{k=0}^nT^{k-1}x, n=0,1,...$ are either…

Let $A$ be a Banach space, $p>1$, and $1/p+1/q=1$. If a sequence $a=(a_i)$ in $A$ has a finite $p$-sum, then the operator $\Lambda_a:\ell^q\to A$, defined by $\Lambda_a(\beta)=\sum_{i=1}^\infty \beta_i a_i, \beta=(\beta_i)\in \ell^q$, is…

A theorem of Davis, Figiel, Johnson and Pe{\l}czy\'nski tells us that weakly-compact operators between Banach spaces factor through reflexive Banach spaces. The machinery underlying this result is that of the real interpolation method,…

We give sufficient conditions on an asymptotic $\ell_p$ (for $1 < p < \infty$) Banach space which ensure the space admits an operator which is not a compact perturbation of a multiple of the identity. These conditions imply the existence of…

A Banach space operator $A\in B({\cal{X}})$ is polaroid, $A\in {\cal{P}}$, if the isolated points of the spectrum $\sigma(A)$ are poles of the operator; $A$ is hereditarily polaroid, $A\in{\cal{HP}}$, if every restriction of $A$ to a closed…

The known duality of the space of Bloch complex-valued functions on the open complex unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ is addressed under a new approach with the introduction of the concepts of Bloch molecules and Bloch-free Banach space of…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces such that the ideal of operators which factor through $Y$ has codimension one in the Banach algebra $\mathscr{B}(X)$ of all bounded operators on $X$, and suppose that $Y$ contains a complemented subspace…

Let $T:Y\to X$ be a bounded linear operator between two normed spaces. We characterize compactness of $T$ in terms of differentiability of the Lipschitz functions defined on $X$ with values in another normed space $Z$. Furthermore, using a…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be standard operator algebras on Banach spaces $\mathcal{X}$ and $\mathcal{Y}$, respectively. In this paper, we show that every bijection completely preserving quadratic operators from $\mathcal{A}$ onto…

We study best approximations to compact operators between Banach spaces and Hilbert spaces, from the point of view of Birkhoff-James orthogonality and semi-inner-products. As an application of the present study, some distance formulae are…

The generalized Ces\`{a}ro operators $\mathcal{C}_t$, for $t\in[0,1)$, introduced in the 1980's by Rhaly, are natural analogues of the classical Ces\`{a}ro averaging operator $\mathcal{C}_1$ and act in various Banach sequence spaces…

We study pairs of Banach spaces $(X,Y)$, with $Y\subset X$, for which the thesis of Sobczyk's theorem holds, namely, such that every bounded $c_0$-valued operator defined in $Y$ extends to $X$. We are mainly concerned with the case when $X$…

We study the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property (BPBp for short) for compact operators. We present some abstract techniques which allows to carry the BPBp for compact operators from sequence spaces to function spaces. As main applications,…

Given a separable Banach space $E$, we construct an extremely non-complex Banach space (i.e. a space satisfying that $\|Id + T^2\|=1+\|T^2\|$ for every bounded linear operator $T$ on it) whose dual contains $E^*$ as an $L$-summand. We also…

We study several classes of Banach bimodules over a II$_1$ factor $M$, endowed with topologies that make them "smooth" with respect to $L^p$-norms implemented by the trace on $M$. Letting $M\subset \B= \B(L^2M)$, and $2\leq p < \infty$, we…
